I don't know about anyone else but we celebrate in rounds. We went to my mom's house Christmas eve after Firefighter got off work. Me being the spaz that I am I forgot my camera. I also failed to take any photos when I was at Aunt N's house later that night.
We'll start with Christmas morning. Santa hooked our kidlets up. If you look on top of the TV the big gift for everyone was on top. They got a Wii. We have a 4th controller. I know I bought it. I just can't seem to find the gosh darn thing. I had to play gift giver so I was only able to get a few photos of the kids opening gifts. They had a great time. Firefighter got an Xbox game that he wanted really badly and didn't know he was getting along with a DeWalt drill he knew he was getting. I got a Wii fit and a beautiful silver necklace. The kids got so much it would be impossible to narrow it down.

Carrot Top and Wild Boy had to leave around noon. We have an agreement with their mother that we can always have them on Christmas eve and Christmas morning if she can have them Christmas night. We are a-ok with that and probably won't ever change it.
We headed down to Firefighter's dad's house with Aunt N around 2. I snagged some photos of them all together. Can you possible tell what Firefighter will probably look like in 20-30 some odd years?



From there we headed over to their Grandma and Grandpa's house. We met up with their cousins, who are our kids' ages.
We didn't plan to eat there. Grandma more or less made us. It was fine until she pulled out the ham. Aunt N looked at me and asked if it was roast beef. It was that over cooked. We ate a little just not the ham. Or the cottage cheese with orange jello in it.





This is Blond Terror and his cousin, well actually Firefighter's but that is another story. They're 15 days apart. I didn't even know that his mom was pregnant until we were both at least half way through.

Then onto Friday at the hotel when Firefighter's mom came into town. We can get a little crazy :). For the record I didn't take all of these. I snagged a few from Aunt T.




How cute are my boys in their bibs? Firefighter was wearing his and Blond Terror had to wear his too!

I don't remember what Aunt T said to us but Aunt N and I both turned and did this. Butt shots are customary in this family.

Prissy Pants and Super Hero stayed at the hotel that Nana(Firefighter's mom) was staying at with their Mimi, my ex husband's mother. They opened their gifts from Nana and Aunt T and Uncle J then. Christmas time for us is hectic and only randomly will you be able to catch us with all of our children.
After we left the hotel Firefighter and I went and got our big Christmas present to one another. It's smaller than what we had but we're both super happy with it.

Saturday Firefighter and I cooked and baked and cleaned our booties off. Nana, Daddy Loves, Gma, Gpa T, Aunt N, Uncle B, Aunt T, and Cousin I were all coming over for dinner and gift opening.









Our Christmas festivities wrapped up on Sunday morning. We went out to eat with Nana, Daddy Loves, Aunt T, Aunt N, and Gpa M.

Aunt N, Crazy Mama, and Aunt T. These 2 are some of my absolute favorite people. They just get me and they accept me for who I am. I love them for who they are and all that fun jazz. I'm getting kinda sappy so I'll quit now.

Great pictures! Kyler is getting so big! What a handsome little guy! You look great, too, Leigh! I'm so glad you guys had a nice holiday... and I'm laughing at your not getting Christmas cards out til March... hey, at least you send them out... this year, I totally slacked and sent ZERO out!
That cleaning one cracks me up...it's like you feel like you might get caught cleaning in those last 5 minutes. Maybe it's the thrill.
Thanks for stopping by and I sure hope you don't have to call poison control again (but I'm betting with 5 kids, you might)!
