Christmas Day

After opening stuff at home, we headed over to Ogden to swap gifts with my parents. This, I must tell you, is a VERY unbalanced swap. My mom & dad spoil us rotten and go way overboard with stuff for the kids. Christian, throwing a fit because he was unwilling to leave his train table, refused to get dressed for the day and was still in his pajamas. But, I guess it was an extremely comfortable gift unwrapping ensemble and didn't hurt anyone.

Here's Grandma Tesch on the couch with us.

It was hilarious to watch Christian navigate this huge box through the crowd and across the family room. It was his and he wanted to open it in his spot!

Inside was this awesome Black & Decker play work bench with tools.

Faith is opening some fabulous costume jewelry from my mom. Love those big girl dress up items!

Here is Celeste with what Santa brought their family--a Shih Tzu puppy named Tiff! I couldn't get enough of that puppy's puppy breath.

After several hours of fun with my family, we headed over to Tony's parents.

They also completely spoil us! The mountain of gifts is a sight to behold over there. Lana also puts on an awesome Christmas day snack spread that's out of this world!

Christian is showing his Pa one of his favorite gifts of the day, a Mickey shirt (which he has worn 2-3 times per week since!).

Faith, Zach and Christian each got one of these giant gifts. They turned out to be . . . new luggage!

Faith's old little princess wheeled case is now too tiny to hold her overnight gear and too short for

her to comfortably manouver, so Lana set these kids up. I can't believe I didn't get pics of them, but Faith's are hot pink with black piping (a four piece set) and Christian got a wheeled duffel which is actually in the shape of Thomas the train. They're all set for trips, Park City, and sleepovers now!

They each got cute outfits from the grandparents and from Tammy.

Here's a chunk of Tina's family (clockwise starting at 11 o'clock): Chelsea, Tyler, Tina & Brian.

Christian didn't know how to pedal or steer when he first got this rad new trike, but he's awesome at it now!

By the end of the day, the kids were nearly comotose and in a snuggly high from all the present opening. Here Faith nestles against Tam while playing with her WowWee Alive Lion Cub that she got from my mom. We had an amazing Christmas and loved getting to spend time with so much of our family!
