Our Christmas

So here is our Christmas in a nutshell....

The monday before Christmas we went over to my Dad's house and celebrated with him and his wife Tina. 
 Katie was a bit overwhelmed at all the presents but she soon got into the excitement and started opening gifts.
 She helped me unwrap my new sewing machine...yay!  (Another post to come soon of my adventures in sewing)
                                                       Rich showing off his new jacket.
              There were two big toys to put together, a little tikes car and a tinker bell kitchen. 

We had the rest of the week to relax and get ready for the four Christmases that followed Christmas weekend. 
 Katie and I decorated cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.
 We went to my Grandma's Christmas Eve night.  Katie was the center of attention and she soaked it up.  She got the hang of opening the gifts at Grandma's.

                                             Grandma Sue made some Christmas pajamas.

Christmas morning we enjoyed our family Christmas....we made homemade biscuits and gravy for breakfast and watched Katie unwrap all her gifts.

 Katie's two big presents from us were a tunnel......
 and a block table.
I forgot to bring the camera to Rich's parents and to my Grandmother's so no pictures of those two trips.  We went to Rich's parents and ate a turkey dinner and opened presents. 
We went to my Grandmother's on the day after Christmas.  My cousin was in from California and she stayed with our grandparents Christmas night so it was great to get to visit with her.  Katie loved sitting on her lap and playing with her ipad. 
With 5 Christmases to get through it was a very busy week but we enjoyed all the time we got to spend with our family.
