Christmas 2015

Merry Christmas!

Alex woke up early, as is his way, but was very nice and waited for his brother and sister to join him in opening up stocking presents.

Santa took note of the colder than normal weather and made sure everyone would have warm ears.

After opening stockings, we had hot from the oven cinnamon rolls with left over cookie frosting. There can never be too much cream cheese frosting on a cinnamon roll, even if it is green.

 There was a lot of excitement during present opening.

 Gma made shark slippers!

 And wrapping paper was flying all over.

Later in the day, we all played with our gifts. I used my new cast iron skillet to make an apple Dutch baby. It was so yummy.

 Mady made sure Anna's hair matched hers in messiness.

Alex and Zachy drove their remote control cars on the perimeter trail at CG Island. Mady brought her remote control car along too, but we didn't want hers to drive outside. We spent some time inside Phil's office building and everyone drove around there, where the straight stretches were longer than at home.

We decided to postpone our Christmas dinner until Sunday and just have snacks for dinner. And even though Zachy is wearing shorts, and Alex short sleeves, it was quite chilly. Those boys just don't seem to feel the cold.

It was a wonderful Christmas filled with fun and happiness.

**Flash forward to Sunday, and our delicious Christmas dinner. Mady enjoyed more than this picture might indicate.

We love all of the wonderful Christmas cards and letters. We didn't quite get them all up for this picture.
