Christmas Eve and Day

We had a wonderful Christmas at home, surrounded by family! It was perfect in every way! On Christmas Eve, we baked cookies, watch "A Christmas Story" and went to bed early. Nothing beats freshly bathed kids in their new pj's.....
Owen surprised us when he got up on all fours....
is he actually going to crawl???
Of course not.... he sat back up and butt scooted away.
Christmas morning started bright and early at 6am! Owen was fully aware of Christmas this year and was SO excited with every present he opened. He got a remote control train set, a new shiny red car, lots of puzzles and books.
Kamryn got a new hot pink DSI, games, books and a bunch of American Girl stuff. This was just the Santa loot. I have no idea where I'm going to put everything!!

I spent the morning Christmas Eve, making these little plaques for all the Grandparents. Larissa found them online and I borrowed the idea for my family. They were fun to make with Kamryn and she loved handing them out.
We spent the rest of our Christmas morning lounging around... Kamryn on her DSI, Carson and Owen napped, and I finished up the baking for the day.
My family came over around noon, and we had a delicious lunch/dinner. We opened more presents and played some games. Kamryn got the WII fit she was dying to have!
Owen played with the bows and paper off of all the presents.
Then he jumped on his bounce and spin pony, which is actally a big hit!
I wish I would have taken more pictures of the adults, but I was busy taking out the trash, cooking, cleaning, assembling toys, playing with the kids and enjoying myself. I have another Christmas party to post about, but first.. we have one more Christmas party in an hour.

Merry Christmas! Where did you find those plaques? I want some for Mothers Day.

Glad to hear that you had a great time with your family.

Your picture plaques turned out super cute. I love the polka dot paper. I forgot to take pictures of mine, and gave them all away. Guess I'll have to make more! :-)

Merry Christmas! Those family pictures are great. . . I almost didn't recognize Owen without his O2 and tape on his face... Soooo handsome.
