On Christmas Eve morning we headed to Nani and Poppa's for our Christmas celebration with the delaMontaigne family. We celebrated in the morning on Christmas Eve since this was the only time that we could all be together as Bri and Hollie were heading to her parents on Christmas Day and the Ozecks were heading back to Coronado to be with Dave's parents on Christmas Eve night and Christmas morning. It worked out well though and we had a great celebration!
A quick photo op with our crew before leaving.
We had a delicious brunch at Nani's -here is the kid's table!
Soon enough Finn will be at the kid table, too, but for now he has plenty of help during mealtime!
So fun to have all of the cousins together to celebrate Christmas!!
And, a silly one!
Charlotte and Poppa getting ready for the festivities to begin!
For the past 8 years (at least we think 8 but it could be longer!) my mom has been giving us all coordinating pajamas for Christmas. For the past few years she has threatened to stop the tradition since our pajama drawers are overflowing but it is something that we all (or most of us at least!) look forward to and has been so fun!
Julia was loving on her pajamas!!
Charlotte was excited to get her first pair!
We all put the pajamas on immediately to get a picture!!
Mr. George came over to enjoy the festivities with us and he was kind enough to bring gifts for all of the kids.
Ella was beyond excited when she opened the Frozen calendar from him!!
After opening gifts from Mr. George we began the gift card game. Nani started this game a few years ago and it has been fun to watch it grow over the years. I am pretty sure that this was the first year that the kids were involved and they were so excited! They even got into the stealing as Cole first picked a Toys R Us gift card and then Joseph stole it from him and then Syd ended up stealing it from Joseph. Although a bit disappointed to give up the Toys R Us gift card, he ended up with a Golden Spoon one which totally made up for it.
Everyone is anxiously awaiting the next gift card!! So much fun!
Love, love, love this family of ours! It was such a fun celebration and so fun to have all of us together!
