Since the crowd for Christmas day was smaller this year, we opted to have everyone at our house this year. While there was a bit more added stress of preparing for the meal, it was so nice to just be able to wake up and let the kids play. In past years, we had to rush off to any number of places and it gets so hectic. The kids enjoyed being able to stay in their pajamas for awhile and playing with their toys. Josh, my mom, and I also got to sit around a bit and drink coffee and just enjoy the morning before everyone came over. I can't wait until we get a bigger house so we can claim Christmas day every year!
Santa brought them mini-quads and their stockings. Malachi got Lightening McQueen, Madelynn got Tinkerbell, and Aiden got Handy Manny. They loved driving them in the house although there were several traffic jams.
Malachi on his "car" as he would call it.
Aiden nearly took out the broiler door on our oven. He rammed right into it and got his bumper stuck on the door handle. I had to pry them apart!
Madelynn taking a break....princesses have to do that you know....
Grandma and Grandpa Ketola got them guitars. Lessons in the future???
Aiden already knows what to do. He is so musically inclined!
And in true Princess Maddie style, she got a pink one! She was sure to let the boys know it was hers too!
Grandma and Grandpa Ketola also got the kids a drum set to share. They love it! I think every kid needs to have a drum set like this! We have a whole band at our house now. Aiden also got a musical set from Aunt Brenda and Uncle Jim which has given us many added instruments in our group. Give us a few weeks and maybe we'll be ready to do paid gigs!?!?!?
