Christmas Day

We woke up on Christmas morning and went into open presents about 7:45 a.m.

 Following tradition, we walked in youngest to oldest (my dad being the exception).

 Jason was excited about his superheroes and villian. 

 Liesel was thrilled about her Tinkerbell!

 Santa brought Legos and a Plasma Car!

The stockings were pretty minimal this year, but the kids got mini lightsabers and noisy laser guns.

Testing out the Plasma Car. 

 Peter was excited about the remote control helicopter we gave him. 

At ten we met at GG's church for the annual Finnan Haddie breakfast.  Jason didn't care for it, but still ate his regular so-big-he-can-barely-close-his-mouth bites.  He's hilarious that he still stuffs his mouth even while whining that it's yucky, ha, ha!  After the meal, the kids played a little basketball.

Afterwards we went to the clubhouse at Brad's parents' condo.

I had made light sabers for our nieces and nephews.

 

 Playing with Grandma

We came back to my parents' and played with toys.  Parker built some circuits with the Snap Circuit we gave him.

Then he made bugs with the kit his Pratt grandparents gave him.

Jason had tons of fun doing superhero puzzles from Grandma and Grandpa Pratt.
