Christmas-the short version

This Christmas was a very different year than every other one we've had. Instead of running around like crazy, we stayed home and relaxed for most of the day. It was pretty nice. We even fit in some naps, which for this pregnant mommy is nice. :) After hanging out and relaxing at our house for most of the day, we went over to Jeremy's parents house for some games. We are a big game playing family and so we always get new games for Christmas that we get to try out. While we missed family that is away from us, we still had a great Christmas this year. We hope everyone else did too.

Christmas Eve always brings new jammies. Grant doesn't seem like he likes his too much, but he was just tired and ready to get to bed so Santa could come. Love that kids pouty face. :)

Grant and Mikkele with Grant's Santa stuff.


Mikkele trying out her new sandwich maker that Santa brought her. Apparently her mom won't make her grilled cheese whenever she wants one (which is all the time) so Santa brought her a sandwich maker and a children's recipe book so she could start learning how to cook. It's never too early to learn, right.

Grant and Mikkele reading the book "That's not my car" that Mikkele gave him for Christmas. It's a touchy feely book that's great for sensory play. His smiley face says he likes it.

Cute posts. I'm so behind in the blogging world. Glad your Christmas got to be a little more "slow paced". That's always good. And I loved your Texas post. BUT I was hoping to see a picture of your parents house dang it!
