Christmas 2014

Marc and I left the kids at Gramie and Poppi's for the week before Christmas so they could hang out with their cousins...we had to work.  Gramie had lots of stuff planned including making these cool snowmen from items they found at home.

We came back on Christmas Eve...just in time for cousin pictures with matching PJs.

Merry Christmas Olivia, Marcus and Emma.

The kid were up early Christmas morning.  Marcus was super excited to have his Daddy back for snuggles in the morning.

The girls were excited to have Mommy for morning snuggles too.

All the kids were super excited to see what Santa brought.  Auntie Kimmie made everyone wait until all the adults were ready.

They were okay with it at first.

Then they started to lose their patience.

Tracy, Gramie and Kimmie thought it would be fun to take lots of pictures.

Then off they went.  Look at those huge gifts!

Marcus started with his stocking...lots of goodies there.

Emma couldn't believe it!  A new camper and jeep for the girls' American Girl dolls.

Olivia showed me all the cool things inside.

She LOVED it!

I thought it was pretty cool too.

Marcus got a cool remote control and motion censored dinosaur.

It was very cool...it is almost like a pet!

Breakfast time!  Yum!

The kids got dressed then it was time to open gifts from everyone else.

Marc and I got the kids mini ipads this year!

Look at that mess of presents...everyone was spoiled!

Let's just say the ipads were a hit.  There will be rules...but we let them explore for the rest of the weekend.

We drove down to Yakima on Friday morning to take Grandma to lunch.  It was great to see her.  She is doing awesome!

Gramie and Poppi hit the road to Arizona yesterday and we stuck around for one more day to close up their house for them.  Raymond also came over for a visit...I don't know what I was thinking, I didn't get one picture of Raymond. 

 This is our 2014 Family Photo taken just before everyone left.  

Overall it was a great Christmas this year!

Merry Christmas everyone!  Happy New Year too!
