The kids and I (mostly I) made 5dz sugar cookies and they were all consumed before I could take ANY pictures! Sugar cookies are meant to be admired before they are eaten!!!!!
We also went to Plaizier's for their Christmas Eve party. We were only there for about 40mins. We wanted to get the kids to bed as soon as possible. It's always fun to see family and old friends at this time of year. Mike and Mary always spoil the kids. This year was no exception! They are very kind to us. Mary is my dad's sister. Its great that she has continued to make an effort to stay close with us. I love her!
Ok, on to Christmas Day...
Leah and Mylo woke up VERY early. They didn't come into our room, they just hurried up the stairs to make sure Santa had indeed visited them. And sure enough he had! He must have some pretty lenient rules to get on the "nice list". Lucky for them, they were all on it.
The kids with their gifts form Santa. Leah's Nano is on her shirt. I love Milli's face in this picture.
Best present we received, Leah's homemade 2011 Calendar. It's beautiful!
The BEST little monkeys in my life.... SO BLESSED!!!!!!
Mylo's new Lego Airplane and Star Wars Ship Thingy.
Otis got some brand name wipes, Milli got a hair dresser set and pretend make up, Mylo got an airplane Lego set (cause we don't have enough, apparently) and Leah got an Ipod Nano. All from Santa :) They also got some other stuff that they have been enjoying. Santa gave us a big box with lots of new books, Jenga, Candy Land, Guess Who?, Despicable Me (movie) and a Fushigy Ball (the kids were sucked in by the infomercial).
Its always so fun to see them get excited about all their presents. The kids make Christmas fun for me.
We then headed to Grandpa and Diann's for Christmas Brunch. We have been doing this since we were married (probably longer than that). Usually Al makes fried eggs and bacon and we always had funeral potatoes. Diann has switched things up a bit, it was good regardless of the new changes.
Me playing with Dave's camera and new lense
I'm in love... with both of them!
Maddie wanted a HUGE bear... that is what she got!
Trevino's have a TON of old toys and the kids LOOOOOVE them. They line the hall way with all the play mobile houses and buildings and they are there for hours! SO FUN!
Max, Meggie and Miss Milli. These two love the younger cousins and
the younger cousins love them back :)
Diann and Grandpa opening the last of their presents
Such a fun filled day!

So good that the older cousins still like the younger ones who look up to them so much. Love all those old toys. They don't make them like they used to.
