Christmas with Mimi and Pawpaw

We usually do our Christmas with Mimi and Pawpaw on Christmas night but we had a change of plans with our White Christmas.  We waited until Sunday and went over in the afternoon.  It was a gorgeous drive over with all of the snow.  The roads were in pretty good condition but we just took our time, listened to Christmas music and enjoyed the scenery.  We dressed in play clothes to play outside in the snow with the cousins.  We couldn't play outside very long because it was freeeeezing!  The kids loved it and even managed to get Mimi with several snowballs.  Then we went inside, changed into dry clothes and had our Christmas dinner.  We always have appetizers for dinner.  Everyone loves the food.  Meatballs, chicken nuggets, ham, dips and lots of desserts!!!  Finally, we opened the gifts.  I thought poor Nathan and Noah would never survive waiting for gifts.  They found their present wrapped in Toy Story paper when we first walked in.  They just kept going back and poking at the paper all day.  We had a great night and everyone got just what they wanted. The kids loved their toys of course.

And... they got her with a little help from Nathan or Noah!

Tonya should know better than to trust Bobby behind her.

Little man liked his backpack.

She just looks so grown up with no bow in her hair.

I love Nathan's expression.  They love their Toy Story toys.
