Things start out quiet enough. A few days before Christmas me and my brothers head to my moms for an early celebrations allowing my mom to spend Christmas with my Grandma out of state. This year it was even quieter since my brother that lives near Eugene opted out for fear of the impending storm. It was a good move seeing as we barely made it ourselves.
Look at the joy on Sydney's face. Aubrey is wearing her newly opened jammies never mind its 1:00 in the afternoon. We all exchange gifts and the kids are thrilled to have something to tie them over for a few more days. Thats my sister-in-law in the background with my mom.
On Christmas eve we get together with Nates family, three sisters, one brother, his parents, his brother-in-laws parents and a total of 14 grandchildren. Every year the kids dress up and reenact the nativity. Kelsey 's reprising her role of Mary and Noah made his debut as Joseph, much to the dismay of Kelsey. The twinsies are of couse...angels. (theres always a couple who don't wanna dress up.) It always amazes us how they sit there so seriously and quietly while we read from Luke and sing songs. Its awesome!
Sydney's hugging her new dolly it has a twins sister for Aubrey. The dolls move, talk and interact with each other, its pretty cool. Thats makes 50 dolls in my home, they're literally taking over. (remeber that movie Chuckie ?)
Then it Chirstmas morning at our house. The kids didn't get up too early and they were pretty patient about taking turns. It was a great morning and the kids were really happy with what Santa brought.
See how happy they are. Noah got tons of Lego and pokeman cards just what he's asked for. Kelsey got clothes, boots and littlest pet shop, and the twins got a bunch of my little pony stuff.
The grand finale is at my Dad's Christmas night for dinner. My stepsisters come with their families, we eat like pigs and finish exchanging gifts. My Dad got us a WII which were having loads of fun with. At the end of the night Noah asked if we were going to go over to anyones else house to open presents. Good Grief..true meaning of Chirstmas anyone?
