Christmas Festivities

Our Christmas festivities started out at Gram’s house on Christmas Eve where we enjoyed family and good food, as usual.  It seems I was busy with kids and babies again as I only took pictures of opening presents.

An instrument set!

 

Then we had our little family Christmas at home on Christmas morning.  We spent the afternoon at Mom’s (after a nap!), but there are no pictures to prove it.

A piggy bank!

Noticing Elijah’s interest in music, we focused on getting him instruments to encourage that this year.

Joshua with the one and only gift we bought him…a stuffed dog.

 

The next day we headed south for Jacob’s family get together, but we made a pit stop at Dad’s house for a visit.  The boys had a blast on his tire swing (as did Jacob!).  There aren’t many pictures of Josiah since he was mostly done swinging by the time I got my camera.  Sorry, I couldn’t narrow down these smiling faces!

 

Then we went for a Christmas celebration at Granny and Papa’s.

 

And then on to Uncle Allen and Aunt Amy’s house.

Will has this swing that hangs from way up high in a huge tree.  The boys had a great time swinging high!

And then we made our way home…exhausted.  Yet another year of laughs, love, and ridiculous white elephant gifts.
