AND THIS IS HOW WE SPENT OUR MONDAY MORNING.......
We got back last night from celebrating Christmas in Gainesville with family! It was really great! Lots of fun and lots of crazy with the kids! It is really fun watching all the kids together! We started off Saturday with just our family at Nunno and Poppa's! The boys spent the afternoon frying turkeys and enjoying "spirits" in the backyard. The kids were upstairs playing for the most part! Caitlin was so cute in her Christmas outfit, Anna and Jack played with the singing and dancing Snowmen that Nunno has on the fireplace (And I mean we heard it over 100 times!) Lucy spent the day snoozing and eating! We missed sweet Jake and Aunt Anneke, but they stayed home since Jake is getting over a cold. Hopefully we will get all 5 together really soon! That night we had an amazing dinner and then opened presents! The basement was decked out for Christmas and OVERFLOWING with presents! Jack definitely is really enjoying opening presents this year. He wants to open everyone's presents! He gets so excited and it's so fun to watch! Sunday we got up and all ate breakfast together and then spent the day getting ready for the Buffington Christmas that afternoon! Another batch of kids and fun watching them! It was a great night that ended with all the kids dancing to "Run Run Rudolph!" It was hilarious!
Before we went to Gville... Mimi and Gigi came to visit! We had such a great visit with them and they were thrilled to meet our little princess! Lucy was such a good girl and enjoyed her time with them. Jack was fun and loved playing with Mimi! We celebrated Christmas with them and gift exchange on Friday night. It was fun! We are loving extending Christmas over several weeks! Mimi and Gigi got to go with us to Jack's school party on Friday afternoon and it was so much fun! The kids ate treats and snacks, did some dancing and exchanged presents (each one brought in a wrapped gift and exchanged them).
It doesnt seem possible that it's the week of Christmas already! December has FLOWN by! Great Granny is coming back on Thursday and will be here for Christmas and we are getting ready for Santa to come visit! It's been so fun! We are loving our family of four and so thankful everyday for Jack and Lucy. It's one of the happiest times of our lives right now having both of them. What a Christmas blessing!!!
