the 12 days of christmas...

we usually have christmas morning brunch at mom and dad's... but since christmas was on a sunday, and noone had to work on christmas eve, we started the festivites early! like always, we had a ton of fun! we ate too much, opened awesome presents, laughed a lot, cried a little, and took a lot of pictures. it was another blessed christmas celebration for sure!

to sum it all up... here's my version of the 12 days of christmas! sing along, it sounds better that way. let's start at the end of the song so this blog doesn't bore you all to death! :)

on the twenty fourth day of december, we had at bitsy and poppi's...

12 breakfast choices,

11 funky stockings,

10 kung fu zhu zhu pets, 

9 princess barbies,

8 monster trucks,

7 beaded bracelets,

6 handmade scarves,

5 SPOILED GRANDKIDS,

4 tired parents,

3 cups of coffee,

2 awesome grandparents,

and some xanex to keep us all sane! ;o)

*you think i'm kidding about that last part?!? not so much! ha.

we really did have a great time... there were some sweet homemade gifts this year...



chex mix, scarves, quilts, drawings, calendars, photo blocks and more!

when we were through opening all the gifts under the tree, bitsy and poppi told us there was one last surprise- outside!! we went to poppi's garage and saw THESE fun toys!! 2 scooters , 2 fun riding toys, and a skateboard!! 

the kids had fun trying them out... and nae nae and josh got in on the fun too! :)

 luckily, noone was injured!

we love you bitsy, poppi, and nana! we are so blessed to have such a loving family. i can not imagine not having family close by to celebrate the holidays with. thank you for all the delicious food, fun gifts, and most of all, sweet memories! <3
