The weekend before Christmas, we hosted Mike, Cara, Ryan, Lindsay, Roger and Chris Watson, and Grandma and Grandpa Wolford for a brunch to celebrate Christmas a little early. Everyone brought scrumptious food including fruit made to look like the grinch and like a Christmas tree (from Chris), the best homemade cheese danish I have ever had (Grandma), a cherry danish in the shape of a candy cane (Chris), more pancakes than an army could eat (Scott), and the most delicious variety of Christmas cookies (Cara). After we all stuffed our bellies full, we opened Christmas gifts and then played with some of them. We couldn’t play with all of them because there were too many!! What a wonderful way to welcome in the week of Christmas!
Aiden had a basketball game earlier that morning so he was famished and stuffing his face with all of the goodies
Lindsay has been on a bit of a hunger strike recently but she ate well this morning!
Here come the gifts
Court was very excited to be an elf and bring everyone their gifts
Ryan couldn’t wait to start opening!
Grandma reading tags for Aiden.
We told the kids that they could’t open gifts until they posed for a photo. A little bribery never hurt anyone, right?
Teenage mutant ninja turtles!

Bruno got some good treats for Christmas
Target practice for Lindsay
Court was great at retrieving Linsday’s arrows. He just adores that cousin of his.
Grandma, Grandpa, and Lindsay look great – the rest of them, well, we did our best.
And thanks to Uncle Mike and Aunt Cara, this is what our evening looked like – new PJ’s and slippers!
