Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas to one and all! We had so much fun spending time with our families over the last few days. Here are a few (yeah right) pictures from the last three days...

Colin is so handsome. I just can't stop myself from taking pictures of him constantly.

Changing time has become a bit of a challenge as he now has to reach/grab/chew everything in sight.

On Christmas Eve we all hung out at Caleb's house for a few hours. The little ones had fun playing outside in the snow and the big ones had fun playing Rockband. I took Colin outside for a few minutes and he wasn't sure what to make of the snow. Naturally he had to grab some and try to stick it in his mouth, but I don't think he liked the coldness so much.

He did seem fascinated by it in general though.

Also, he likes to smile. 

Sara, on the other hand, did not enjoy being outside so much.

Yahoo for playing in the snow!

Donovan had fun being buried in the snow...

And so did Kaylee...

So then all the kids wanted to play.

Doesn't Kaylee make the cutest snow angel ever?

We took it down a notch later in the afternoon and sang a Christmas carol, read a Christmas story, and the children got to open a special Christmas present from Granny and Papa—blankets. Colin didn't get a princess one, but he did like playing in Rachel's. 

Colin's blanket was a super snuggly dinosaur print. He liked playing in his blanket too.

On Christmas day Nate, Colin, and I opened presents three separate times. We got up early and opened our family presents at our house first. 

Colin was very talented and opened his own stocking.

Can you tell how happy he was to get another set of Whoville pajamas?

Nate got some of his favorite tv shows and movies.

Colin loved the gift bags!

Nate and I think so much alike that we purchased the same gift for each other. Anyone interested in buying a set of Arrested Development on DVD?

Later we opened presents with my side of the family. My mom was more interested in playing with Colin than opening her presents. 

Heather got a toaster. She's very excited to make toast.

Seth, Nate, and Ethan all got colored hot chocolate from Disneyland. I hope it tastes like fun.

Nana got a really awesome digital picture frame from all of her kids. I'm sure she'll love it even more once I get some pictures put on there.

Once again, Colin loves gift bags. Probably because they taste like Christmas.

Seth is excited to have his apartment smell fancy instead of stinky.

Ethan is excited to play another video game.

Grant is excited to watch the Muppets.

Kelli is excited to smell like Pure Seduction.

Nate is excited to live the life of a redneck with the Redneck Game of Life. It's a good one.

I guess Nate's also excited to show Colin his new toy.

Later in the day we went to play with Nate's side of the family. DeAnna was so happy to see us!

Donovan being adorable, like always.

We played Nate's redneck game, and it was hilarious! Dang!

Nate took this one. Well done, honey.

Finally something Colin liked that wasn't a gift bag!

That Kaylee is such a cutie.

It took him a while, but eventually Papa got his gift from the kids open. He's excited to fly away and do genealogy whenever the mood strikes him.

Granny got a really awesome digital frame from all of her kids. I'm sure she loves it because it's loaded with tons of pictures of Colin. Who wouldn't love that?

Bryant had a great time with his cowboy dress up stuffs. 

This is his hard core tough face. I don't know about you, but I'm certainly intimidated.

Having a shoot out with Hannah, the giver of the gift.

I think Brad and Donovan are watching someone doing Wii Fit here. 

Colin, being cute, on the floor, back at home. Man that kid is getting huge.

TTFN.
