Christmas Kick-Off

 Instead of Monday Night Football this week, we headed over to Gammy's & Papa's for our Christmas with them.  They are leaving on Thursday to spend Christmas with Gav, Shawn and their kiddos.  The house was all nice and decorated and Gammy made the yummiest dinner and desserts!  She made special things that everyone likes!  We ate first and then it was present time!

Love the Nutcracker

Kids' Table

 Funny Story:

So, Papa wanted another roll and asked my mom to throw him one.  She did...and it landed in Jeremy's drink!  Doh!

 The kids wanted to open their gifts and gathered around Gammy's feet and begged:

 They were all a little excited:

 And Carter wanted me to take a picture of the holes in his socks-

 Before presents, Dad read a really sweet poem about the "Inn Key".  I always love hearing his stories or lessons on Christmas.  He's done this my whole life (sniff, sniff...)

 We started opening presents by going youngest to oldest.  Brody was first, and all my kids got tickets to DISNEYLAND!!!! Yay!!!  Thanks Gammy & Papa!

 I got a Disneyland ticket too, But Jeremy got a bag of fun stuff and some $$$!

 Here's Gammy modeling her gift from Mark & Tracy's crew.  I love it!

 All of us went in and got Gammy and Papa a new calendar.  They loved it!  (Phew!)  And I only messed up one birth date...my dad's!  Doh Again!

 Everyone had fun hanging out and playing and eating!  Mark and Tracy got our family a Mexican Train game and candy for the kids!

 Weird Story:

Luke started freaking out and complaining that his leg was cramping.  I went over to help, and lifted up his pant leg.  There was a stinger sticking out of his knee!  A bee had stung him...through his jeans!  But we couldn't figure out how or where!  It was weird...poor Lukey!

 Gammy and Papa got each family "Headbandz" the game.  These kids had so much fun playing it.  There was a lot of laughing going on-

 And we all started cracking up when we saw Luke's headband!  

It was a great night...but short!  It was a school night.  Plus, we were missing our Florida family (sniff, sniff...again).  But it was a great start to the last week of Christmas.  Merry Christmas McEwan Family!
