Christmas in S'ville

We went down to my parents on Christmas Eve and spent a few days there with the family. The kids had a great time visiting with their cousins and opening gifts. On Christmas morning, Whitney and the kids came over. We were still eating breakfast so the twins opened stockings and gifts in their PJs. We tried to get a few group shots, but Abby was going to have no part of it. We even bribed her with a giant snow globe, but she just took that and ran off on her own. Jake, Noah and Addy however, did great!

Jake was really into Noah this trip and wanted to do everything he did. Noah was fantastic and would set Jake up with his own train and tracks (or what ever he was doing at the moment) so Jake could play along side him without messing up his stuff. They were so cute together! Of course I didn't get any pics of this so you'll have to trust me that they were cute!
After stockings, we opened our gifts. Addy played "Santa"this year and helped pass out all the gifts to everyone. The twins got really anxious waiting for stuff to do and Jake really just wanted to go back and play with his train and hot wheels.
We finally opened everything and saved the big gifts for last. This year, my parents focused on riding toys for the kids. Noah and Jake got power wheels and the girls got tricycles. Everyone had a blast playing with the toys and we spent the rest of the morning outside playing.
Noah was the only designated driver for the Jeep so he gave rides to all. Jake liked it (at least I think he did, he never smiled, but wanted to ride again). Abby decided to get out as soon as Noah hit the gas!
