Christmas Eve was at my Mom's house....AKA GraGra and Papa Greg's house. Uncle Willis and Uncle Stevie cooked up a mighty (albeit a little tardy) dinner for all of us:
Uncle Stevie and some asparagus:
Uncle Willis and some more asparagus (we did eat more than asparagus) and Gillian eyeballing the asparagus.
The kiddos opened presents from Uncle Stevie and Aunt Emily and Uncle Willis and Leah:
Then they headed to bed. Then it was gift exchange time for the grown-ups....and Milo.
He doesn't know he's not a lap dog.
Christmas morning brought stockings at GraGra's house. The highlight of which was PICKLES!
Oh, and the first aid kit!
Colin's favorite was this light-up whirlygig thing. No idea what you'd call it!
After getting cleaned up and dressed up, we were off to Grammy and Papa Frank's house for lunch!
A note on G's dress. The minute she saw me get it out, she yelled "ON!" and she HAD to get dressed right then! She spun and fluffed and twirled and just loved that dress all day long! It was a bit big on her, and her (classy) white t-shirt poked out all day long, but she just loved being dressed up and in her SPARKLE shoes all day. What a girl!
Aunt Mercedes and Uncle D were kind enough to get some pots and dishes to go with our new kitchen! Yay, we can cook now!
Colin was kind enough to brew Uncle D a cup of coffee with the brand new coffee pot Uncle D had given him! (Colin just LOVES to make coffee, real coffee, pretend coffee, he doesn't care! I hope he can barista his way through college, actually!)
Gillian was pretty excited to get ANOTHER party dress from a friend of Grammy's! Hmm, now we need a party!
Before lunch was served, we took another peek at the trains Papa Frank has been working on in the basement!
After a (very yummy) lunch, it was back to GraGra's to grab a nap and then on to Great-Grandma Smith's house for ANOTHER Christmas celebration.
Yep, another one!
With more presents!
Even for Matthew....
I'm not even sure I remember what was in that box that was so interesting? Coffee thermometers, maybe?
Phew, ok, that might be enough Christmases for now. More later...yes. MORE.

I started laughing as soon as I saw the title of your post in my reader because I totally understand the many rounds of Christmas. I was Christmassed out by the last two. Where do you put all their stuff?? We are trying to figure this out.
Lea, I am so impressed that you kept up with posting over Christmas!!! And I am hysterical over the pickles in the stocking and Gillian's dress is bee-yoo-tiful. But seriously the best picture ever is her holding the first aid kit -- bc is that COLD HARD CASH she has in her other hand???!!!! And she is making this "OOOOOOH" face at the first aid kit?!?!!! LOL....
Ashley: If I figure out some sort of way to bend time and space, I'll let you know. Otherwise, we are s.o.l and out of ROOM!
Marie: It's easy to keep up with blogging when Daddy's home! Plus, he does all the pictures, so that makes it easier! And, that is money....but it's play money!!!
