Christmas with the Mattern's

We had our last but not least Christmas on Sunday night with Grandpa Steve and Grandma Cindy. It isn't very often that we can all plan a time to be there but it worked out for almost everyone with the exception of Mitch and Courtney and Lukas. We had fun chatting and playing for a while before we ate supper and then enjoyed a delicious meal. As always the kids were anxious for gift opening so we did that right afterward. Grandpa Steve handed out the gifts while they closed their eyes.
The kids got gift cards this year which will be nice to use once they go through all their new toys in the next month or so. They are to the age now that money to spend on anything they want is super cool!


Even Emerson liked her gift card. She thought it was delicious. Little does she know, I will probably spend most of hers on clothes instead of toys. We have plenty of baby toys but she is quickly growing out of 12 month clothes and with plenty of winter ahead of us she is going to need some new warm winter outfits.

She did get big Legos also. She loves to play with the boys Legos. They call her a baby monster because she crushes, destroys and tries to eat any Legos that she can get her hands on.

Grandma and Grandpa with the kids

I guess Jace isn't too sure about Grandpa and never wants to sit on his lap so this was quite a success. Maybe he just hasn't realized who's lap he is on.

This was the last of our Christmases and we went out with a bang. The kids had all gotten a ton of great gifts and so had Robb and I. We were so lucky to get to spend time with so much family. We are truly blessed by the families that we have.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
