Around noon, we head to my dad's house and open the presents from that side of the family, along with the Dirty Santa game. Afterwards, we have a nice lunch cooked by Bonnie and then in the evening we would order pizza. Due to the tempermental businesses of Galesburg on Christmas, ordering has always been "touch and go" so Nicole thought of something new (so we won't starve): we all make our own pizzas. So this year, we did that (complete with an assembly line of any toppings you could imagine) and so began our new Christmas tradition. I think my pizza won for best taste, Nicole thinks hers won, and Kieran thinks his won. Who knows, they were all tasty. And instead of playing pitch, we played "Catchphrase" and the girls (Bonnie, Nicole, me) kicked the boys' (Ben, Kieran, Jason) butts!
Jessie (aka "Dog") hiding under the tree. When the kids come to town, she gets a little stressed and annoyed.
Jonah checking out his new toys with Alaina showing him how they work.
Alaina & Annelise opening their presents.
These last 2 pictures aren't from Christmas Day, but they are too cute to leave off. Jonah can be made to smile or laugh at almost anything. He's so funny. And how cute is Uncle Kieran with Alaina & Jonah (again, smiling, hard to tell with his fist in the way)??!
