Loveland Christmas!

My parents came to celebrate Christmas with us on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  We had a great time with my parents and the kiddos were SPOILED with presents! 

 

We were thankful that my parents were willing to drive to us to celebrate and we loved being able to bring them to our church for the Christmas Eve service.  I did take a few pictures during church, but those are on my phone and I will post them in a later blog.

Tyler and Chelsea LOVE the movie Rio.  We got them rio bird stuffed animals :)  Tyler now sleeps with about 8 stuffed animals every night :)

We weren't able to spend Christmas with my brother's family this year, but they sent gifts with my parents for the kiddos to open. 

 

An Anna and Elsa wand!  Chelsea loves it but somehow this wand has now ended up in Tyler's crib with him :)

 

Tyler loves Trains!  These Pj's are so darn cute on him!

 

Chelsea is very excited about her Anna and Elsa Pj's from her cousins

 

A little drum noise maker!

Tyler was distracted by a previous present so Chelsea opened some more of his for him!

Grandma brought home made sugar cookie dough and decorating ingredients with.  The kids LOVED helping make cookies on Christmas Eve.

My mom was so patient with the kiddos.  Tyler got into everything and Grandma kept him at bay :)

 

Decorating time!

 

My dad took a little snooze :)

 

 

Chelsea brought some of the cookies and some milk down to the basement for Santa before she went to bed! 

 

It is now Christmas day and time to see if the kiddos were naught or nice!

 

They must have been nice because Santa dropped off some presents, ate cookies and drank some milk :)

 

Santa brought Tyler a new train set!

 

Chelsea received a beautiful dance outfit

 

AND a dance doll.. Sydney!

 

More gifts in my stocking mommy?!

All that present opening made us hungry for some breakfast!  Tyler Love Grandpa and is always as close to him as possible :)
