CHRISTMAS DINNER AT THE PEVCHIN'S

After a wonderful Christmas morning of presents, breakfast and some time relaxing watching A Christmas story, we then moved over to Grace and Scott's place for an early Christmas dinner where Christine, Tom and Kassandra joined us.

Dinner was awesome! Thanks Grandma for all the cooking you did and great food.

There is nothing like just spending time with family. What a wonderful couple of days!

Awe look at my beautiful family

CHRISTMAS MORNING

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

I love Christmas morning and this Christmas was a great one. Grandma, Grace and Scott joined us early Christmas morning to open presents.

Just a side note, you will notice the TV is on, part of our family tradition (this has been going on forever) is to watch "A Christmas Story" all day long. I think if there was ever a trivia game on that movie, my family would kick ass!

Grace, Lilly and Logan getting ready to open some presents!

Looks like Scott really needs that cup of coffee this a.m. to wake up and open some presents.

I think Grandma needs a little less coffee.

Do you notice that Scott is opening his presents with one hand, he just cant put that coffee down.

Lilly likes her Lady Bug Puppet

Oh look Logan got underwear for Christmas, thanks Grandma, hee hee

This is the present Logan has been asking for since October, he made sure to ask Santa as well. Thanks Grace, Scott, Morgan and Kyla.

Stinky the Garbage Truck

Stinky the Garbage truck farts and that makes Logan laugh

Ahhh just what I asked Santa for!

Lilly really enjoyed her first Christmas, ripping off the wrapping paper was so fun and now she has a ton of new toys.

Here is a nice big present for David from Grace and Scott, but its hard to open since its covered with packing tape

And Look what is in side, another box covered in packing tape, this is going to take some time to open

great another box covered in tape...

Ok the last one...

A canned ham and a gift card, thanks!

I really enjoyed watching that, Davids fingers hurt in the end, I hope they do it again next year!

GETTING READY FOR SANTA

Back home on Christmas eve Logan puts out Chocolate Milk and Chocolate Chip Cookies for Santa, because Santa works hard and needs a good Chocolate fix. I get both kids tucked in bed and fast asleep.

Then I call Grandma, Grace and Scott and tell them they can start bring over presents, see we don't put anything under the tree 1. because its a better surprise Christmas morning and 2. because Logan and Lilly would not be able to keep their hands off the gift even if they were for someone else.

As Grace stuffs the stockings David and Scott build Logan's new Hot Wheel, or what ever they call that type of Bike these days (Radio Flyer?).

Now that is a sight!

CHRISTMAS EVE AT THE HOLLOWAY'S

We have a wonderful family tradition, it started when I was just dating David. We would always spend Christmas eve with Davids family and Christmas morning with mine, the tradition has held Strong and its even better now with more kids to enjoy it with. This is Lilly and Kassandra's first Christmas eve!

Christine and Logan making a Ginger Bread house, of course Logan is eating a lot of the house decorations.



Tom in the kitchen cooking!

A little play time for Lilly and Kassandra

Lilly trying out Kassandra's jumper, she liked swinging in it better.

Kassandra and love playing before we start dinner

Food is almost ready, Tom cuts up the turkey and ham.

With Christine and I always taking photos, they family feels like Celebrities that have the paparazzi following them. I am amazed my son isn't blind after 4 years of this.

Time to make the kids go blind  take some cute photos of the kids.

All right Santa came early, so lets open some presents

Fushigi ball, Logan saw this on TV and wanted it.

Logan got a fossil kit, you have to break the rock and dust off bones till you get them all out and then you put together your very own Dinosaur Skeleton
