Christmas 2014!!!

Well, I decided to put the camera down a little more the Christmas and enjoy the kids.  Bad news is, not many pictures to show for, good news is, I did "see" a lot more!  And, I didn't even take my camera to all the other places (grandparents houses).  We had a great time there as well…..just no pictures to show for it.
The kids had a great Christmas.  Peyton was up at 6:20, Maddie close behind at 6:30, Jack brought up the rear at 6:45.  We made them wait until 7:00 when Grandma and Grandpa Farm got here.  Maddie wins the prize for "best present opener."  She LOVED every present she opened and would just sit and play with it until we would tell her to grab another one.  She loves every.single.present and just wanted to play, play, play.  The bigger kids, you know the ones that are a little more greedy, just tore through one after another, and THEN dug in to play after everything was opened.  Typical, I'm sure.

Getting ready!

 On your marks…..

Giving her lamb a hug as soon as she opens it….

WHOA!!  Big present!! 

 And finally, a little art work on the new easel.  

AND, clearly, if you haven't noticed pants were definitely optional this Christmas!!!!  We will do better next year on our modesty.

Grandma Jeanne came over a couple days later to help Peyton get started with her sewing machine.  Grandma Jeanne is Peyton's only hope to learn a sewing machine.  My sewing techniques stop at a button and thread and needle.
