Our Christmas in Springfield

Lots of bonding time with cousins and Grandma and Grandpa

 Hanging with Aunt Gina

 Open presents time - complete chaos

 Kaitlyn and her coloring

 My Maddie girl

 The boys and their intense Jenga games

Brothers

Time off with Dad

 Dad's the fun one - he takes them places on all these days off - here they are at Monkey Joe's

 Now, they are at the Dupage Children's Museum

Christmas at Nana and Papa's

 Dad was sick on Christmas Eve - this was the man's gift at Cronin's so he modeled it for us on Christmas day

 Nana, the present wrangler

 They got Kaitlyn a bike, but she really wasn't sure about it

 Maddie's fuzzy coat

 Hailey was so excited to get her own fuzzy coat

 Helping dad open presents

"Papa, open this"

Christmas morning

 No, really, we're up….

 Always make them wait until we get the whole house up to come down - especially since Santa does not wrap his presents in our house

 Let the unwrapping begin

 Dad watching and wishing he was still sleeping

 Checking out zoomie the robot dog

 Matching outfits

 Hailey got a school uniform - one she was asking for

 Kris made waffles for the girls

 A little Just Dance game

Dad even got in on the action

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve the girls got all dressed up and we headed to church

 My cuties

She looks so old

Sassy, as usual

Sweetheart

 Then we headed to Cronins where the big girls disappeared together

 Everyone else munched away

 Kaitlyn colored very seriously

 Kids playing together or in the same space

  Nana hanging with her youngest

Maddie getting a gift from her godmother.  Maddie started to not feel good so we didn't stay very long.

Family photos 2013

Since its a weekend with not a lot of posts, I figured I would post our family pictures we did in November with Maria.  She took some great ones as usual that we used for our Christmas Cards.
