Christmas Day Recap Part II...

Breakfast was fabulous. My brother and SIL went all out and all of our tummies appreciated it. These two best buddies chilled on the sofa:

While these two worked their tails off in the kitchen:
The results were adored by this little man:And this man: (And everyone else in attendance!

Even the littlest member of our family, my adorable niece Emma, sat down for her morning fruit on her first Christmas in the family:After we were all done stuffing our faces, we sat down to open up some gifts. My parents gave us bags full of gifts, the little ones and big ones alike, the kids were spoiled some more, and thoughtful gifts were given. Here are some pics of that scene:

No the Hulk Hands were not for Wayne, but he likes to play with them as much as Z!

Love this picture of Z searching through his stocking...oh I mean garbage bag full of stuff!

And this gift is a mini-replica of the actual blueprint present that is coming framed later, that my brother and Cheryl got made for my parents to hang in their new lake house. So thoughtful!

After a quick nap at home, we were off to Grandma Alice's to party with the other half of the family. Zach was just as excited to see his cousins Jason and Grant as he was to learn he was about to be spoiled with more gifts from his generous Grandma and aunts and uncles! We enjoyed a delicious dinner, where Matt was the happiest, sitting next to his oldest cousin Jay:

We also opened another slew of gifts including a new baby grand piano from Grandma :

After our 2nd party of the day we were off to Grandma and Papa's annual Christmas party. It was a rousing success, with over 70 guests in attendance. Matt went to sleep upstairs by 7:30, but Zach partied hard, playing games like hide and seek with his crazy Uncle Nick and cousins, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! So here are some pics of that event:

It was a wonderful holiday, and I for one can't wait till next year to do it all again!
