Christmas with family
After opening presents at our house, we headed to Grams’s house to keep celebrating. First we ate breakfast, then it was time to open some more presents. As youngest, Charlie of course went first.

And he got a bit of snuggling time with Grams.

These are American Girl pajamas, and the girls got matching sets for their dolls.

A present so big it needed a bag.

Jen made Charlie a dump truck pillow.

Charlie immediately needed to test out the pillow.

Jen says Yay for a tray.

Jen made Grams tea towels. They have a Southern theme, including a fleur-de-lis.

Charlie is studying this elephant ball popper intently.

Leah was very excited about these Princess Ponies books, especially since they each include a charm for a bracelet.

Grammy had quite the haul of Christmas presents as well.


Molly got the entire set of The Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan. She’s already read the entire Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and The Heroes of Olympus> series by him, so she was excited to read this new series. She was so excited that she started reading in the middle of opening presents, no longer interested in what she might get.

Jen created an LSU-themed fleur-de-lis for this insulated tumbler for Aunt EA.

Sometimes, the box is the most fun toy - even for the oldest of the children.

Charlie came to visit Molly in her box.

It was so much fun to celebrate with everyone.
