Christmas #3 & New Years Day

Christmas #3 was with Grammy, Papa John, and Michael's brother's family.  Grammy and Papa John came to Texas to celebrate on New Year's Eve.  By this Christmas, I forgot to bring my camera!  Aunt Amy made a yummy meal for us and then we casually opened our gifts.  Piper got all American Girl clothes and one AG movie.  The American Girl movies are so great!  Briggs got more jumbo animals and he's been playing nonstop with them!

 Here is Daddy, Jonah, Piper, & Briggs playing pretend with the animals.  Briggs has latched on to the gorilla and the lemur monkey for some reason!  By the way, I just think Piper looks so big in the above picture.  Sad!!  We left around 8:30 pm, got the kids in bed, watched a little television, and were in bed around 11 pm!  No midnight kiss for us.  Not when the threat of your kids waking you up the following morning at dawn!

Then on New Year's Day, Daddy set up the new Christmas swings we gifted to the kids!  Piper was thrilled!  Plus, it was a beautiful day to enjoy them!

 He set up a disc swing on the tree in the backyard and a regular seated swing on our patio, which is not pictured.
