Christmas with Grandpa Kenny

Last Sunday we had my dad and brother over for Christmas (Katie was sick and couldn't make it).  West loved pulling them around showing off all his toys, and he insisted they read him lots of books.  It's fun to see how different he is when people are in his territory vs when he's somewhere new.  AKA he's a lot bossier here at home!  :)

Brad taught him how to raise his hands up when asking where something/someone is.  I guess he's wondering where a certain animal is in the book.  Too funny.

LOVES his new John Deere tractor scooter!!

Christmas Eve and Morning

On Christmas Eve we were supposed to have my dad, brother, and sister over for dinner after our Christmas Eve service at church, but we had been sick with a stomach bug the night before and earlier that day so we had to postpone.  We took it pretty easy, though we did make it out for the Christmas Eve service because we were feeling a little better then and didn't want to miss it.  Afterwards we had dinner and kept West up a little later than usual watching "It's a Wonderful Life" in his new pj's.  Before bed we read the story of Jesus' birth and "The Night Before Christmas."

Christmas morning we didn't want anything too heavy on our stomachs, so we ended up having cinnamon toast cut into Christmas shapes for breakfast and then opened stockings and presents.  

 West got new toothpaste, toothbrushes, and forks in his stocking and new plates, a warm fleece jacket, and a keyboard as presents.  

He had to put each piece of paper that he tore off on the ottoman.

Christmas with Grandma Rosemary and family

After our own Christmas morning festivities we loaded up and headed down to my Grandma's to have Christmas with my mom and her side of the family.

 Opening presents

After opening presents we headed out into the freezing cold to take some pictures for my dad.  He's been asking for new pictures of his kids for months now and we were finally able to take some for him for Christmas.
