Christmas on Thanksgiving

This weekend we had Thanksgiving and Christmas with my family at my sisters in Colorado. Aidan met a real neat friend "big bear" and was in love instantly...we thought he liked the bear SO much that we bought him one for Christmas, so i can't wait to see his expression when he sees it again.
Layla opening one of her presents. It was nice having a Christmas early with my family, since on actual Christmas everybody else will be doing their own thing with the other sides of their family. The kids got a lot of nice stuff, Thanks everybody!!
Out of all the presents, there is nothing like wrapping paper...Layla and Aidan really enjoyed playing with their cousins Adrianna (2) and Ebony (7). They followed them around in awe, Adrianna got a kitchen in which Aidan and Layla loved playing with and copying her actions in pretend "cooking".
Amber, Greg, and Pa working on last minute food preparations...it was all delicious! We all contributed somehow, Kendall and I made pies...yes from scratch even! haha no Sara Lee this year for us!
Adrianna drawing with Ebony after presents were open. Ebony helped out with the kids a lot, she loves playing with them and has about 10x the energy as any of us adults! Adrianna tended to follow her around, it was kind of cute, having her follow Ebony, and then Layla and Aidan following Adrianna. Guess every kid looks up to their older cousins.

They all played so nice together don't you think? Hope it always is that way. I am glad we are able to get them together, to know each other better.
