Christmas Morning Fun!

There were LOTS of great gifts on Christmas ... but the best were the hugs we got from the kids! Oh, and Dennis probably thinks a close second was the peanut brittle they put in his stocking!Grandan got a new jacket ... "Hey, you wanna make something of it?!"

Tyler and Dennis have had a blast with the tool set Grandma and Grandpa gave Tyler ...
And, the rocket the kids got from us was a "blast" for the WHOLE family!EXCEPT Nanny, who reluctantly came out to see the show, but almost had her head taken off when it went awry!Books are ALWAYS a huge hit with our kids. Abby has already read a few of these chapter books to herself!To parents, it's the homemade gifts that mean the most. Grammy and Grandan loved their mugs, painted by Abby and Tyler. And, Dennis was thrilled to get ANOTHER portrait for his office. I think I'll have to go in and help him arrange his gallery.A break in the present opening to fly like Superman!More reading ... thanks Colorado Schnittkers for keeping our library stocked!And, thank you for the cute cousins frame to remind us of the times we spend together (too few and far between though!) Notice Grammy behind Abby in this photo? Unfortunately, she was camera shy on Christmas morning, because I only got shots of her behind people! Believe me, she was having fun!Abby got Tyler a personalized mug to match hers ... "Cheers Tyler!"And Cheers to me as well. When the present opening goes on all morning, a mimosa is in order! No shots of me opening my gifts ... but the new vacuum I received from everyone definitely came in handy to clean up this mess! And, I've been LOVING my new coffeemaker too!When everything was opened, Grandan and Abby hit the green. Thanks Grammy and Grandan for this fun gift. I think Grandan is grooming the children to join him down the road!
