The first Christmas celebration we had was with Erik's mom's side of the family on the Saturday before Christmas. We got up, ate breakfast, and then loaded up the car to head to their house. We arrived about noon, and ate lunch as soon as we got there. We all enjoyed several different soups, sandwiches, veggies, and many desserts. After lunch was cleaned up, the youngest kids opened presents. When they were doing opening presents, Grace took a nap for a while, while the older kids played and the adults got ready to play BINGO. The last couple years, the adults have brought $5 gifts and played BINGO instead of a gift exchange. Kyler actually enjoyed playing BINGO this year too and came home with some mini Reeces. :) When BINGO was over, we gathered everything up and got ready to head home, it was a nice day celebrating with Erik's mom's side of the family. I don't have any pictures from this celebration though.
Our next Christmas was with Erik's immediate family the Tuesday before Christmas. We headed over to Erik's parent's house as soon as the kids got up from their naps. Once everyone had arrived, we opened presents. The kids were really excited to open presents. :) After the kids were finished, the adults had their turn opening. When presents were finished, we enjoyed a yummy dinner and lots of desserts. The kids then played for a while before we loaded up to head home for the evening.
