Christmas 4: Our family Christmas

On Christmas morning, we woke up to find the boys in our faces asking if we could open presents yet! Saylor had not yet woke up so we made them wait! I made my mom's blueberry french toast casserole which has become a favorite in our house!

I didn't get a lot of photos of the kids opening gifts as I was too busy watching them!

 I got Joe a Vitamix blender this year- he seemed totally surprised and really seemed to like it! He got me a Fossil rose gold watch and a Nike shirt - both of which I LOVE!

 After we opened gifts, we celebrated with the Coppola family at GG's Christmas at Aunt Bobbye's house. It was nice because we showed up on time and seemed to relax more than usual. We were home by 2 and I took a huge Christmas day nap which I thoroughly enjoyed.

We then baked an Apple Fritter cake for our annual Jesus birthday cake. Papa and Gma Coppola came over to have cake and enjoy the last few hours of Christmas day.

Here's a recap of a few of my kids' "favorite" gifts throughout all the 2013 season:

Art Kit; Nerf Bow and Arrows; Michigan shorts; Michigan jerseys; Michigan yoga pants; Xbox games; Nike shoes; Lions jersey; Minnie Mouse costume; Snoopy toy; puzzles; Minnie Mouse toy; Kinnect; Pillow Pet; tea set; and their Under Armour clothes! 

It was a great Christmas all the way around! We could not make it to the Bruggeman Christmas so that was disappointing. And, we celebrated the Remsburg Christmas at Thanksgiving (I don't have any photos this year). And, Gma Taylor's Christmas was cancelled due to weather- so that was sad, too.

The flu did hit our house pretty hard this Christmas season- one week before Christmas. Everyone had the flu except for daddy! Thankfully, we were all healthy for the holidays!
