After all the presents were exchanged the kids had fun playing with old and new toys together...
Again...there was a "party of one"...ahhh the parallel play of 2 yrs olds...gotta love it!
Neat to see the cousins switch it up and play with different combos of kids...
Aunt Sandy watched Carter so I could grab a shower...meanwhile the twins and Grandma were making a delicious Christmas meal for us downstairs...Sandy got some fun pics of that adventure that I am hoping to add later!
Then Uncle Neil and I headed to the park with the older 5...Carter wanted to stay and play....when we got there I was looking at the fun sledding hill and I will admit I was a little jealous that our hometown was having a "White Christmas"...but we would more than make up for it on the 26th!
Rolling down the hill...fun times!
Some people take their rolling quite seriously...
We got back and ate lunch and played some more inside with the yummy smells of dinner all around us...(sidenote: Carter did not enjoy being the only cousin to go down for a nap over the holidays...he would cry and fuss when it was time to make the rounds and say, "happy nappy!" but as soon as he was in his packnplay he went right to sleep and usually woke up happy too...prob the last trip for the packnplay...he is getting so big!...a whole new adventure once that isn't in the mix! Could get crazy!)
After a lovely dinner we enjoyed some competitive games of Don't Break the Ice...Santa must have known that it would be a hit with this generation as well...love that all our fun games from the 80s are still cool to kids! We also got Hungry Hungry Hippos and Alex got Twister which were all played numerous times with the kids...
Then after the kids were in bed the adults did our White Elephant/Yankee Swap...lots of fun and laughter, but no pics on my camera...memories in my mind until the pics get passed to me! :)
