Christmas day was filled with non-stop fun & family time.  We woke up and opened presents & stockings, then we headed over to my parents for breakfast and presents.  The kids put together their gifts  and couldn't wait to play.  We had to play another game of Left, Right, Center (Beau won!) and then finally got ready to head to Fresno.
We started with gifts this year.  Chloe would not sit on Santa's lap, but she did give him a fist bump.  She said that he was the BAD SANTA.  I guess after seeing the one at Disneyland and the one Nana had over a few days before, she wasn't falling this other guy......in her defense, the other two were pretty amazing.  They could have been the real thing, for all I know.  ; )  We did dinner, the gift card game and dancing.   I really love Christmas.  It's so busy, but I wouldn't trade it for all the fun memories we are making.  We did all sleep (at least) 10 hours that night.

Time to eat for Dash

playing, playing, playing

present time - annual pj's

Chloe had to put them on ASAP!  

they're on backwards.  ; )

 We had a great afternoon/evening just hanging out, eating, drinking, talking, eating, playing games and eating.  My parents came, my sister, Nicole, Adam, Steph, the girls and Steph's parents.  If you couldn't tell, there was a lot of eating going on.  We had a gift card exchange and we played Left, Right, Center - everyone's new favorite game.  I think the kids could have played all night, but were too afraid Santa wouldn't stop by if they didn't get in bed.  We scattered our reindeer food on the lawn, set out cookies and put the kids to bed.  Joey put together the Beau's Razor 360 while I finished wrapping gifts and stocking stuffers.  At one point every kid, but Dash was up (midnight).  They thought it was Santa, I guess.  After we got them back into bed, we finished up and went to bed.  I'm so glad they let us sleep until 7:30am.
