Christmas 2016

We had a pretty laid back Christmas this year, which is definitely a plus with little ones.  Josh's parents came over in the morning to watch the kids open their presents then we had breakfast before they took off to Florida.  We spent the rest of the day hanging out with each other and the cottage kids.  Earlier in the month we spent some time down in Evansville to celebrate with everyone there and go to my grandpa's family Christmas.





Mom likes to force us to take pictures.  :)










Game night!
















Dave and Ike opening stockings at Papa Charlie and Grandma Kyra's.

















Ike and Uncle Tony.


















My stepbrother Justin was there for the weekend-the boys love hanging out with him!
















Dad and Kyra wrapped everyone's cash in a ridiculous saran wrap ball, so we returned the favor when we wrapped Dad's present.  Tony put in all kinds of stuff, including one of Dave's shoes.






The kids thought it was great!








Ike and Uncle Ben.

















Christmas morning.   This video of the kids opening up their books on Christmas Eve is a classic.  Ike was not thrilled.




















Ike got a BB gun from grandma and grandpa!




Crazy faces on Christmas Eve.






Awww...Christmas cuddles.















I think their favorite presents turned out to be a K'nex set that I found for cheap a while back, Ike's marshmallow gun, Ike's huge new tractor, and Dave's new 2DS.  He's a little obsessed with that-everyone gave him money to go towards it.
