Christmas and New Year's Day


Eva's Christmas dress.



Elijah's Christmas sweater.



Christmas is a funny time for kids to ignore the actual gifts and play with boxes, tissue paper, and bows. It's also a time for Mommies to forget to post on Facebook and their blogs. Please enjoy this extra long update that is not in order and is missing pictures that are just on my phone.




Cousin Ellis is a monkey. She can repeat back letters to spell her name.



Christmas only added to this little girl's climbing adventures.



The kids got capes from Grandma and Grandpa.



Elijah got a barn and lots of animals. Thanks to Grandpa for setting it up.



They also got a big train. Daddy played inside after setting it up.



Ellis enjoyed it too.



Eva and Ellis play with other people's gifts.



They hide in the train.



They have a little snack together.



We could not get a sitting still while looking at the camera and smiling picture (with the kids).



So, we used a snowman instead. Merry Christmas!



Cousins by the tree.



Ellis got a slide and everyone played with it.



We had another Christmas at Erik's mom's house.



Elijah loved controlling the train under the tree. Each train car have people moving around on it. He could make the train whistle, go faster, or blink the lights.



The cousins all watched the train.



Elijah got a turtle costume.



The kids opened all their presents.



After Christmas 2014, Erik started counting down for Christmas 2015.



We also had Christmas with the DeShon family. Grandpa was the gate/tunnel/bridge.



Then Elijah found out how difficult that job was.



Ellis loved GG's bracelet.



The kids passed out presents.



Eva crawled behind Uncle Mark.



Elijah went to hug Aunt Kass while Ellis opened another present.



Our Christmas at home was done early. We got stockings. Elijah's had army men!



The kids...by the tree...in their new pajamas...with their present piles.



This boy's a new member of the Royals Blue Crew.



Eva had a couple things in her stocking too. Now her stuffed animals hang in a ceiling hammock.



Loving his Blue Crew gear!



Daddy and Elijah got new hats.




This is Elijah's penguin cup.



Eva's cup is the same, only yellow with a rabbit inside.



The family.



Eva's testing out her new hippo bath mat.



Elijah's excited about his 'something to wear' pterodactyl wings.



Erik opened his Xbox One.



I got the mop I wanted...it's ok...it was on my list.



Daddy shows Elijah how to use his Lincoln Logs.



I made Elijah an "E" with Superman for his door.



Now, Elijah can shave just like Daddy.



Eva wears her new dress to church.



Mommy and Eva girl.
