Christmas Day at Gran and Pop's House

We had a wonderful Christmas. Scroll down to see some pictures that we took at Gran and Pop's house.

Here Elliot poses with his guitar. 

Elliot was kicking out the jams...literally! 

I had to test Elliots guitar for "Rockability." It passed. 

Elliot rocks out for the camera. 

Nannie, Drew and Daddy smile for the camera as the Blessed Mother overlooks all. 

Look at Kate all snuggled up to Evan...I mean the Red Ranger.

Kim, Evan and Elliot tear into some presents as Dad takes video.

Drew says, "Merry Christmas Everyone!!"

After opening our presents, we ate a healthy breakfast of powdered donuts and chocolate milk. After saying the blessing we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. 

Drew's First Christmas

Drew was so happy this morning! He got a good night's sleep and was all smiles opening his presents.

Christmas Morning

Drew was still sleeping, in case you're wondering. 

Evan and King Kong vs. V. Rex

He said if he didn't get this he was, "going to die." 

Elliot and T-Rex Mountain

"My Favorite," he says! 

Christmas is Here!!!

Evan plays with his King Kong vs. V. Rex; Elliot plays with his T-Rex Mountain playset and Kim sorts through her Burt's Bees Head to Toe Starter Kit.

Cheer Up Elliot

Elliot was "too grumpy" Friday morning, so Evan drew this picture to cheer him up! 

Our Nativity Scene

Here is our Nativity Scene for this year. Grandma Denton bought us the beautiful Fontanini Stable, the Holy Famliy, the two shepherds, three sheep and the two cherubs for our Wedding gift. We decided a few years back to start a new tradition and that is to let the kids pick out a new Nativity piece each year during Advent. The first year Evan chose the Ox (laying in front of St. Joseph.) Last year Evan and Elliot picked the Camel (looking over Mary's shoulder.) This year they agreed on the Donkey (sitting behind St. Joseph.)

At this rate it would take several years to get some very important pieces, such as the wise men...primarily because the boys only seem to be interested in all the ANIMALS that were there that night so many years ago. So, I think after Christmas day passes, we will see about buying the three wise men and place them in our Nativity scene on Epiphany (January 6.) I know, I know, technically, Mary and Joseph were not in the Stable once the wise men found them and there is no mention of exactly three wise men, but hey, ya'll get the idea!! 

Mommy and Drew

Look how Drew and Kim's hair are the exact same color! It almost look like Drew's hair is super long and sticking up in the back!! 

Nanou and Drew

Here's one that I know Gina will love...her and Drew-bear grinning for daddy.
