Welp, here's the rest of our Christmas. And I'm only about 3 weeks behind, so that's pretty much a new world record.
We drove to my parents on Christmas Day. This has been our tradition for the last few years and it works out pretty well.
Patrick was still in love with this whole Batman get up. He really wore his mask for most of the day on Christmas and it still comes out almost everyday, complete with cape, snow boots, nerf sword and a blanket to create a double cape look.
It wouldn't be Christmas without someone wearing wrapping on their head, now would it?
G and G Mach got the kiddos a Mass Kit. This thing is awesome. I need to take lessons from the acolyte in our house, because I can't even name all the stuff that came in it. The kiddos love it. Dominic usually makes himself the priest. After "setting up Church" for 10 minutes, he comes around the house and says "Guys, it's time to go to Church." Then we sometimes get asked if we've worn our church clothes and are often reminded to be quiet, "because its time for church!"
The next day was Bruggeman family Christmas which culminated in the famous Bruggeman gift exchange. This year's theme was X,Y,Z. There were lots of fun (and some weird) gifts.
Aunt Ann and Cousin Meghan.
This kid LOVED opening gifts. He'd rip off a little wrapping and just squeal with delight.
Barrie didn't disappoint with a Yankee Candle scent thingee. By now I don't even remember what this had to do with X,Y,Z, but it was a good one...
Some random gifts from Uncle Bob. We never did really figure this one out... :)
Kisses (X) and Wine for Lizzy. Isn't she so pretty??
The kids and I stayed for a few extra days. We filled our days with lots of playing and reading, a day to Morill Hall in Lincoln and some friends to Wahoo.
We also made gingerbread nativity scenes. This picture represents the 10 seconds that the whole thing actually stayed together. It was a fun project, but ended up being a little frustrating (and that could be a definition for having little people, I guess).
Uncle Lucas played outside with them in the giant sandbox.
We were very happy to be surrounded by family all Christmas season!
