Christmas 2015

We headed to Ellensburg as a family on Christmas Eve.  We spotted some elk on our way there. They were right by the windmills...if you look close, you can see them...so cool. The kids got to playing with the cousins right away...there was lots of snow. Christmas Eve always means cousin matching PJs.  Baylor and Marcus made sure to put out the treats for Santa.  Olivia set up our stockings.

Everyone was up early...we always make them do silly poses before seeing what Santa brought. Olivia and Emma got a huge Lego house.

After Santa gifts the kids hand out the family gifts. Emma shows off some of the volleyball stuff we got her this year.  Olivia and Emma got knee pads, volleyballs, water bottles and backpacks...this is the first year of volleyball for them and they are ready!

Then we had breakfast and Sledding time...Poppi pulls the sleds with the tractor.

The kids decided to make some box trolls.  Ceci and Olivia started the trend. It wasn't long before everyone got in on the fun.  Marcus was serious about his...he drew a whole Minion scene. So cute...Olivia, Sophie, Emma, Gia, Marcus and Ceci.  Elle and Baylor had to go home earlier so they missed this activity.

Grami and Poppi brought out birdhouses for the kids to paint.  Olivia started on hers early. Poppi and Marc played some cards. Marcus got his birdhouse out to paint. Emma did too...it was a fun night.
