We had a great weekend with my side of the family for Christmas. We met them at my brother’s house on Saturday morning for cinnamon rolls and gifts. The kids lined up for photos before the chaos officially started. They were a bit more manageable this year, although Madison wanted to take off after each picture. The grandkids sat through the unedited Christmas story, a letter from Great-Grandpa Jantzen, and another book before getting to swap their gifts – very impressive! We also had an impromptu Christmas program of kids sharing songs and talents. In the stocking photo, my mom had said, “Ready, Set, Go” to indicate the grandkids should open their stockings. Madison took it to mean that she should get up and race across the room; it was super cute! Madison received a stroller to push around for Christmas; she loved it (as did the other two little munchkins… much learning to share incurred).
Here are some “formal” Christmas photos:
After lunch, my parents put a spin on the normal Christmas and took us all to Comfort Inn’s Splash Harbor for the day/night. Madison took a little time to warm up to the water, but then we couldn’t get her away. Here are a few water pics:
We had a pizza supper, some “quiet” activities, and a good night’s sleep, before we spent more time in the water the next day. It was a good place to hang out and let the kids burn off their energy. A few shots of the rest of the weekend:
