Christmas Day!

Christmas morning we wake up to our stockings and presents under the tree! I got to fill stockings this year for Santa... that was fun. Our traditional up north, charlie brown, closest tree to the cabin Christmas tree! We put up the tree on Christmas eve and wake up to presents filled under the tree. I once again was Santa's helper and gained a greater appreciation for my parents. Growing up, our cabin was quite a bit smaller with only 1 bedroom. So all of the kids slept under the tree. It was so magical waking up with presents all around... and we never woke up! I don't know how long we will last all together under one tree-we were filled to the max with presents and I only have 1 kid and Randy & Chrissy haven't even started yet! This year there were only 4 grand kids at the cabin.

playing with the toy from Santa the night before.



It was so fun watching the kids play together. Dennis wanted to help Norah any time that her pacifier was out of her mouth, Dennis was there to put it back in. Norah is 8 months old and she wears the same size clothes as Dennis. Haha.


Then we hurry out the door to Grandma June's party (my mom's side). Where we eat Lasagna, play games, make a video and have Santa come again!

Dennis didn't like the idea of sitting on Santa's lap very much.

But didn't mind looking at his beard.

He never really got used to it.


I miss those curls!!!
With the combination of so many new things, new people and places and getting some molers we have very few pictures of him smiling during this trip. Here is a good one- I'm glad he still has one.

Here is Dennis's cousin Norah.. she is just so pretty that I had to include a picture of her.

The family.
my mom's family.


Dennis got dressed in his jammies and had a bottle in preparation for the long trip back to the cabin.
Thanks Grandpa.
