Christmas 2013 was a success!
Nothing beats a day of giving gifts, eating yummy food, watching my kids get excited, watching them give their stuff to others, and having everyone all in one room without having anything else to do, or any calls to make.
Again — it was a success!
The Pips was in a nap at this point, but this is first thing in the morning (9:00am).
After I snapped this pic, they opened up their stockings — beautifully assembled every year by Auggie! Then we all had a delish breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen. And finally it was time to do Christmas. I think we were ready around 10:30. How awesome is that lazy morning.
Check out what they got this year…
The slug bug for Dash.
The pink one for Navy.
And the 2 person Jeep for Scout and the Pips!
They rode those things until we made them come in!
They were all so excited, and came and gave me thank you hugs over and over.
Navy got a doll head with real hair, along with everything needed to go with it.
Including: make up, curlers, hairspray, a real hair dryer, bobby pins, clips, etc.
She came back an hour later with her twin….beauty mark in the hair line and all!
Every time Dash got something, he went from person to person to share it, or to show it by saying “Yook…Yook at what I got”!
Micah gave NayNay her Christmas Eve gift (She was at John’s house the night before) — a pass to the Sundance Film Festival!
Obviously that was a major hit!
The Pips was passed around from arms to arms and happy as a little clam wherever she went.
This ninja was in stealth mode while tossing Navy around.
Scout was stoked on his new running shoes that matched Micah and Dash!
Dash and Bella gave this CTR trio to NayNay!
Navy “needed a new umbrella”!
Filthy-faced Dash got into Navy’s make up with some help!
Then all of the cousins sat down for an awesome gift.
But first they had to put a puzzle together to find out what it was.
I finally had to jump in because it was quite the puzzle!
But it ended up saying that we were all going to go to Cancun for Spring Break!
Yippee!
A-MAZ-ING!
Navy started hugging everyone she was so excited!
And Scout just stood there in a daze as he figured it all out.
When he did, he was excited as Navy.
How sweet is that!
There were hugs all around!

Throughout the day I made cheese plates for everyone, there were lots of dirty diet Cokes, some BLT’s and a delicious dinner by Nonnie.
Never did I realize that Christmas had so much behind the scenes until I was a mother.
Nonnie — you make our day SO fun, and we applaud you for everything!
Thanks for yet another amazing Christmas!

And let’s not forget about my amazing gift from the Shmickity Dickity Dock!
Here are some of the many things I am getting from him throughout the year…
Eat your heart everyone seeing this!
And for him — a day of wakeboarding lessons alongside Bry and Cade!

And yes, we DID talk to Jake, and he is doing great!
Merry Christmas ‘13!
