In the past we have alternated between my family and Zak's family with Christmas and Christmas Eve. This year we spent Christmas Eve Day as though it was Christmas Day with my family. Will was beside himself with excitement to see what Santa Clause was going to bring! We got up, had breakfast and headed over to Mom and Dad's about 10:00 to start the Christmas festivities! As soon as we got there, I insisted on getting some family shots or else I knew it would never happen. I was pleased, but the kids not so much! :)
Pop holding all the kiddos...you can see how much they love being photographed!

Look at these two photogenic little monkeys! At this point they were completely DONE with all the pictures and I believe this face from Lucy is as if to say, Aunt Caroline can you please just let us play!

The kids big gifts from my parents were this lovely black truck that Dad ordered that came with the tool box and hard hat...Will was convinced from this point on that he was Bob the Builder! I wish I had taken a picture of Miss Lucy's new kitchen, but she got this awesome kitchen that took Dad 6 hours to put together! She absolutely loved it and for that matter, so did Will!
After not taking a single picture Thanksgiving day I was committed to getting lots of pictures of Christmas this year before we go from a family of 3 to a family of 4. Truly such a fun stage to see how much these toddlers get in to Christmas and Santa! Two months ago we were still working on the concept of Jesus's birthday being the real meaning of Christmas. But every time I would say, "Christmas is Jesus' birthday!" Will would respond by saying "No Jesus! Those are my presents!" Lord help me! We have a lot of teaching to do!
