Christmas Day – Part 1

We woke up bright and early Christmas Day and headed over to my (Jamie) parent’s house for gifts and breakfast.  We actually had to wake all 3 babies up again this year.  I can see that changing over the next year or so. 

Here are a few photos from our morning festivities…

Caleb Davis had the best reaction to one of his gifts.

We spent the rest of the morning enjoying a yummy breakfast with my grandparents and uncle while everyone played with their new toys and struggled to open all the boxes.  One question:  Why do all the boxes (especially toys) have to be so darn hard to open?

After dinner we headed back to Josh’s parent’s house.  Here are a few photos right before bedtime on Christmas Eve.

Nathan James adored this cute little snowman family that was at my parent’s house.  They have had it for a few years now (Hallmark I think) and I must admit that it is quite cute the 1st 50 times they sing and dance.  The only real problem is that they are in major need of a volume button.  They only have 1 “key” and it is very loud.  These photos were taken during our Christmas Eve dinner at Poppy and Nana’s house.  We all found it quite funny when we arrived there the next morning and the batteries has mysteriously been taken out of them.  Santa perhaps?

Christmas Eve – Part 2

Now we are headed over to Jamie’s parents for Christmas Eve dinner.  It has become a tradition for us to spend this time with my grandmother while we all enjoy a yummy spaghetti dinner.  Here are a few photos from the evening…
