Christmas Day

Christmas morning, started out with a run for the kids' pile of presents from Santa:

Santa was very good to them this year. ;0)

They all sat and played with those presents for awhile.....

until they couldn't take it any longer, and wanted to open the presents from each other & from Jeff & I.

The aftermath:

After a relaxing morning together, we headed over to my parents' house for our Ramsey Christmas!

Here is 3 generations of girls! My oldest sister, Kathleen, her 3 girls; Rachel, Karen, & Lindsey, and Rachel's twin girls; Brigid & Ceridwen:

Then we let the two boys, Kyle & Ares (Rachel's husband & son) in the picture too. ;0)

My brother, Joe & his little girl Madison:

My mom & dad, right before they opened the letter telling them we paid for a trip to Rome, Italy for them!! =0 

The chaos of the little kids opening presents:

Then it was time for the adults' white elephant gift exchange! Here are just some of the "treasures" that people got:

Then, my mom wanted pictures of just the boys & just the girls:

Then we made mom take a picture with us. :0)

It was a wonderful way to spend the day!

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve started out the way it does every year; we get dressed up, take family pictures, and then head to Christmas Mass.

I had to throw this one of Lily in her coat, because I thought she was just too cute in it. :0)

This year, we decided to start a new tradition. They got to open one present that was to all of them:

In the box was new jammies for each of them, a "fancy" hot chocolate package for each, and a new Christmas movie for them to watch. They really liked this new surprise!

After the movie, we set out cookies & milk for Santa and read Twas the Night Before Christmas. 

Then it was off to bed for a good night sleep before Christmas day!

Logan Family Christmas

Yesterday, we had our Logan Family Christmas! The first thing the kids did was put on a concert for us. They got Christmas headbands on and sang a few carols for us!

Then it was time to open presents! The kids (and Jeff & I) received a lot of really nice things. Thank you everyone!!

After presents, the kids all made gingerbread houses! They had fun piling on the frosting & candies!

(I didn't get a picture of William) :0(
It was a fun day spending time with each other!!
