Sorry it has taken me a while to post about Christmas. I've been sick since the day after Christmas, so for a week now. It has really slowed things down around here. On top of that we had a flooding issue in the twins' room which has resulted in pulled up carpet & an army of sandbags outside. Looks like a fun drainage project for us come spring. And just to make sure we stay on our toes we've had a sewer gas issue in our basement bathroom. Fun, fun. Anyway, here are some pictures from Christmas day at the Yakos house. Let's start with our tree. This year was Josh's turn to pick out a tree. He was excited to get a "big" tree, and he did just that. Our 12 foot tree took every string of lights, garland & ornaments we had to decorate it. It also took out my back while putting it up.
Here's our annual "kids all dressed up picture" that we take after our Christmas Eve church service.
Our Christmas was quiet this year. We hosted my parents & one of my brothers for Christmas Eve & Christmas day at our new home. In the morning we started by opening stockings.
Each kiddo gets a stocking full of necessary goodies like chap stick & toothbrushes.
Along with unnecessary goodies like rubber knives. This was one of Joshie's favorite presents of the day.
He also got a "bull" pillow pet from his Grandma Leslie.
Danica got new undies from her Aunt, of which she tried on every pair in the pack.
Grandpa Buck spoiled the twins with new chaps, each in their individual show colors.
New bathrobes & sleepwear from their Great Grandpa.
Gracie was super excited about this pony set from her Aunt.
As was Maddie about her activity set & art supplies. She has them all organized neatly in her desk.
One of the best parts of Christmas is seeing what the twins will buy you. They take their little coin purses to the dollar store & I pretty much let them pick out whatever they see fit for their loved ones.
Overall a great Christmas. We had a wonderful day spending time with each other & eating way too much. By the end of it all JoJo could literally sleep almost anywhere! Hope your Christmas was just as blessed & Happy New Year!
