We started out our Christmas activities by going to Carver on Christmas Eve. This is the day that we celebrate Christmas with Joe's grandma, aunts, uncle, and cousins on his moms side. Here are the few pictures I got that night.
Nathan LOVED playing with the wrapping paper!
Kaylee opening her gifts
Natalie opening her gifts!
Me and Lady Lily!! She wanted to play with the camera.
After Carver we went home and got everyone to bed so Santa could come. Kaylee helped be Santa this year. She knows the secret.
That night was a rough night of sleep for everyone. Between Nathan and Lily, I was up every 1/2 hour - hour with a fussing baby. To top it off, I couldnt easily fall back to sleep because Natalie and Kaylee decided it wasnt a good night for them to stay asleep in their beds. I caved around 5:30am and just headed out to the living room to sit and wait for everyone to come out of their beds.
Nan and Kaylee in Kaylee's bed (Nan on the left -couldnt get her face in this shot and Kaylee on the right)
There is Nan's face :o)
I think the first one up was Kaylee around 7:00, then Lily followed, and Nathan and Joe, then Natalie and everyone was up around 7:30!
We opened the presents here at home right away. First the kids got to go through their stockings (that need to have their names put on them).
Our beautiful babies on Christmas morning!!
Now it was time to open presents!!!!
Nan opened her SD card first. I asked her what that was for and she said "I can stick it in my puter" (computer)

After we opened the gifts at home, we headed up to Joe's parents house to open gifts there.

After we opened gifts there, we headed to Belle Plaine to spend Christmas day with my entire family!! Cousins, aunts, uncles, etc! Since my grandpa passed away everyone from out of state flew in on Christmas day and we had Christmas dinner at my parents house.
