On Thursday {December 23} we packed up the car and headed to Winfield. We were hoping to do a little shopping at the Rubbermaid store but it was closed, so instead we just spent the day relaxing and watching movies.
Christmas Eve
On Christmas Eve morning Jeff, me, my dad, my sister and my grandma decided to try our luck at one of the Indian Casino’s just over the state line. Grant stayed home with Grandma Linda to help her with some cooking. It didn’t take us long to lose so we were home before lunch.
As a little surprise this year Grant got to open two gifts on Christmas Eve. We let him open the first one earlier in the day in hopes that it would keep him occupied.
Here he is with the first gift of Christmas.
He’s really not as evil as he looks in this picture. He just happened to yawn right as I snapped the picture.
We took a few pictures after we got back from church on Christmas Eve.
Then Grant opened his other Christmas Eve gift . . .
SURPRISE . . . It was Christmas pajamas!!!
What says Christmas more than a friendly, family game of poker. My dad and Jeff taught Grant and my sister how to play 5 Card Draw. They raided my dad’s jar of quarters before they got started.
This is Grant’s poker face.
Christmas Morning
As you can see Santa didn’t miss us in Winfield this year. Grant got a fun dice game that provided hours of fun Christmas night and a flying monkey, which Spiro absolutely hates.
Here’s Jeff launching it for the first time.
Dad {with Sprio and Casey}
Mom getting her new office chair . . . with a little help from Grant!!!
Jeff loved all of his new eBags. Now he’s ready to start packing for his first trip of the year.
Jeff was super excited to model his new vest . . . can’t you tell?!?!
I think my dad was just happy entertaining all of the dogs.
I got this new fancy case for my laptop that came with an extra bag from Jeff’s grandma. Even though it was beautiful, my stuff didn’t actually fit inside of it very well. Luckily I was able to exchange it for a black one that holds everything perfectly and is on wheels.
Aunt Karen loved the new stone we got her for her Studio Ring.
The fun came when everyone started opening their bags of purses from Gran. It’s become a tradition for Gran to give everyone purses for Christmas. She loves to hit up the sales at Dillard’s throughout the year. In all the excitement I didn’t even get a picture of the three new Kathy Van Zeeland purses I got.
I love the look on Nana’s face in this picture!!! Can you tell she loves her new yellow Fossil purse?
I think my Grandma Norma loves her new Jessica Simpson purse, too!!!
My dad and Jeff drove to Emporia to pick Miles up during the afternoon and then we did Christmas all over again with him that evening. One of the gifts from Santa was for both boys so Grant had to wait and open it with Miles.
The boys also got electric blankets {which they both loved} from Jeff’s grandma.
Miles got his own flying monkey and Right Left Center game in his stocking. He also got several VISA gift cards so he could do a little after Christmas shopping.
His big gift was a laptop. It was fun to see how excited he was.
Miles brought Grant a baggie filled with practical jokes. If you look carefully it looks like Grant has a nail through his bloody, bandaged finger in this picture. He also got some ice cubes with spiders in them, a whoopy cushion and some trick bubblegum.
