"Christmas morning" at Grandma Dee and Papa Johnie's

His very own table and chairs!

When Papa Johnie sat down at the table with him he wanted to pray. :)

 Praying

As the youngest, West was first up to open a present.  Papa Johnie brought one over to him but he wanted Papa to open it instead.

He wanted it out of the box so he was signing "more."  He did this with all the gifts for some reason.

 All the boys liked "sharing" each other's gifts.  :)

 Papa Johnie was the official present getter-outer - all the boys crowded around waiting for him to cut some tape open with his knife.

 Loved Mace's reaction!

We got this drum for Silas (or Atticus??) but I think West wanted to keep it for himself!

 Again signing "more"

 Mace and Titus playing with their "iPads" and Mace fist-pumping because he won a game.

 The "triplets" at the table with their new laptops!

Hanging Out in Chilli

We are spending the weekend up with Grandma Dee, Papa Johnie, Aunt Natalie, Uncle Daniel, David, and all West's cousins celebrating Christmas.  Getting all 5 boys together is always so fun (and exhausting!).  Here are some pics from playing Friday night.  Their basement is set up with lots of different stations for the boys (and grown-ups!) to play - craft table, work bench, ping pong table, pop-a-shot, foosball, play kitchen area, music area with keyboard, microphone, and guitar, and lots of other little toys and blocks and such.  It's awesome to take the little ones down there and just let them get energy out!

 People everywhere!

Birthday Lunch with Uncle Cody

We did a little Christmas shopping with Uncle Cody earlier this week and took him to lunch to celebrate his turning the big 3-0.  West loved hanging out with Cody on his side of the booth and showing him all his new tricks until the food came. :) 

Happy birthday, Uncle Cody!  We love you!
