Had to update miis before getting on the wii.
Even Tovi was ready for the New Year!
Hope you enjoyed your holidays and time to spend with those that matter most! And pray the new year is good to all of you!
A little cousin watching or playing before gifts.
The little ones didn't care about opening gifts, just open the first one and they were ready for play time.
Had to catch the sweet kiss!
Tickle tickle. The little ones were so patient waiting for presents!
Oh, Look Jules has out her camera! Shocker!
"I love these books!"
Grandpa got a cool present. Certificate from his memorial step and some old photos with his old buddies! He said he didn't think Mom could have surprised him again, but she did! I know the kids might not realize for sometime how lucky they are to have their Great Grandparents around, but I am so thankful for all of these moments with them!
Victoria and Colin enjoying a nice story! And had to include a pic of Andrew wearing his goofy head light! Unfortunately he doesn't care if he looks goofy!
Scott trying to figure out Noah's new toy!
Love Trevor looking up so lovingly at his Mama!
All the gifts are open or are they . . . . Okay grandkids lets find the last gift!
Each clue was addressed to one grandkid from the youngest to the oldest. Victoria and Colin didn't do much searching and Trevor and Tyler were more into the hunt than the gift, but all the kids LOVE a scavenger hunt.
I think we were getting too loud for Ty. And I am not sure he realized that the gift was in the bag! :)
What is it?
Santa was so good to all of us! And off everyone goes to play with their new toys!
Colin, I am not sure that that is yours! :) Jules says that he is always wanting his big brother's toys!
Oh, Jules with the camera!
Trevor has his thinking face on! Must be a hard pic to make! As I was watching the kids play, someone took my camera to capture some memories!
Look Victoria can put on her own socks! And it entertains her for long periods of time.
Hey Eli!
Catching the Princess playing!
And look its the camera thief! Which is why I presume that there are so many pics of the princess!
It was a great day of family time. It is nice to have the whole day to spend together. We had to transition out of Christmas mode into New Year's after dinner but we all managed!
Tovi was so excited to open stockings! :)
Tovi sat in his new dog bed to supervise the unwrapping! 
After playing with all our new stuff, it was time for making Christmas lunch. All the kids pitched in to help make the yummy feast!
We had a great day and then our Christmas day turned into Christmas Eve for our family Christmas. So stay tuned for more pics.
Yummy cookies and milk all gone! Santa really appreciated Eli sharing his favorite caramels!
Presents around the tree!
Stockings are hung (well when filled they are too heavy but you get the point)!
I couldn't resist taking a close up of these great ornaments that I have been working hard on getting finished for the boys - they are one of the gifts I am most excited about - and I think they turned out great. I made each boy their own set and thx to my friend Shanna for helping me with the hats! Well, I am going to bed - Noah says that he will be waking me up at 0630! We will see!
