Christmas Round 3 and the aftermath!

This is exactly what Chrisgmas looks at the Reed house :D So wild but crazy! No dogs or children were lost either...lol. Missing temporarily but not lost!

The day after Christmas the sun actually came out for a few minutes and these kids couldn't have been more excited to play with their new toys outside!

Car races!

Headed back to Mimi and Grandpas house now before the sun goes away for a boat ride!! This weather is so crazy but it's mid 70s!!

My monkey boy:

Brody even enjoyed Peyton's new bakery! 

Loving on his uncle Smity!!

A little late night Kareoke from the cousins before everyone leaves the next day ;-)

'Twas the Night before Christmas and Christmas morning!

It's that time.....they are preparing for Santa and his reindeers arrival!! 

Reindeer food is put out!

They also sprinkled some Grinch dust to ensure he doesn't try to stop at our house!

Cookies, carrots and milk are out!

Papas annual tradition of reading the Christmas Story before bed was complete! 

CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!

Look what Goo Goose did :-D

Day 27: I guess we are making pancakes again for breakfast! 

They had lots of fun decorating their pancakes!

What a very Merry Christmas morning!! It was definitely busy and loud but so much fun!!! I'm going to miss these days when they are all grown up :-( Now I need to find more batteries...lol

A quick nap for Brody and then we were off to Mimi and Grandpas house with everyone for Christmas dinner! It was actually pretty low key and a nice break from all the craziness and the aftermath of Christmas that was upcoming Haha. 

Day before Christmas Eve And Christmas Eve!

After a stressful few days Papa came to save the morning for us and do something fun with the kids while they are on Christmas break.....homemade pancakes and cut-outs! 

Next up was cookies for Santa of course! Baking is always so much more fun with other people!

A little rest for everyone and then time for Christmas church service the night before Christmas Eve. I think I may like this new tradition. Sure made Christmas Eve relaxing!

Christmas Eve fun!! After a week of pure rain these kids needed to do some serious running and jumping for all that energy! 

Yes it's end of Dec and these kids were all in shorts and short sleeve shirts with this 70s weather.

He did it all by himself! He has no fear :o

No fear for this boy either...even with a caste already on one hand.

Home for a bath after all that playtime and straight into our pjs! It's ok that it's only 1pm :-D 

Time to make more cupcakes for Jesus b day party on Christmas Day!

Brody liked them!

Now the fun part!!!!! 

Day 26: Goo Goose started the gift tower first and then we just added to it!
