Christmas in January??

"The Crew" minus GT...

So now that it is the last day of January, the kiddos are FINALLY getting to celebrate Christmas with each other! We have seen each other since Christmas several times, but it hasn't been a good time to exchange gifts. These kiddos were so stinkin' excited. Ashton must have asked every time she walked into the office and saw the still wrapped Christmas presents when we were going to exchange gifts.

On Saturday we had a get together for the Olsons and thought it would be a great time to let the kiddos exchange their gifts. This was the 2nd year they drew names. The only sad thing about the whole event was that GT had a sinus infection. He stayed at home with Nana so Gina and Anna could come by for a bit...poor guy. We sure did miss him!

Landry was already in bed when we did the gift exchange...she was thrilled on Sunday when she opened her gift from Carly. It was a bubble blowing machine for the bath tub, some fun little bathtub nesting cups and the cutest little hippo that said "Wet and Wild"...that is so her in the tub!

Here are some pics from the evening...

Anna and Grayson drew Ashton and Macy's names...they were both so tickled that they got the same High School Muscial CD! It was a hit...these girls love to sing and dance!
Anna was a bit sad that we were opening presents without her Bubba...she waited until everyone was done and opened her Barbie Princess and extra outfit.
Carly was so excited over her Princess Puzzle and Pink Little People Boat for the bathtub. She literally had a huge grin on her face the whole time she was opening her gifts...too cute!
This is how excited Carly was about her puzzle...she tried to open it by herself...then Anna jumped in to assist. I just about tinkled in my pants laughing when I walked into the playroom and saw this on the floor. Those girls CRACK me up! They are pretty smart I must say!
Little Miss Landry got her some loving from Mr. Bill!
Landry decided she needed to climb in Bailey's boucy seat...what a cute little mess she is. She stands on EVERYTHING these days! She was quite impressed with herself
Macy and Ashton made use of "the box"...I love that they were snuggled up and giggling when I walked in and just had to get a picture.
I was able to convince Anna to join them for a picture...cutie girls!

The kiddos (and the grown ups) had a super fun time...maybe next year we will actually celebrate Christmas earlier. At least it was before Valentine's Day. We love these kiddos!
