wantingababymaas-Bleacher-Report: Christmas Weekend 2011

I got fantastically lucky to have the whole Christmas weekend off!!! We had a great time! Had 2 Holiday celebrations (& we have 2 more to go!)

We packed up Friday morning & headed to Jeff's parent's house for a few days. Had our Maas Christmas dinner Friday night & then opened presents. Had all day Saturday to play with our new goodies with Addie & Ava. I got in some good Ava cuddle time. And we all went to Church Christmas Eve night. The kiddos did fantastic at Church! They were scared for the first 1/3, ate a snack for the next 1/3 & were a little rowdy the last part. But I only had to chase kids down the aisle once. Overall they behaved fantastic!!! I was so proud of their behavior this weekend.

Present time!!!

This one has Thomas wrapping paper, it HAS to be good!

"Ohhhh!"

Cheese!

This was hillarious! I so wish we sould have caught it on video. First the boys opened some CARS lego sets & Logan wanted nothing else to do with presents. Hayden opened another one & it was a tractor. Logan saw it & came sprinting across the room to find HIS next present, ripped the paper of at light speed, shouting "tractor-tractor-tractor!!!" the entire time. Look at his hand in the picture, he was moving so fast I even caught it in the picture!!

Uncle J helping us open our tractors....

.... and build trains....

... and singing Elmo songs.

They had a BLAST with their Uncle J playing & hunting monsters in the basement!! They did such an awesome job not being mommy-daddy needy clingy kids this weekend. Maybe daycare is finally paying off?? I was so excited to see them play & explore a little on their own.

Awesome train from Tisha, Aaron, Addie & Ava had all the kids mesmerized!

Playing CARS Legos Saturday.

Logan could hook all the other cars on Mater's tow hook & drag them all around.

Logan hanging with "Papa Maas" at Church. The kids started calling Jeff's parents "Mama Maas" & "Papa Maas" this week!!

Mommy & Miss Liv at Church

Then Sunday, Christmas day, we headed to my Grandparent's house to celebrate & open some more presents.

Poor Livi woke up with a fever Sunday morning. Check out those rosy cheeks! She was pretty bummy the first 1/2 of the day. Some motrin & tylenol & more motrin & finally her fever broke in the afternoon. She had a great time playing after that. Spunky as ever. And she has been perfectly healthy & fever free since, so I'm not sure what was troubling her?
