Christmas - Part 1

Our Bookidis cousins were here for a long visit at Christmas and we spent the entire time all together at Opa and Nana's house.  It was an awesome holiday.  The kids all played really well together and we had tons of opportunities to play outside in the nice weather.  We took so many pictures that I'm breaking the holiday up into two posts.  Part 1 is all about Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Owen, Kate, and Claire made some candy cane cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.

Matching PJs on, stockings out, getting ready for Santa!

"The Night Before Christmas" before bed.  Owen couldn't get enough of this story at Christmas time.  He wanted to read it forever after Christmas.

Sneaking peaks downstairs.  They were supposed to be in bed, but they were watching for Santa!

Owen's stocking and his gifts from Santa.

On Christmas morning, the kids played and played with all of the toys, paying little attention to whose gift was whose.  Claire loved Owen's animals and Owen had fun in the fluffy high heels the girls got from Chad's parents.

Baby Cora spent the morning snuggling in Opa's lap.

Merry Christmas to all!
