Then we watched the big kids go through their stockings. 
As usual, Cason has the best sweet, grateful reaction to his gifts.
We did really well this year, got them each a few things they LOVED. Paige was SO happy that Santa did bring her a Hello Kitty diary kit she'd been wanting.
Neely doesn't care about opening gifts. Once they're opened FOR her, she is interested in certain ones, especially books, and ESPECIALLY Jingle.
She wasn't that interested as I opened him for her until she started to see bits of fur and his ear. She'd been seeing him in stores, and every time she would start doing her little monkey sounds and reaching for him. As soon as I opened her very own Jingle she leaned forward and gave him a big smooch on the nose.
Then we gave Gia her gift.
I started the dough for cinnamon rolls, made it too dry, put it out to rise anyway, and went over to dad and Trudi's.Neely was starting to get tired, so she wasn't cracking many smiles. Even on her new rocking horse.
We went home again a while later, to meet up with Jess's side of the family for a few hours. Veronica and Dan made a couple of quiches, which were awesome, even after I spilled what must have been 2 full cups of sugar on top of one of them. :(Then I overcooked the cinnamon rolls a bit. I was really on a roll. No pun intended, but I'm glad it happened.
I forgot my camera at dad's, so we got no pictures the rest of the day, but Grammy sent me this one from our visit.
THEN my mom and siblings came over for coffee and to visit a while. They got some more great gifts, lucky kids.Cason scored lots of robot stuff.
Then we finished the night off with Mollie and Tim's dinner, where once again, I got no pictures. :( But it was a very nice Christmas. We missed you though Grama.
