Christmas in Champaign!

Before we headed to my parents, Al wanted to give us the gift he made at school- a picture frame! We loved it!
Just a few precious Christmas pics with the kids and family!









The kids did so great waiting patiently to begin openning!
This is what Sweet Jack did!
A sea of packages and giftbags!
Everyone got something they loved....Jack got a musical stuffed animal (look at his eyes)
Alaric got the 1986 Transformer movie he had been hoping for
Veronica got Beer ( no, really she got a dancing/singing/clapping dog but it fit in the beer box perfectly)
Grammy and Papa got an original piece of artwork by Mara and Alaric for their bedroom
and Mara got a Clifford Backpack AND a tricycle ( Dan, Jen, me and Bri got stuff too)
Jack was forced into taking the traditional baby in a stocking picture and he was not too happy about it but he'll look back on it later fondly, right?

Jack's first Night Before Christmas with Grammy & Papa! So special!Both kids fell asleep on the way home...exhausted by the gifts, the cocoa, the food, the monsterous cookie, and the love of family!!!

Grammy & Papa gave Al an Optimus Prime Helmet that changes the voice of the person wearing it. Everyone had fun trying it out- especially Grammy as she started Twas the Night....
