Post-Christmas Christmas

On Christmas night (after eating at Auntie Bird and Uncle Joey's house), my mom and Max drove up to Harrisonburg and spent the night in a hotel nearby. The next morning, my mom came over for some post-Christmas fun (Max wasn't feeling well so he stayed at the hotel for a few hours before coming over).

We made some scrambled eggs and bacon, reheated the remaining French Toast bake from a couple of days before, and threw a few more left-over items on the table. But before the feast, it was time to open presents.

Here's GG passing out the mini library of books she got them.

My mom got each of the kids a few outfits and a ton of books (thank you!), but the pieces de resistance were set up in the playroom for the twins to find when they came in from playing outside (did I mention that it snowed here? Well, it did.). Gavin got a wooden train set and Vivi got her very own dollhouse! They were (and still are) totally infatuated with their gifts.

Here's the train set (after Wes set it up):

And here's Viv's dollhouse:

Unfortunately, Paxton slept most of the morning so he didn't get to partake in any of the gift-opening. We had a lot of fun with Max and GG that morning and we've thoroughly enjoyed playing with the dollhouse and train set while reading all of the books at nap time, bedtime, and every time in between!
