Christmas celebrations started out with the Masons on Sunday the 21st. The kids in their matching "jammies" were adorable and the outfits definitely helped bring out the extra silliness! We tried to get a cute picture for mom's Christmas card, but I think the outtakes are better than the "nice" ones.
We had a nice casual lunch together and then opened stockings and gifts. The kids were beyond hyped up (who can blame them?) and we did our best to control the chaos.

| This is me smiling to say "thanks Uncle Andy and Aunt Tara for giving us ANTS!!" Actually it will be pretty cool to watch the ants make their tunnels, so long as the ants and sand stay inside their home and not ours! |
Lots of wonderful gifts from everyone - the kids have so many fun things to play with! (Thank goodness because it ended up raining for the next 3 straight days.)
After presents, we had the afternoon to read, play, and make messes in Mimi and Papa's house!

The kids had a blast retreating upstairs to the toy closet and playing in Mimi and Papa's guest room. I'm not quite sure what all they were into but I know it included getting in and out of the crib, "sleeping" in the big bed, finding needles in Mimi's sewing stuff, coloring with colored pencils (only a tiny bit on the carpet), dumping out the huge bin of teeny tiny Lego's, brushing teeth, and....wait for it....eating salt out of a child's potty seat. I have no idea whose idea that was, but we'll just add that to the growing list of really gross things Fielder has eaten.
We enjoyed a delicious dinner, courtesy of Mimi and headed home after a fun-filled day. Thanks Mom and Dad for everything!!
