We had our final Christmas celebration last week while Chuck’s mom was back in town from Florida. We had a great time…

Our niece, Amira, was handing out presents.

i-QHDHvwD-XL

Maddie sat with all her presents and had a blast opening them!

i-tGLVSpT-XL

i-Rcq3BTX-XL

Amira got a bunch of art stuff.

i-8KjqCks-XL

Her face cracks me up in this picture!

i-d66L9DS-XL

Maddie and Dannie playing with one of Dannie’s presents.

i-Ffs8FXv-XL

Awe…family photo.

i-tBQMcTK-XL

Dannie was throwing a tantrum while Chuck was trying to help Maddie with a present.

i-cDf5VG4-XL

A view of the card table houses that Linda made Maddie and Amira.

i-3rWgfmm-XL

The house has been a huge hit around here. The girls play in it all the time and Linda’s crafting abilities always amaze me!

i-fcmhWtq-XL

i-brGc4dK-XL

Paige having some fun with Dannie. Being upside down is one of Dannie’s favorite things.

i-mGV79mB-XL

Paige and Linda are so crafty. They always made the most amazing presents.

Here is a color matching board using paint chips, a canvas and clothespins.

i-P6smQmD-XL

A memory game using note cards and a bunch of family photos.

i-Dr3KsvV-XL

Little dolls for matching colors. And yes, Linda hand painted these! (There’s a pink one, too, but Maddie has claimed that one for herself.)

i-WCNWd3Z-XL

i-6mgDsh4-XL

Paige made a “Guess Who” game for Dannie with family photos.

i-6t4PJjq-XL

i-PmZK2dx-XL

Linda made some baby baskets for the girls. She has a couple of them at her house for the girls to play with when they come over. They come with a matching pillow and blanket!

i-4L9V6Qz-XL

i-TpTT4f4-XL

Paige made a wipes container and a doll diaper. So stinking cute…no pun intended. Smile

i-XZLkHGx-XL

Linda also made Paige and I picnic blankets and made Brian and Chuck frames pictures using all of our names with scrabble pieces. Genius! (Of course I forgot to take pictures of these two things.)

We also had a tasty lunch. Chuck made some veggie lasagna with half of it the regular (meaty) way. Paige brought bread and fruit and Linda made pumpkin and apple pies. The food was so good!

We had a fabulous Christmas this year. I hope yours was wonderful, too!
