the days after Christmas...

We had a great Christmas here in the land of red heads.  I'll find some of those pictures to post later.  But, the day after Christmas, I took the kids to Grammy Pammy's for more Christmas fun.  The car ride wasn't horrible, but it took us forever to finally get on the actual interstate.  Then, we had to stop to eat and stop again for the bathroom.  We got to Eric and Bitsy's in time for some unsupervised cousin play time and time for the grown folks to sit around and talk.  It was nice.  Joe was there and I hadn't seen him in a long time.  And, everyone got to see Kinley with her super-friendly personality (insert sarcasm here).

Ah, family.

Me, Joe and Bitsy.  Photobombed by some of Bitsy's kids.

The next day was Christmas at Grammy's.  We had a great lunch and then opened gifts from Grammy and Lanny.

Yummy!

We put the kids in the back bedroom while presents were put under the tree.  Liam wants you to know that he is holding a treasure map that he made.

Let the chaos insue!  Presents and wrapping paper were everywhere!


Liam loved his new shirt.  He wore it 2 days in a row.

These lucky boys got a Wii U from Lanny.


Kella, in her new pretty purple dress and crown.

Marcus, excited about bubble wrap.

Liam commandeered Jacob's microphone and sang to us.  Mostly a One Direction song that he knows.  And, then some Christmas music.  He loved this microphone so much, we ordered one for him that same day. (as I type this, Liam is reading right along.  It's pretty fun.)

Kella had to sing, too.

We chilled out and watched Babes in Toyland.
