Christmas with the kiddos!

We did Christmas with the kids last night (Tuesday) because the rest of the week is filled with traveling here and traveling there for Christmas with other family members. The kids certainly did not mind opening presents early and I think I can safely say everybody was very happy with what they got.

First, though, the annual picture of the goobers kiddos in front of the Christmas tree...


We make the kids take turns opening so everybody can see what they got. We just go around the room one at a time until all the presents are open. Cade got to open first because he's the youngest and the most impatient of the bunch! He's really into opening presents this year and opens them all by himself now!



A tractor! Yay! With a trailer! (To Cade, the trailer is the most important part!)

Up next... Bubby!

Love the tongue. It takes a lot of concentration to open a present!


Then Sis...

Then Dad...


Then Mommy... (So excited! I've been wanting these specific black Adidas pants for SO long!)

Then Cade again!


Jodi's big gift this year is a custom-made softball glove. She's reading the note that came with her softballs telling her that's what she was getting. Her and Mickey got on the computer last night and ordered it. She got to pick out everything from the webbing to the colors of the stitching. She is getting a black and pink glove made just to order!

And Ryan's big gift this year is....

Can you guess?

What is this? He still doesn't know at this point.

AH! A .22 long rifle!

Sweet!



He LOVES it. He named it Big Bertha.

A cute picture of Jodi excited because the gum in her stocking was PINK!

And me... demonstrating how to use a scrubby sponge, because clearly nobody knows how to do it!

Dad about to open his last "surprise" gift.

A fajita cooker made from plow discs. Cool!

ALL the kids had a blast playing with Cade's new tent!

Lots more Christmas celebrations to come!
