Christmas Day!

My kids were up around 6:15 to open stockings, unfortunately I didn't get a single picture because we were Facetiming Ben the whole time.  We also opened a few presents just the 4 of us so Ben could see them open the presents he sent.

After breakfast and picking Nathan up from the airport, we were ready for the big Christmas extravaganza.  


The kids opening their sacks from grandma and grandpa (a Yoder tradition)

The afternoon was full of playing.  Eli built one of his FOUR Lego sets, while Grandpa and Uncle Nathan worked on a puzzle.


The boys all got Ninja Turtle Pj's and painted their faces to really take on the role.  Then they thought it was hilarious to be riding bikes in their pj's.

Christmas dinner was Alison's request: ham, potatoes and creamed corn.  My mom even made gravy out of the ham drippings which turned out really good.  We also had Eli's request for dessert: cheesecake with fresh raspberries.



Our house has been full and the kids have had a blast with their cousins, which is one of the best presents they could receive.
