Christmas Day

Our Christmas morning started about 7:30, when Des, Gabe and the kids came over for breakfast.  Biscuits and gravy, a tradition.

Then it was on to the stockings and gifts.  Rielee was happy to get the All Glammed Up doll head she wanted.  Parker is holding the speed bag he asked for, Macee is wearing a new scarf while Gabe scratches a losing lotto ticket, which also seems to be a tradition, unfortunately...

Then, about 10, we jumped in the car to head to Camas to exchange gifts with Charb, Kelly, Lexi, Luke, Ava and Harper.  The twins both had colds, but were excited to open their gifts, with lots of trips to the Kleenex box in between.  The first thing Harper told me was that Santa had left a mess of cookie crumbs when he ate the cookies they had left out for him, and that the reindeer also left a mess outside when they ate the carrots.

Luke is working on removing the duct tape from a gift box,  Harper ripping into a gift and Ava going to Papa for a nose wiping.  Luke was happy to find a gift certificate in the box after all that work.

 

Harper liked the jewelry she got in her stocking, except that she didn't get rings with her jewelry, just bracelets. After awhile, Ava decided to share some of her rings with Harper though.

   Lexi playing with the Hulk Hands and mask that Charb got for Harper.   It was pretty funny when  Harper put the Hulk hands on and walked over to her baby that was sitting in a toy highchair and socked her right in the nose!  The kids were also excited for us to meet their newest family member, Dexter, he is really a cute little dog and so mellow.

In the evening we were invited over to the Gourde's for a piece of pie and a game of 31, it came down to Macee and Des and Macee won.
We had a wonderful Christmas!
