Christmas and New Years 2013

I know it's a few weeks late, but I'm finally writing about Christmas and New Years 2013.

We went to my parents' house this year to celebrate both of the holidays, and the whole family made it home this year:

We opened some of our presents from Lindsay's family on Christmas Eve back at our house.

One of Reese's favorite presents was his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume - Donatello, of course (thanks Uncle Grant and Aunt Claire):

Then we headed over to my parent's house for Christmas Eve and Day. Palmer thought his new cousin, Rosalie, was pretty cool ;)

But, Palmer's favorite buddy is Jackson :)

While the big kids played with Legos, Palmer and Cousin Elliot enjoyed playing with Little People in the basement at Cici and Bo's house.

We tried to read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and this gif does a great job showing how it went ;)

Early on Christmas morning, before it was time to check out presents, Elliot and Reese got a little iPad viewing time:

Then it was finally Christmas and we had a great time opening presents:

Uncle Taylor and Aunt Nat tried their hand at the lottery tickets that Santa left in their stockings:

The kids really enjoyed playing with their Santa presents:

Yes, Batman did attend Christmas this year :)

Palmer's favorite part was the bows:

Unfortunately, even Cici's War Eagle ornament wasn't enough to help Auburn win the National Championship game a couple weeks later ;)

We took a little break later Christmas week and brought Reese and Elliot to SkyZone, an indoor trampoline house and they both LOVED it.

This was what Reese did the entire time we were there. Somebody was exhausted that night.

Reese got several Lego sets for Christmas and he still loves taking them apart and putting them back together (even though several of them are for kids 6-12 or 7-13).

Doctor Palmer to the rescue!

Reese and Lindsay had fun making tasty cornflake and redhot wreaths:

Yet another Lego set:

Santa brought the boys a bike trailer and a couple days after Christmas it was warm enough to go on a ride to the park. They both had a really good time:

We went back to Cici and Bo's for New Year's and had fun celebrating with them:

We hope you all had a wonderful 2013 and have an even more wonderful 2014!
