Our Elf on the Shelf really impressed the kiddos this year.... He even brought Snackeez on his last night with us and left a big mess. I'd like to compliment my other half who was 100% in charge of keeping an eye on our elf. I did nothing. At. All.
Christmas Eve service with a bazillion people at our church. It was amazing as always. Minus the bazillion people. ;)
Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's. The grandkids got pjs. Grandpa got Grady a Rockies shirt with number 5 and DeCola on the back. He loved it!
The girls all got nightgowns this year. Pretty cute.
Ava. Please. Stop. Moving.
Grandma got us all two Christmas books too.
Mimi gave the kids reindeer food to put out that night. Sprinkling it in the front yard for Rudolph.
All the presents out by the tree. Such a pretty pic!
Santa came through.... computer and Snuggles for Lainey, soccer ball and baseball and soccer Play Station games for Grady, and rattles for Ava. Rattles?!? She is prepping for the new baby I guess.
Showing Grandpa his Santa gifts.
Then it was time for lots of present opening!!! So much fun to watch them open gifts. Love it.
Then the Carluccis came over and we ate some yummy breakfast.
And opened gifts from them and Grandma and Grandpa.
Grandma printed off all of Grady's pics from Buffs games and such and made a book in a binder she got at the CU Bookstore. Such a thoughtful gift that he loved. He said, " We can add 2017, 2018 and probably all the way to 2020 in my book!!!"
Grandpa got Chidobe Awuzie's autograph for him too. I think they know he is a big fan.
Silly glasses and Sweet Cow gift cards!
Grandma sewed the girls waitress aprons and coffee shop food for them to play coffee shop. She is a very thoughtful gift giver and should open her own Etsy shop to sell the felt food she makes.....
Roooarrrrr.
Family pic 2016. Baby in there is 26 weeks along.....
Craft table to make place settings for Christmas dinner. We had yummy tenderloin and twice baked potatoes. The best meal any of us has had in a long time, so good.
These two were wiped out on Christmas afternoon. Watching a Mickey I'm sure.
We sang Happy Birthday to Jesus.
And she was done:)
Oh geez. Time slow down. Grady and Isla in 2010.
Sporting his Buffs gear the next day!
