Christmas

We were so lucky to be able to drive to California and spend Christmas with Grandma Packer!  Unfortunately Zac's phone was lost at sea so we don't have many pictures of Christmas Day.  At least we have a few though.  :)

Christmas Eve we got all dressed up and went to Olive Garden.  When we got home we opened up pajamas. We all had matching jammies, it was so fun! (Pictures are on zac's phone...) It was late so we all headed to bed to wait for Santa to come.

We set out carrots and gingerbread cookies for Santa, he loved them!

As soon as Teagan and Eloise woke up they ran in to grandma's room. This picture was just before they ran to the living room. It was so fun seeing my kids run down the same hallway that I ran down when I was younger.

Christmas morning was really fun, it always is!

Addy was content to eat wrapping paper, she is such a cute baby! Her favorite present was the tambourine from Grandma Packer. She still loves it!

Daddy got a giant Reese's and the kids all got little ones in their stockings.  I got Lindor truffles, Santa knows us all well!

Teagan made his little sisters mini blankets for their babies that matched the big ones that I made them when they were born.  Eloise absolutely LOVES wrapping all sorts of things up in the blankets and puts them to bed.  Adeline doesn't get it quite yet, but one day she will love them too, for now, they taste great.

Of all the fun dollhouse toys and girly things Eloise received, her favorite present was a tiny purple dinosaur from a quarter machine, go figure.

Teagan had his best reaction for his rubber band loom set. All the kids are making rubber band bracelets at school and now he has the gear to make his own. He has been making bracelets like crazy. He also got a remote control car. He was so excited to play with his new toys that he wanted to be done opening Christmas presents early! Apparently we bought too many presents...lesson learned.  

It was such a fun day and so relaxed. It was nice to not have to go anywhere, to have beautiful weather and go play at the park. I think that a white Christmas is definitely optional! Thank you so much mom for hosting us we had so much fun!
