Christmas Day

We spent Christmas Day at home joined by my parents. We opened our presents, stopped for brunch, and the opened presents to/from my parents.

Christmas Partying - Part III

For some reason, all my Christmas Eve pictures are backwards.  Oh well.

Santa came and put out stocking and presents!


Table set for Christmas brunch.  Notice Sierra's new Elmo fork and spoon from Grammy and Gramps.



Normally on Christmas Eve, the kids open new Christmas jammies.  But everyone already had a pair of Christmas jammies and way too many pairs of other pajamas to justify buying more.  So instead, they got to open one joint present, which was a DVD, popcorn, and candy.



We went to my Great Aunt and Uncle's house for Christmas Eve lunch. Sierra took a nice nap after lunch then opened her presents.

Christmas Partying - Part II

On Sunday, we dressed up in our Christmas outfits and headed to church.

Afterwards we went to my parents' house for another party with my mom's family.  I think these two might be too tall for the kids' table.

After we got home, the girls changed into jammies and colored and watched a movie.

Christmas Partying - Part I

As we usually do, we celebrate Christmas approximately 27 times before the actual day.  We already had a Christmas party at school and opened presents with Molly and Nick.  Then, on Saturday, we went down to Grandma's house with my mom's family.
