Christmas with Grandma & Grandpa N

While the boys were napping, Grandma & Grandpa N arrived and it was super nice to have them here. They arrived in stellar fashion with light up glasses and antennae headbands. We got a little bit of quiet time before the boys woke up (and I worked a little bit on our dinner). Of course, as soon as they got up, they were ready for more presents! We had a wonderful afternoon. The boys showed off their new goodies, enjoyed ones from Grandma & Grandpa and played outside a whole lot. We had a yummy Christmas dinner - turkey, ham, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and mac & cheese. I also made Rocky Road brownies to serve with ice cream. We all went to bed last night with full happy tummies! 

Funny Grandparents
Eli loved them!
"Who's present is this?"
Little boys don't get very excited about clothes but Mommy sure does!
We all love books. 
Classic! Rubik's cube was a great idea. The boys have had fun playing with them. 
Gonna look handsome!
Eli had fun throwing the trash paper balls through the uprights. 
The boys had been begging to open the gifts their cousins in Florida sent. 
And they totally ripped into it! Fun tetherball set. Good outdoor fun!!
Cole helped Grandpa open his first gift. 
And it was hilarious!
Grandpa loved his 60 ounce flask!! =) He'll have fun showing that one off to his RV buddies. 
Grandma was happily surprised to get her own wool blanket (she loves ours and we thought it would be perfect for their RV).
I love Eli's face here - he was having so much fun with Grandma. 
Sweet and silly. 
When it was time to go play outside, THIS is how Cole dressed himself. It was a little too cold for this brilliant ensemble. 
Super Panthers fun ready to have fun on the tree swing Santa brought. 


Eli was practicing kicking his new football off the tee and trying to make a field goal. 


Cole kept playing on the swing 
and making himself sideways
until he flipped himself over.
For some reason......
falling in the leaves was hilarious! 
Football with Grandpa. 
Grandpa tried to kick a field goal. 


Eli decided to try Cole's swing game.
He flipped himself over and
found it quite funny. 
The football continued into the night - Daddy kicking off to the boys. 
And running / tackling fun. 

Yummy dinner!
Stocking Slinky didn't last long. 
Merry Christmas Grandma & Grandpa!!
