What a fun Christmas! I so enjoy this time of year with family and friends. It's been a busy last week but I wouldn't have it any other way. We started our Christmas celebrations with our friends, Shane & Nichole, McClain and Clay Miller on Christmas Eve the boys watched the bowl game (Shane was pleased with the outcome) and Nichole, her mom Anita and I played "Aggravation" lots of fun!
The next morning we woke........... 6:23am........ to find that Santa had visited during the night, it was fun watching JD open his presents, but it took forever, we kept having to corral him to keep opening the next one. Our little Bean had fun with the tissue paper and holding the presents.
She is also starting to crawl............ watch out JD.
After we opened presents at our house we headed to my mom's for more Christmas celebrations. There was lots of food and the family came and went as they pleased. It was good seeing and celebrating with everyone. JD got a firetruck from Mimi and Papa that was a big hit! Thanks mom, everything was yummy!
Then on Sunday we headed over to Mimi LouAnn's for a Christmas sleep over, lots of fun. We had a big dinner on Sunday afternoon and then headed downstairs for the gift exchange, it's so fun seeing all of the little ones so excited. JD and Bean got a farm barn, animals and an elevator that he has been so excited about. (My Grandma Holtz would be so tickled that he enjoys that so much) Then later that night we had "Chocolate Surprise" a Rupp tradition (that I really look forward to). There is always a lot of sitting in the kitchen talking about, whatever, but it's always the place we end up, so much fun!! The next morning we all got up had some breakfast casserole and sat around some more and then headed home. Thanks LouAnn for your hospitality, lots of fun!
Here's Ella all dressed up, showing off her "2 front teeth" (JD calls this her Santa dress)
