Christmas 2016 was great! We actually weren't super busy in December, so it was a bit more relaxed. The girls went up a little early to spend time with cousins, so Jason and I had some prep time.

The first day of our Christmas festivities found us at my parent's! We headed up today to celebrate Tiffany's birthday and then Christmas Eve tomorrow night. It's always a good time at Mom and Dad's, and this year did not disappoint!
Mom wrapped up a gift over and over and then had the kids play a dice game to see who won it. They had to roll dice until they got doubles and then had to put on a hat and gloves and start tearing away at the package. It was a hoot! Just when one kiddo would get all suited up, another would roll doubles and rip the hat and gloves right off of them! In the end, Taylor won the game. She was a sweet winner though, and decided to keep the gift at Grandma's (it was a game), so that everyone could play with it!
Of course, no December 23rd is complete without a birthday celebration for Tiffany!!! Happy 8th birthday!!!
We had a great time at my parent's on Christmas Eve. The kids played games, put on plays, decorated the garage, ate lots of food and candy, and most importantly, opened lots of presents! The adults had fun, too...there is just nothing like seeing Christmas through the eye of a child.

Dad made these trees for Mom and I thought they turned out pretty nicely.

Uncle Eric and Aunt Tai always get unique gifts. This year was a pinata filled with candy and a certificate for a day trip to Fair Oaks Dairy! The kids had a blast trying to open the pinata!
Present time!!!!

The kids ended the night with "Twas the Night Before Christmas" - absolutely adorable!

Christmas morning, Santa came and then we hosted Brad and Judi for Christmas brunch and lunch. My parents stopped later that night for a quick visit before heading to the Oppy Christmas. Once again, I didn't have that many pictures. Jason might have more on his phone to share.
