At my parents house for Christmas Eve. Jack & Davis ate 1/3 of those chips and dip. They were so cute feeding each other chips.
Yummy!! Pa's dip is so good!

We spent Christmas Day at Bobby's parents house. Jack eating M & M's out of Emma's new Princess tea cup!

Jack must have had a hard night sleeping. His hair is so funny. He loves the new Mac Truck that Santa brought him.

Emma hugging on her new Aurora Princess baby doll that Santa brought her. She loves her so much!

My sweet princess.

Emma looking very tired in her Grandpa's lap.

Emma wiped out from all the fun taking a nap on Grandpa's couch with her new Aurora doll.

Santa brought Emma some new sparkle shoes just like her red ones. She does not like to take her shoes off (even when she sleeps!)

Daddy with Jack. How adorable. I love my two guys!

Mommy with Jack. Can you tell that I just recently woke up. Yikes!

We had such a wonderful two days of Christmas. We went to my brother's house to load some pictures of our kids on the new digital picture frame that we got my parents. While we were loading the pictures, Danna was helping the kids make cookies to leave for Santa. Then the kids played and played. They had so much fun together. It is so awesome that God put the kids in order 3 girls in a row and 3 boys (one still in my belly) in a row. They play together so well. The boys play with the trucks or cars of any sort while the girls are running around playing with dolls and such.
We later went to my parents house. Uncle Greg, Aunt Danna and all the cousins were there as well as Danna's parents, Grandpa John, Grandma Penny, Aunt Shannon & Matt, and Grandpa Jim. So we had a pretty packed house. My parents made most of the food. Like we do every year, we had way too much food. My parents will be having leftovers for several days! The boys were so funny. Jack and Davis hung around the chip and dip part of the table for a long time chowing down on their chips dipped in the veggie dip. They next moved to the fruit. Jack especially liked the red grapes. Jim said that he saw Jack take a bite of a green grape, spit it out and then put it on Grandpa John's plate. How funny. The girls pretty much ate all the blackberries & raspberries. Then they went and played Ring around the Rosie. After they were done with that they were having fun jumping off my parents fireplace. We had a great time. After all that fun, we went to Grandpa Jim's house and spent the night so that Santa could visit us there.
Emma slept in the bed with us and woke up at 6:40. Jack slept with Grandpa and did not wake up until 8am. Bobby and I went downstairs with Emma to check out what Santa brought her. She was so excited that she got so much princess stuff (with the pink dress of course!). Her new favorite color is PINK! Anything and everything pink. Jack got up and immediately saw his Mac Truck that Santa brought him. He also got a GeoTrax train track. We still have not put it together though. It looks pretty fun! We spent most of the day at Grandpa Jim's then went to my parents house for dinner. It was a beautiful day outside. The kids even got to go outside and swing on the swing set. We again had way too much food!
We had a wonderful Christmas and are so thankful for all of our family!
Emma's favorite presents were her Princess Aurora baby doll and her Barbie computer that she got from her Aunt Marilyn. Jack's favorite toys were his Mac Truck and the CAT tractor that he got from Mimi and Pa.
