Christmas Celebrations, Part 1

We kicked off our Christmas celebrations with family at the Konesky Christmas last Sunday afternoon. All of my mom's side of the family gathered at grandma & grandpa's house for a casual meal, games, gifts and hanging out.

Not sure what he was concentrating on here, but Will loved the back loader truck from grandma & grandpa.

"Thank you!"

Sophie got a puzzle and both kids received savings bonds.

Will was the personal gift-opening assistant for grandma & grandpa.

And Sophie was the self-assigned garbage girl in cousin Brittany's lap.

Merry Christmas, grandma & grandpa!

My boys, playing.

I am so in love with her Christmas dress and tights this year! And I have to brag about my ridiculous good deal from a catalog/online store I would normally never shop from: Hanna Andersson. A couple times a year they have a ridiculously good sale knocking off their wares up to 60% off. In fact, the sale happens to be going on right now! Anyway, I bought this sweater dress and tights - original prices $65 and $15 respectively - for $19 together! With shipping the whole outfit came to like $25. I actually ordered this outfit last New Year's Eve and just prayed the dress size I ordered would fit her this year because the sizes are really strange.

Anyway, I know I'm biased, but I think she looks SUPER cute in it. ;)

Cute.

Cuter.

Craig was on child care duty while I played a (card) game of "Push" with my cousins.

"Where's Sophie?"

It cracks us up that she really thinks you can't see her when she covers her eyes/face. And remember her small spaces fetish? She's hiding under a table here.

Playing Push.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve!

We are SO EXCITED!!!
