Christmas Round 4: GiGi Ma

We love Christmas time around here, so to make sure we had enough celebrations throughout the month we  spent yesterday concluding this year's Christmas with the Lockwoods and GiGi Ma. Wow! Our living room has never been so insanely full of gifts, lol. Luckily, they were for 8 people rather than just the two little boys we all know have way too much stuff as it is...lol. Great times with our family.

The boys were able to play together all over the house (there are now toys in every room and every level). We are trying to potty train Max now with no pullups at all--he is not having it. He does pretty well in the morning when it is just us, but throw in a cousin and lots of activities and he was peeing all over the place, except the toilet. That helped make for an interesting holiday. Despite that, we did have a wonderful day; good food, lots of awesome gifts, and quality time with one another. Thank you so much Mom/GigiMa  and Kelli and Brandon for all of the nice things. We all really appreciate it! Here are some photos of our day together.



Brandon was the official "Santa", while Max and Drake helped deliver the presents. 







Gorilla bank-- it makes noise whenever you put money into it. Fun for us! hehe

Interactive food  for Max's new kitchen!


Haha I like this picture because I look kind of crazy. The boys were jumping all over me on the couch- Max had just gotten up. 



Daddy reading Max and Leo one of their new books. 


Leo's new wardrobe! 


Opening a present with GiGi Ma. 

Clint, Carol, and I each took turns letting Leo try and open his mountain of gifts. He loved crinkling the paper in his fingers. 



He loves his panda! 

And he loves his Aunt Kelli! 

Super cute new kicks. 

I'm going to walk soon! 


I love his eyes- they look like mine ;) 



Well, that is the end of Christmas this season. We had such a nice month of visiting with friends and family. I actually have one more friend Christmas on Monday, but I probably won't post pictures, so according to the blog records, Merry Christmas 2011! Thanks again to Clint's parents, my parents, my Grandma, and the boys' Aunts and Uncles for all of the amazing gifts. We are very lucky to have all of you. Now we are looking forward to what the New Year will bring.
