Sunday: Bailey Family Christmas. Always a blast to watch the cousins run around and play together. Avery crawled after the big kids and tried to eat everything on the floor. Lydia just had a blast running around and opening presents. We played BINGO for our presents...they were all on the table and after getting a BINGO we got to pick out our prize and keep playing. We came home with a haul! Paula also gave each family a Cotton Candy machine...excited to break that out soon!
Monday: Christmas Eve...Kieffer Family Birthday Party for Jesus, dinner by candlelight, caroling, cake eating (and singing this year at the request of Lydia) and writing goals.
Tuesday: Christmas...Presents and fun! Santa came. The Reindeer ate the food Lydia put out for them. Lydia was amazed and so excited to start opening presents. I loved watching the magic in her eyes. We opened presents here at our house...and had some guests present also, Oma, Opa, Kathyrn, Ken, Xiao Hua, and Vanessa all came over to witness the festivities. Then we headed over to their house for a present opening extravaganza...that lasted until 1 p.m. or so! We were all exhausted when it was over. The rest of the day was a lazy day...watching kids play with toys and hanging out.
Now for the pictures:
(I took so many pictures! Please go here to see the complete Christmas album.)
We went caroling to an assisted living center on Saturday evening. I dressed the girls up...they were not excited.
Made her cry again. A photo calendar of all the grandkids.
Christmas Eve present!
Lydia put cookie cutters into the cake while she was waiting for us to get to the table. So creative!
Putting the cookies out for Santa. She felt she had to have some cookies and milk also.
Proof.
We also exist!
Ben got tickets to a Huskers game.
The favorite gift, a doctor kit. Everyone had a to have a check up or multiple check ups.
I could post so many more pictures! It was a crazy few days and I love looking at these pictures.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
