Here are the cousins in their Christmas jammies that Grandma Jane bought them... don't they all look so festive?!
On Christmas Eve night, Quinn and Sullivan were so curious how this Santa thing was going to work out. Would he find them? Would he leave the presents upstairs or downstairs? Our oldest child had a difficult time sleeping that night... even waking up to wonder when and if Santa had been there yet. Here are the littles trying to sleep... (blurry picture)
Judson and Crew and Sullivan were having races down the stairs on their bellies one evening. They were laughing and carrying on and having the best of times. That is until one unnamed child got a carpet burn from the said fun she was having.... poor her!
Elsa tried to get in on the action too....Quinn not so much.
Many hours were spent playing with new trucks, tractors and the biggest toy combine I have ever seen...
Elsa got a new set of high heel shoes and crowns for Christmas. But shortly after opening them, it was hard to tell whose gift it was and who liked them the most. They were a HUGE hit with everyone, minus Quinn!
This picture will most likely come back to haunt Judson some day, but way too stinkin' cute not to include...
The cousins also took advantage of the snow that fell one morning by bundling up and heading outside to play...
Judson and Sullivan wrestling around. Two peas in a pod when it comes to rough housing...
Mer and Matt were kind enough to host my extended family's Christmas gathering at their house. The Merry family enjoyed some fabulous food, a white elephant exchange, and the best company around.
Here is my mom with her brothers, her cousin, and her uncle...
This is of the same crew with their spouses...
I LOVE, LOVE this picture. I don't know that we have any pictures in the history of ever of all 10 of us together.
That evening, we ordered pizza and while the Merry clan ate upstairs, the cousins chose to have a pizza picnic in the basement. They thought it was a hoot to eat on the floor in the basement!
Uncle Matt was so kind to play game upon game upon game with Quinn while we were back. Quinn most definitely found a match when it comes to loving games!
We also spent some great, great time with the Hansbergers, our dear friends and old neighbors. It was SO good to see them and catch up. There are some friendships in life that pick right up where they left off with no time lost, no matter how much time has passed. Jon, Jamie and their sweet girls fit in that category.
Not a lot of pictures were taken, sadly. But Quinn and Sullivan were asked to spend the night, which they were so excited about. They had the best of times...
Quinn and Gabby...
Sullivan and Livy....
I think I have one more post about Christmas to wrap things up and head into the new year with new happenings... stay tuned!
