Christmas: Rounds 2-6 CONTINUED....

So, now it was the Sunday after Christmas...Boxing Day, I guess. We were off to Dickiedoo and Noonie's house for, yep, more presents and some lunch!

The kids knew exactly what do to by now!

We had a nice visit with Dickiedoo and Noonie and the kids had fun playing. We were so lucky to see all (five) of the great-grandparents this Christmas too! The kids were getting pretty tired at this point though; as we were getting into the car to go back to GraGra's house to nap, Gillian kept crying "No, no GraGra house! OWN house! OWN house!" Oh, honey, we all feel that way after the holidays! (She did feel better after a good nap though)

We had arranged our festivities to have a break on Sunday night and so we were all settled into GraGra and Papa Greg's house for the evening. The kids were snacking and watching a movie and just hanging out.

Colin and Papa Greg were just chillin' and Papa was "meeping" Colin's nose.

After Gillian was sufficiently awake after nap, it was time to open some presents from GraGra and Papa Greg. Gillian was quite helpful in handing out the gifts!

Most excitingly, Colin and Gillian got new towels! We were still using their hooded baby towels and they are just not big enough anymore! GraGra solved that with some new, bigger towels. Gillian modeled them for us!

Sunday night we all took it easy and got a good night's sleep. Monday morning we lazed about and then tried out our new snow boots by taking a walk down over the hill to Great-Grandma's house.

Grandma was happy to see us and the kids enjoyed checking out her computer and running around her living room!

On Monday night we headed back over to Grammy and Papa Frank's house for Christmas with the Keisters! Daddy, sadly, reports that there are not any "decent" pictures from that celebration! But, rest assured, the kids had fun playing with Joe and chatting with Jess! Gillian also enjoyed devouring her pizza!

The next morning, we got up bright and early, pack our (very, very, very) full car and headed for home! I think we were all very happy to be home, sleep in our OWN beds, and pet our Momo and WeeWee! It was a fantastic, fun holiday! Full of magic, family, and memories!
