Christmas Day

Wednesday, December 25, 2013

The kids had all slept in Lex's room upstairs.  For the 1st time ever, we had to wake them up to see what Santa had brought. Cam got an iHome for her iPod, Seth got a drum set, and Santa had taken Lex's iPod, fixed the screen, and returned it.

We headed to Grandma & Grandpa Jenkins' house for a waffle breakfast and a gift exchange, which started with Grandma Hein having the kids open weird stuff she bought for the cabin, like fly sticks and mouse traps. We had made Mom a scrapbook of the cruise they took us on.  I think she was close to tears!

Abby was the "innocente" this year.  She had asked for a Snuggie blanket, but Ryan got her Snuggie diapers. The blanket was in the box.  Jo scored with this gift too, getting all the diapers for Jude.

We all hung out their for a while, the kids loving time with their CA cousins and their newest cousin, Jude, then everyone went home for naps.

That evening the whole family came over for Nacho Supremes and a Ping Pong tournament.  We had gotten Dad Duck Dynasty DVDs, so he wore this camo jumpsuit when he came.

Ryan won the tournament this year, but I played my best game ever!

The girls inside tried out our new Just Dance game.

And Jo wanted to add a new Colombian tradition to our Christmas Day, and brought crazy smoking sparklers and illegal bottle rocket type fireworks. Our neighbors came out to make sure it wasn't gunfire! 

We love all the family time at the holidays!
