Our after Christmas day festivities start with Christmas with my parents on Friday. We started around 1pm as Matt had to work that day, and ended that night late. We like to make this an all day afair as we like to take our time opening presents, and then mom makes a delicious dinner for all to enjoy. It is the one time during the year that she gets to use her dinning room table, so we all love that!!! My adorable nephew Bode was the first to start as he is the youngest! Here he is opening some presents from us. What better way to start eating table food then with a camo plate set!
Then we got him a toy bucket with his name on it from the Lititz Craft fair. My kids have these buckets and they are great. Not just for toys but for little boys named Bode too!!! hahahaha
Here he is helping Daddy to put together his new rocking horse.
Matt and Mason posing for the camera
Presents from Nanny and Pappy to Makayla
A new portable DVD player
Presents to Mason
and to Matthew
Mason's new camo coat from his Aunt Christy and Uncle Mike. Goes perfect with his new bow and now he wears it ALL THE TIME!
Bode was excited to help Matthew with his presents.
A new PSU blanket made by Nanny
This year both of the boys got new bikes from my parents, as did Nanny from us kids. Now they can all ride together!!! We had to go try them out that night and they did great!
Matt trying on his new camo gear from my parents. He is just like my sister in law, Christy has to try everything on. Unfortunately my camera died so I don't have a picture of her but it was great watching these two try their new stuff on IMMEDIATELY! It's a tradition for them :)
Finally our Christmas holiday ends at my Nana's Christmas on Saturday. My cousin came in from Ohio, and my aunt and uncle from Florida. We had a great time eating, exchanging presents, and of course our tradition of playing games!!!! Makayla wanting a picture with Bode although he doesn't want to sit that still. Oh well, she made him anyway!!
All the kids! L to R: Sage, Makayla, Mason, Matthew, Brandon, Ryan
