Christmas in November

With all three sons--Dallas, Chad, and Mike--here for Thanksgiving week and their not being able to get back in December, we decided to have Christmas here yesterday. There's nothing like opening presents with a houseful of kids.

Dallas and Amanda's three: Sam (7), Maya (5), and Elle (Beanie, 3) and Chad and Christa's Isaac (16 months) made it all that more special.

Then all smiles next morning on Christa's lap and interacting with Maya.

Here's how he gets his binky from Dad Chad.

Uncle Mike shows Maya candy Grandma bought. It has a huge fake bug embedded in it.

My lifetime Christmas gift.
