Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

This year Kari and her family are home to join us for the holiday, it's always so much fun when they are home during this time.  It makes for a full house but I wouldn't have it any other way.

We bought the boys Kindle Fires for Christmas and being that these will be their first official electronic devices, I am super duper excited to see their reactions.

They were shocked!  Very, very excited and very, very shocked.  It was a great surprise, that I cleared with their parents, and I was so thrilled to be able to give them a gift that they would LOVE.

We typically have the kids open their gifts first, they then run off to play while the grown ups take turns opening gifts.  This can sometimes take a few hours, depending on how distracted everyone gets.  It's fun to go slow and to see what everyone gets.

Kimmy bought Hannah a kid size sewing machine and they spent a good part of the afternoon learning how to use it.  Hannah loves sewing at grandma Judy's.  It definitely doesn't sew as good as a real one and the stitches are pretty loose but she sure had fun with it!
