a grandma christmas part 2

while in wausau we also got the chance to spend some time with
grandma lenore, aunt laurie, kaiti, noah, and keaton

 

 

 

 

 

 

we don't see them often enough
so it was nice to visit and catch up!

christmas at grandma's

on the day after christmas
we made the trip to wisconsin

my mom had everything all ready for us
and we spent the day opening presents
and enjoying a wonderful 'feast' as drew puts it!



the babies were ready to be held ;)

 

and
all of the grandkids were excited for their few days that they got to be together

drew was VERY excited to FINALLY be able to give the packer pillow
that he had made for my mom

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

  

  

  

 

 

 

we had a wonderful time celebrating
and just being together

thanks for everything mom!!
we love you!

hunger games

who would have thought that a craft show
and a few simple bow and arrows
would add such fun to our christmas



my mom bought these bow and arrow sets
and
figured if they kept the boys busy for a short time
they were worth it

well ...
they kept them MORE than busy

it was all out hunger games mode

  

 

 

 

 

they were a total hit!

thanks mom!!

the elf diaries

although i didn't capture everything that we caught elfred doing this year
i did catch him having a little bit of fun

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

he even brought us cupcakes from sweet mandy b's in chicago!
it's too bad we all were sick and had to wait a few days before we enjoyed them ;)

AND ...
before he left ... he changed all of our screen savers and backgrounds
to a picture of him!

crazy elf!
thanks for all of the fun!
the boys already miss you!
