This Christmas was with my mom, stepdad, stepdad’s parents, brothers and sister-in-law. Here’s a look at all the presents under the tree! Which is impressive since we don’t do adult gifts. (My mom still breaks the rules and gets everyone a little something!)

Before we ate and opened gifts, my brother, Charlie, got an iPad for Christmas and spent time playing with that. He’s 15, so he isn’t the most talkative. 🙂

My mom, Adam and Katie spent time in the playroom with the girls.

And Chuck and Dave cooked!

After we ate, Dave’s parents showed up and we opened gifts. My goodness were my girls spoiled! Maddie had fun opening gifts and brought everything to my brother to get out of the packaging. It was cute!

The living room was a disaster, but Maddie had so much fun! Plus, my mom got her cleaning stuff, so she helped clean up. 🙂

Her two favorite toys had to be Elmo and a harmonica. I can’t stand harmonicas, but my mom didn’t know this. The noise just bothers me in my soul! Chuck wants to give it to her in bed so she plays a sad harmonica song in her crib in the morning. 🙂

She loved the harmonica…and so did Elmo! She liked making Elmo play it and started blowing when it was in Elmo’s mouth…to show him how to do it. 🙂

Dannie had a great time watching all the commotion! Christmas will be so fun next year with the two of them opening gifts!

Finally, here’s a little family photo. 🙂

…only one more Xmas to go. 🙂
