Christmas #1 – Sunday before Christmas

The Sunday before Christmas we got together with Cory’s immediate family at his brother’s house (which is conveniently located a couple blocks away from our house). Even though Cory’s parents are divorced, it’s so nice that we can all get together at one time for Christmas, especially for my niece & the boys.

We headed over to his house after naps and watched a little football before opening presents. The boys were definitely more into opening presents this year, and even more so than at their birthday last summer. They had fun & were amazed by what was inside every single present. Love this age! They got a chain saw, a hedge trimmer, guitars, clothes, footballs, a big monster truck, a big tractor, building bricks & Big Wheels (for next summer).

After all presents were unwrapped (and a few put together & played with), we had a yummy dinner of grilled turkey.

The boys & my niece dug into more of their gifts after dinner and we hung out until the boys’ bedtime.

It was a nice, relaxing afternoon and a great kick-off for Christmas.

Cheese!
