Christmas with Grandpa Tom

On Sunday we went to my dad's for christmas with him and Diane and her children. Wow, what a house full. There were 9 grandchildren running around. And it is not like it was really warm out to sent some outside, so we were all in the house. But it wasn't that bad. The bigger boys did a pretty good job watching, so that they didn't step on the two little ones. Devin wasn't too sure about the house full. He tended to make his way to the big of the living room by the sliding glass doors and like hanging out there. He had a lot of extra room there to play.

Before we could open presents we took a few photos. Some family ones and one with all the kids.

Austin got a push/ride toy and he liked giving Devin a ride on it!

Devin got a rocking chair from Grandpa and Diane. I got a few pictures of him on it that night, but his face and shirt were pretty dirty since he just got done eating. I will hopefully post some better ones of him on it some other time.

John Deere Christmas

Devin had a very merry John Deere Christmas this year.

Christmas

Christmas is alway a busy time of the year, but with a toddler it seems even busier. After being sick for the past few weeks, Devin is starting to finally feel better (medication really does help)! We spent Christmas Eve as a family this year. In the morning we went over to Ben's grandma's house for a little while. Devin was into EVERYTHING, like normal. He was really interested in what the cat was doing and where the cat was going. Then he found the cat food and that is all he wanted to play with. Of course mom and dad both said "no" which made Devin really mad! After visiting for a wjhile we went down to the Schaper's house to give Kayla her christmas gift. Devin got a remote control car from Kayla and he likes playing with it. He knows how to run the remote with no problem at all. Later that afternoon, I went to church with my mom. Devin had just fell asleep so he stayed home. When I got home we had a very uneventfull night of relaxing and opening gifts.

Devin was not that interested in opening presents. He would start opening the gift and hand me each piece of paper and then get bored.
He wasn't that excited about his gifts, but mom and dad's were more fun to play with.

Christmas with Grandma O'Reilly

On Saturday we had Christmas with my mom, Patrick, Robin, Alexis, and Austin. They came over from Jackson on Friday night because the weather was going to be not the best on saturday. And for a change the weather man was right, it snoed again and the wind picked up and starting blowing the snow. We had a good time just hanging around the house and watching Patrick and Alexis outside in the cold.

After an afternoon nap for the kids and supper, we "finally" (in Alexis' mind) got to opening presents. Devin hasn't been feeling that well, so the idea of people and presents in a small around didn't go over to well. He opened one present and that was it. Once Ben moved him to the other side of the room he seemed to be a little better.

We were able to get a few photos in front of the christmas tree.
