We spent Christmas Day at Nick's Mom's house. It was crazy. Those kids are SO spoiled there! :)
We got there about 4 pm. We all hung out and the kids played downstairs until it was time for dinner. We had the BEST dinner EVER there. It was seriously the best meal I've ever had at Sue's house (and I've had some good ones). It was beef tenderloin with benaise sauce, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, green beans, turkey, dinner rolls, and I don't even know what else. But that beef tenderloin was SO GOOD. Yum.
After dinner, we couldn't hold the kids off anymore and we went into the living room for presents. These kids got so much. Here are a few pictures of the mayhem BEFORE the opening even started.
Can you see how many presents there were!?
We tried to get organized after this. We opened presents from one aunt/uncle group at a time. Dom is so spoiled.
From Aunt Katie, Uncle Dave, Cousins Sophia, Henry and Jilly:
A Dora Microphone (the kid loves to sing, what can I say?)
A Merry Christmas Book
A Roller Coaster....this is a whole separate post...
From Aunt Lisa, Uncle John, Cousins Kailey and Addison:
A puzzle
CARS Legos
TOY STORY Legos
From Aunt Christy and Uncle Rob:
A puzzle
A couple of outfits
From Uncle Dan:
2 books
From Nani:
A train carpet (a mat with a train track on it that goes on the floor by his train table)
A Thomas the Train tent with attached tunnel to play in
Penguin winter crocs
CARS Legos
A Puzzle
Nani got him more, I honestly can't even think of what else she got him right now...but it was too much! :)
There was so much going on that Dom got tired of it. He literally got up, walked away and went downstairs for awhile. He was done. Couldn't handle that much stimulation.
Here's a few pics of the craziness that ensued once the kids got the green light to open presents:
After the kids opened all their stuff, it was time for the adults, although the adults had a lot less stuff, and a lot smaller of stuff!
Nick got a Lowe's gift card from his Goddaughters, Kailey and Addison. Nick's mom gave us both some money. It was a good Christmas for us!
Us kids got Nick's mom a kindle. I think she'll like it. She has some learning to do, but once she gets it, I think she'll really like it.
After presents, we had dessert. We had ice cream sandwich cake that Christy made and cookies that Christy made. Both were delicious!! I love Christy's cookies. Nick's mom gave us the rest of the ice cream sandwich cake to take home and it will be gone this week, no problem. Nick and I both LOVE it.
It was a crazy busy weekend, but we had a blast. We loved every minute.
haha, I lied. I just remembered I didn't post about Christmas game night...at least one more Christmas post!

It sounds like you guys had a great Christmas! We could never get my mom a Kindle...she's so intimidated by electronics, I'm sure it would never get touched.
