They got here Saturday night and help us out so so much by watching Madeleine & Harrison while Matt and I hosted our class Christmas party at our house. We had a great time having everyone in our home & are already planning another event!
Sunday, Madeleine, Charlotte and I stayed home since Madeleine had a bad cold. With Matt teaching our class & needing to get there so early to prep the room each week, it was just easier to keep Charlotte home as well. So the girls stayed home & got the house ready and lunch prepared for our early Christmas feast, while the boys went on to church. (on a side note -- when Matt picked Harrison up from class his teacher told Matt that Harrison led 2 songs in class that day. How great is that?!?!)
After church, everyone came back to our house for Sunday lunch. I made pork loin, sweet potato casserole (my first attempt & Matt said it was wonderful! Yay!), green bean bundles, baked fruit and rolls...and cheesecake for dessert! Yum! After lunch the we all exchanged Christmas gift. As usual, Grammy & Pops went above & beyond on the gifts! Matt and I got some awesome gifts, including new pillows that we love! :) The kids loved everything they received! This was Charlotte's first Christmas and she was such a mess. She was into everything. I know Christmas morning is going to be CRAZY!!!
Charlotte got some great new bath toys. She's already loving them in her bath each night!
Silly Madeleine. They brought the big kids these funny headbands. Here's Madeleine checking our her new set of fairy books -- the Jewel Fairies!
Charlotte had to get lots of lovin' from Grammy and Pops!
And, Harrison with his favorite gift of all! He got a big Woody doll and he loves him so much! He's been by his side since the moment he opened the box and he even sleeps with him!
We were so glad that Grammy & Pops were able to come for a visit! We loved every moment of having them here & the kids are already asking when they're coming back! Hopefully SOON!!!
