Christmas Day

We always have Christmas morning just us and I love it! The kids all slept downstairs together and we told them they were not allowed to come upstairs until we told them. At about 8 they started yelling upstairs for us to get up. So we got to sleep in a little which was nice. Then they checked out their stash from Santa and then we opened presents. Then we ate breakfast and hung out for a few hours. The boys worked on putting their new Lego sets together while the girls and I set up Band Hero for the Wii. Then we headed down the street to Mike's moms. The kids knew there was a Christmas surprise waiting for everyone there and were so excited to find the air hockey table! We spent the afternoon eating, opening presents, playing games, and just enjoying family. I had to go to work for a few hours that evening, the girls had their traditional Christmas sleepover at Grandma's, and the boys went home to work on Legos some more.

Ry got new socks, she always wears unmatched socks.
She says it's bad luck to wear matching socks.

Our niece, Ashley and her husband Brett, went to Brazil for Christmas to see his parents so their pug, Lucy was staying with Grandma Wendy and we got to spend Christmas with her. Jenna was thrilled! I told her that was her puppy for the day since that is what she wanted for Christmas.

The boys had more Legos to open at Grandma's and spent most of the afternoon doing this:

The rest of the time they spent playing air hockey. I am not sure who had more fun playing the kids or the adults. It will definitely get used.
