Christmas 2016: Part 3 Our Family Christmas

Christmas Eve night, we were back home, just the four of us. :)

We unpacked from our previous family celebrations, turned on our Christmas tree, and got ready for Santa to visit. :)

The girls helped set out milk and cookies. :) And they wanted to put their lists out, too, just in case Santa needed a reminder. :)

Sunday morning, the girls slept in a bit - we didn't really get going until 8 or a little after. And they even wanted to do their showers and get dressed before doing stockings or presents. :)

Stocking time!

Camryn was slightly excited about her new Troll's toothbrush. Lol! :)

Lots of present fun followed! Trolls, My Little Pony, American Girl, books, coloring things...all were a part of their unwrapping fun. :)

I got a selfie stick..and a new Tervis coffee mug. :)

 LOL! :D Loved this....

Breakfast after all the fun.

The rest of the morning, we were able to just hang out and play.

We got Taylor's new "fitbit" set up.

Camryn played with her baby in the high chair, and got snuggly with her new Flip-A-Zoo

Around lunch time, we headed to Freedom Village to have Christmas brunch with Papa, Gaga, Uncle Scott, and Bapa.

The girls favorite part was probably the ice cream dessert. :)

Later that day, Camryn had enough Christmas for a bit, and crashed for a late afternoon nap. :)

Before bed, Taylor set up her new magnetic calendar.

Whew! It was a fun couple of Christmas-y days! And...Christmas break had just begun! :)

Christmas 2016: Part 2

We headed back from Battle Creek on Christmas Eve afternoon, and had a little time at home before heading to Christmas celebration number three at Grandma and Grandpa Slagh's house!

The tree and living room scene before all the present opening began.

A busy group, but lots of fun!

Christmas 2016: Part 1

School wrapped up on Thursday, and Friday morning the travel for Christmas celebrations began!

We headed to my mom's house right away Friday morning.
Cozy selfies...so happy to be on Christmas break!!

 PS this was Taylor's first Christmas picture...such a fast past 6 years..

Early afternoon, we met Jeff, Jen, Tess, and Abbey at dad's house for Christmas with the Parker side.
The girls were just a little excited about the presents and stockings. :) 

Dad made some homemade gifts for the girls - a marshmallow shooter, and a bow and arrow. :)

I got protein! And dad rebuilt our subwoofer - to be hooked up later :)

 Lots of fun for all the kids - old and young. ;-)

Cam was excited about a new FurReal friends kitty she got :-)

Back at Mem's house - Cam wanted her kitty to meet Speedo. :-)

Family dinner!

We let the kids open stockings on Friday evening, and then we opened gifts the next morning when Uncle Drake arrived.

Cuties in PJ's ready for bed!

The next morning - the cousins were up a little early, so cartoons in PJ's happened until the rest of the house woke up. :)

 Breakfast buddies :)

Ready to open presents!

 Lots of busy fun!
Taylor loved passing out all the presents. 

In the afternoon, we headed to our next Christmas celebration - part 2 to come! :)
