We have had a blessed Christmas, lots of family, lots of food, lots of presents, lots of fun, lots of stuff to unpack!!
Today we are playing, unpacking, washing, cleaning, burning (trash), and enjoying time spent at home just to play and do whatever!!!!
We began our Christmas fun with Grandma Nikki on Friday evening, she came to our house, we unwrapped, and unwrapped and unwrapped some more!! We are very thankful with our biggest gifts being, Brandon - a very wanted gun cabinet (safe), Lori - a Chi hair straightner, Tayden - a kitten cooner coon light , Tucker - a DS
We are very grateful as Grandma Nikki usually goes a little overboard with her shopping!!!!!! I try to tell her every year to not buy as much and do less, but she doesn't listen!!!
We then got to see Grandma Charlotte, and Grandpa Jim (Brandons Grandparents.) It was fun, relaxed, older kids, a little sad( we miss Aunt Annette)!! We appreciate our monetary gift from them!!!!
Next was Christmas Eve at Grandma Chucks(My grandma)!!! Wow I remember leaving there and singing Grandma got ran over by a reindeer, being very very giddy in the back of the mini van when I was a little girl!!! The chicken salad sandwiches were great and we enjoyed the gift of homemade food!!
Christmas Eve we then headed to Glenwood, MO to great aunt Lindas (Blbs great aunt), where there is a lot of laughter, some untraditional fun!!! Late nights and we head home to get ready for SANTA!!
SANTA did come to our house, the boys even left feed and hay for the reindeer and then the reindeer even left droppings!!!!
As soon as we were showered and ready we headed to Grandpa Gary's and Grandma Suzy's (mom and dads) . 10 grandkids + 8 adult kids = fun and lots of noise. We had a great time and the yearly homemade gifts were fun as normal!! I will do more on that later! Presents Highlights were Brandon - ProV 1 golf balls, Lori - pressure canner, Tayden - camera and lincoln logs, Tucker - hot wheels wall track
When presents were opened and fun was had we headed to Grandpa Dickies (blbs dad)
Grandma Lisa and uncle bradly were also ready to see us!! Presents highlights - Brandon - knife and $$$, Lori - scentsy warmer (and boots ) $$$, Tayden - Mario Brothers DS game, movie, Tucker - wall tracks and Toy Story Dump Truck!!
We enjoyed time with them and even a NAP!!! It was fun and Brandon and Dickie always hunt in the afternoon!!!
Today we are home for a while at least...
Great summary of Christmas! A couple corrections are necessary - Gr Chuck has hot chicken sandwiches (not chicken salad) and we have 10 adults and 10 kids. I realize that you did not could Dad and I but WE DO COUNT! Hope all had fun as we sure did. I will try to keep improving your Birthday breakfast! Love, MOM
