Christmas Fun!

Christmas Eve with Grandpa and Grandma Beatie at Danny and Sonja's
We usually spend Christmas Eve with my dad, brother & sisters, and Beatie & her kids. This year there were 14 adults and 11 kids! The kids always have more fun than we do, but that's what it's all about, right?!

"We should have asked Santa for one of these!"


Christmas Morning at home
In previous years, Robby and I have woke up before Reagan to video her seeing the presents for the first time. But this year Mommy and Daddy were tired...Reagan woke us up about 8:30. She came jumping on our bed, "It's Christmas morning! Santa was here!!". What a cool feeling to hear the excitement in her voice, as it brought back so many memories of doing the same thing when I was little. But usually, Michael beat all of us out of bed that morning.


Our girls
Taylor, McKinley, Kennedy, Reagan, and Madison

McKinley, our drama queen


Kennedy digging in her stocking.
Mommy should have put a bow in her hair so she could have seen better.


Madison, stacking and organizing her playdoh.


Taylor, loved her new cup!
She didn't want to open anything else.


Four girls playing in the new kitchen Santa brought them.
Christmas night
We spent the last part of the day with my mom, brother, and sisters.
Once again, the girls received many wonderful gifts. We exchange names between siblings, and it's always fun to find out "who had you".

Ellie loves to sit with the girls, and the girls love to share, especially Kennedy, who knows she gets the special seat. :) The girls love hanging out with their cousin!

Day after Christmas
We spent Friday at Robby's parents' house opening presents, eating, playing, eating some more, and being entertained by the kids. The kids out number us here, so they usually lead the show, literally. 6 adults and 7 kids!

Logan and Reagan putting on a singing show for us.
