There's the official turkey smoker. We all loved our Thanksgiving meal so much that we decided to just do a repeat meal.
Kathryn likes to lick the mashed potatoes off the beaters.
Baby Allison enjoying her first Christmas meal.
I was feeling festive so I mixed and matched the red and green.
Nathan started the Christmas season off by explaining to Paw-Paw that Santa Claus isn't real. Only real people give gifts. He certainly proved his point by showing that you don't have to believe in Santa Claus to get lots of cool gifts.
Nate, Kate and Jess were all grabbing at gifts and ripping them open as fast as they could.
Nathan doesn't even care if he's the recipient of the gifts. He not only opened his gifts, but he opened most of Kathryn's and a few of Jessica's, as well.
Kathryn tried out the tree swing immediately.
A big one.
Kathryn got some new furniture for when she entertains her brother and cousins.
She had one rule, no one else gets to sit in the chair with the ottoman.
Mace isn't forgotten at Christmas either.
I had a feeling this was going to happen when I bought the remote controlled helicopter for Nate. Steve hasn't left it alone since Nate opened it. He aggravated Mace with it by having it hover over his head.
Allison and Lady enjoyed spending time with each other while the rest of the kids were digging into what seemed like an endless supply of gifts.
Nate and Kate got me a new camera so I can take more pictures of them all day long.
Once everything was open I took the scooter out to give it a try.
Then of course Kathryn wanted to.
And of course, Steve wanted to give it a try then.
Steve showed off his pilot skills to the kids.That was all of Christmas Eve. More Christmas celebrating continued on Christmas morning.
