Christmas with Mandy's Side of the Family

We celebrated with my side of the family the Saturday before Christmas.  We had a yummy brunch and then read the Christmas story together.  Every year my mom wraps up baby Jesus and lets one of the kids open him up and put him in the manger.  This year it was Tyson's turn.  He knew what to do....and did pretty good putting him in the manager.

 

Remote controlled car that Caleb was very excited about! 

 

 

They got Weston a remote controlled helicopter.  He loves it and honestly so does his mom and dad.  Sadly the battery didn't last long and it won't even keep a charge now :(  We have had some fun flying it around the living room. 

 

Caleb's new pj's 

 

And the best gift of all.....automatic card shuffler from Pops! 

We all got Melody and Greg a new (deeper and bigger) kitchen sink.  She has a really shallow one and because of her cake business uses it nonstop.  So she was excited and for once actually surprised! 

 

All the kids....girls got strollers for their baby dolls :) 

That night we celebrated with my extended family on my dad's side.  We haven't been able to go to that in a long time.  It was really great just to see and be with everyone.   

These are my cousins that have identical twin boys that just turned 2 AND identical twin girls that just turned 1!!!!  They are all so cute but I just can't even imagine. 

 

 

 

 

Great time with my family....always great to all be together with them.
