Christmas Day

Looks like Santa made it to Aunt Janet's house!! 

 

Long before our trip to Houston we began explaining to E that Santa would not be bringing her presesnts to Aunt Janets house. He knew that we had no room in our suit cases for the kiddos toys, so he was going to leave them at our house. I was a bit worried about what her reaction would be Christmas morning but she was just as happy as could be with the treasures Aunt Janet and Grammy spoiled her with! One of her favorite items being this tub for her Barbies!

 

Duke got a few treasures too! 

 

And of course Aunt Janet got a few things for our future little man. She is beyond generous and so thoughtful. Thank you so much Aunt Janet and Grammy for making all of my kiddos feel special!

 

Then there was lots of playing. 

 

 Pa made pancakes for breakfast!! So delicious!

We had church at 12:00 which was the nicest thing ever! It was a slow morning where we just got to enjoy and soak everything in. Since everyone was dressed up we figured it was the perfect time for some family photos. 

Tobler Christmas 2017! 

Benicio and Grammy were feeling a bit under the weather so we left them at home. They sure did miss out though! The sacrament program was amazing! The music, the Christmas story. It was perfect! 

These two couldn't be any cuter!

I really feel that we will have to have a photo like this on one of our future Christmas cards. Jakob... present, Duke ignoring, children screaming and I'm just nuts!

Once we got home it was dinner prep time! Oh my LANTA! Turkey dinner twice in one year?! Be still my heart! We cheated a bit but dinner prep was quick and painless.

Chad and Janet ordered a turkey from Popeye's and it was AMAZING!!!!!!! So full of flavor, juicy, tender! AHH! I'm literally drooling thinking about it!

For the evening activity we played Pictionary. We may or may not be a little competitive. It was a fun evening.

Then it was game time!!! I'm a pretty big Chiefs fan. It's hard not to be when we had Andy Reid in our previous ward along with other members of the team, and in our current ward there are also several Chiefs. My Christmas wish was for a Chiefs win...

And guess what?! WE DID!!! It was a very Merry Christmas full of family, laughter, and love! I am so thankful for this time of year and for our precious Savior. Merry Christmas everyone!
