Merry Christmas!

Our family had a WONDERFUL Christmas.  We spent so much time with family, the kids were spoiled, we ate a ton of yummy food and just had a great time!

Parker finally is catching on about Christmas and Santa.  Now everyone he sees that has a white beard is called Santa.  

Christmas Eve:
We spent Christmas Eve with the Benson's and their extended family.  We ate, sang and enjoyed socializing.

Then the kids got to open ONE present.  No surprise here, it was new pajamas and they loved them!

Christmas Day:
Lets see, the kids slept in until 8:45 (with the exception of Ella asking at 2 am if it was time)
I just love their reactions to all the gifts.  Parker had this face with all his presents, even a small pack of Altoids. 

Christmas day at the Alleys:
This was the one day that all of the Alleys were able to be together.  Even just for a couple hours.  I love my family.

 

After presents, games and more food, this kid was pooped.  Even in sleep, he would not let go of his new remote car from Grandma and Grandpa

 

 

 

The day after Christmas, we had the Alleys (part of them) over for a ham dinner and games.  However, I apparently did not get my camera out for this party :(

Christmas Party at the Bensons:
Two days after Christmas we had our annual Benson Christmas Party.  We did more presents, more food and more games.

The party did not stop here!  We had cousin sleep overs for the next week, and then a BIG New Years Eve party with Grandma and Grandpa Benson.  We played games until 2 am.
