As been tradition ever since I came into the Vruggink family, we spend Christmas morning together. It's something we all look forward to. Grandma's sticky buns, stockings, playing with cousins, brunch, treats, just being together.
Christmas Day photo op! Not bad.
(And I can't find the stocking pics!?)
This year, we just opened the stockings as Uncle Trent and Aunt Michelle would come down state a few days later and we would have another party then.
The rest of the week mostly looked like this!
Boys playing, toys everywhere and lots of fun! Legos are a hit...again!
I finally just gave up in trying to keep things picked up. Quite nice actually!
Later in the week we took ALL the grandkids to Critter Barn.
The boys could not get enough of these little creatures!
Grandma will her 11 grandkids under 11!
Saturday night we had a nice dinner and opened presents.
A pillow pet. Since he has decided its' name is Sparky. ;)
Um, excited!?
A rip stick!
Talking about a book from Grandpa and Grandma. It's a recordable book with them reading the words. So sweet.
New Year's Eve found us bowling as we have made a tradition I guess.
This little one was more intent on getting just one piece of candy from this enticing machine!
We wrapped up the festivities at Russ'(which by the way is SO not as good as it used to be or what our childhood memories told us....no part of our tradition next year ;)
This break was all it was needed to be. Fun, relaxing, family time, play time, staying home, staying in jammies just because, and doing as the day brought. We are refreshed, rested and ready for our routine Monday!!
We are refreshed and rested too, but not quite ready for Monday's routine yet! Love all of your fun Christmas pics!
