We made it to Grandma & Grandpa Baldwin's house around 4:00 on Christmas Day. We had a fun evening of Mexican food, opening presents, the kids playing & just enjoying being together! The kids got a lot of clothes & toys from Grandma & Grandpa Baldwin and their cousins. My favorite part of the night was when Mackenzie recited her verses from Luke chapter 2 about the birth of Christ, for all of us before we opened presents. She is a little witness and she doesn't even have a clue what an impact that can have!
This is always a fun way to end Christmas for our family. By the time we got home at almost midnight, we were all exhausted! And we had to get up at 6:00 the next morning to head to Newcastle for Aunt Gala's funeral. While we had a wonderful Christmas, there was this constant feeling that something was wrong...no one should have to go through the death of a loved one the week of Christmas.
Madison wanted a picture of just her, me and Pony!
I love these boys so much!
Jonah looks so big in this picture.
Jonah and Cole were buddies the whole night!
Present time!
Mackenzie & Bailey exchanged gifts, Madison & Olivia exchanged gifts, and Jonah & Cole exchanged gifts. It worked out so well to do it this way!
Jonah didn't waste any time with the banana he got in his stocking!
