Christmas Day

Christmas morning we woke up early and headed over the the Ricker home. From this picture you can probably tell that 7AM is a lot earlier than 10AM for the Gwenster =)

But she was a trooper... of course, being Christmas and all!

The Ricker kids & grandkids!
Pretty soon we're not going to fit on those stairs

Someone is excited!

Shanna & Jordy, excited too =)

Oscar, just chillin'!

Gwen got a zuh zuh pet from Grandma & Grandpa

Poor Gwen. We wouldn't let her play outside with Dust & Soy, so she watches from afar...

Still watching...

Then we came back to my parents house and opened another Christmas...
The Dobles joined us at mom & dads, while the Arnell's & Crawford's joined us a little bit later.

Gwen walked out of her room with a handful of toys...

As you can see, she chucked the toys & went for the slide

To say she LOVED her new slide, is an understatement. She didn't care for anymore presents. Maybe that's all we should have given her.

It looked pretty clean, so I thought it'd be pretty easy to clean, so of course, we left if for Christmas Eve and around 10:00 pm, we brought it inside and took a closer look, it was filthy! Mud & grossness in all the cracks. So we took it apart and hosed it all down and washed it all. Put it back together and it looks good as new.

Best Craigslist find yet!




Here's a bunch of pictures of the kids opening their gifts...

Qiunn & Soy with their new pillow pets!!

Gwen... still on her slide, watching a movie

Everyone watching a Christmas movie

Oscar's first Christmas, the joys of a 2 year old, BOTH families... beautiful day!
