Christmas Parties #3, #5, #6, and #7

Party #3: Christmas at The O'Regan's

As always, lots of fun.  This year was extra entertaining because we fit everything in, despite some other events on the same day. Chris' graduation ceremony from NIU was that morning, and Kyri's 4th birthday party was that afternoon. We still got all of our group shots, enjoyed delicious Crock Pot Pot Luck food, played a new game, and opened gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new Santa's (Brendan and Matt) found some help passing out the gifts...

And their second time with gifts was no different - Grady climbed on top to tear paper as soon as it was placed in front of him.  Morgyn somehow had the feeling that it was for her, too.

 

And Aubry's face was priceless when she got her very own "Marble Trail"

Party #4: Pre-School Party (in previous post)

Party #5: Christmas Eve

 

Mia just loves these babies!

 

Christmas Morning!
Santa kept it very simple: A bike and some puzzles for Aubry, and a gumball machine, phone, and mp3 player for Morgyn and Grady.

 

 

Party #6: Christmas Morning at The Boston's

A beautiful tree, and beautiful breakfast, and lots of great gifts-

 

 

  

I think that's a little too small, Bryan.

 Grady loved snuggling his snowman friend.

 Mia got light up princess shoes!

 Morgyn kept track of all the gifts. She was climbing all over them! Searching for something specific, perhaps?

 like a new phone?

 Grady also liked playing with toys that were not his...

 ... but everyone was willing to share their new things-

 

 

 ...even Grandpa Dale shared his cold can with Grady!


Party #7: Christmas Dinner at The Knutson's
We can't seem to find parties that don't have delicious food and lots of gifts...
Tessa got a giant leopard!

Morgyn and Grady loved their chairs... and their swinging ride from Pop....

  

 

Aubry enjoyed spending time with family :) Even though she and Kyri ate at the "kids" table, they were still with the adults.

 

Grady and Morgyn liked playing with Uncle Steve and Uncle Kyle.

 

 

And we started a new tradition of making gingerbread houses!

 

 

 

 

It was a wonderful Christmas Season. We are so blessed to have such loving and generous families.
