Merry Christmas...finally

This Christmas was especially good to the boys. They got so many cool toys and clothes. Thank you so much to everyone. We really appreciate it!

Christmas Eve was at Grandma and Grandpa Meyer's. It's always a great time and so much fun to watch the kids running around together and playing. Yes with 6 kids under 2.5 years old it can be a little hectic at times, but it's mostly super fun. I can't wait until they're just a little older and can really play together.

Kelly, bless her, got the boys all kinds of clothes and pajamas. Mom LOVED it...Logan...not so much...here's a video of him opening his clothes. You can see he's just like his father...doesn't like getting clothes for Christmas or birthdays.



Here's a few pictures.

Stella digging into her candy cane from Grandma.


As you can see it's a bit tight at Grandma's...but we wouldn't have it any other way! :-)


Carey and JovieJaylee...yeah I still suck and telling them apart.


Auntie Kelly and Uncle Dan


Cheese! He wouldn't put the hammer down until we started opening more gifts.


JovieJaylee showing me the beef jerky Uncle Dan got.


Cody Mouse modeling the hat he got from Uncle Bob and Aunt Carey. He likes it!


The mouse again modeling the hat from Grandma. So cute!


Mikey got in on the modeling action and is modeling his new coveralls.


Weston just chilled the whole time and was lovin' up on Auntie Nellie.


So stinkin' cute...even if he is frowning.


The four older cousin's ready for dinner!


Jovie and Jaylee in their cozy coupes. They really liked them.


Then after Grandma's we went home and opened gifts just us four. Brian and I had gotten Logan and Cody this Cars themed ball pit thing that they can play in. Julie has something similar at daycare and it's all Logan talks about, so I knew he would love it. He opened the balls first and was so excited he had to dump them all out on the ground. The video is below. Every gift he opened after that, the first thing he would say was, "More balls!". He really likes the balls...Cody on the other hand was not a fan of the balls (see picture below).

YEAH BALLS! I really really like BALLS!


See Cody didn't like the balls too much...yet...I'm sure he'll love them later.


:-)




We also got him a tool bench and some tools for Christmas. He liked those, but just not as much as the balls.



The Meyer's.


Then we went to Grandpa and Grandma Steffen's Christmas morning to open presents. Logan of course got more balls from Auntie Christie...see I told you he was spoiled this Christmas.

Mom and Logan.


HELP this jacket is swallowing me whole!


The mouse and Uncle Steven.


Logan and his balls. See he had to dump them all out again. Then he started stacking them in the empty boxes.

Jamie and the mouse.


Then lastly we hit up the Steffen family Christmas at my Aunt Debbie's house. Here's a few pictures from that Christmas. This year we thought it would be fun to go sledding, so everyone brought all their snow gear. Logan and I went outside and built a snowman before we went sledding. I'll save the sledding and snowman pictures/videos for another post as this one is getting rather long.

The card sharks.


Logan and his cool new Cars slippers from Auntie Sherri.


Random shot of the group...yes my Uncle Jarrett likes the Packers...


So this year we didn't draw names as an extended family, so my sister, brother Steven and cousin Crystal thought it would be funny to get each other gag gifts. Since Steven...eeerr Crystal...errr...Steven...well I'm not sure who exactly, but one of them almost burned down my sisters apartment when they went to visit her in July, they got Steven a fireman's costume. He had to model it of course! Dork! :-) And yes he got stuck in it and couldn't get out.


Mom and the mouse.


Go Pack Go!

Sistas!

More Balls...More balls... :-)

That is so funny - Nick got a tool bench and a contraption with a bunch of ball too - and he was so excited about the balls! Ball. Ball. Ball. That's all we hear--so I understand! Hope you all had a great Christmas!
