Christmas with Grandpa Richard

I guess you could say our kids are lucky.  They get at least three installments of Christmas!  After Christmas morning, and Christmas at Grandma Candy's, there's Christmas at Grandpa Richard's and Grandma Ruth Ann's!  We headed to their home on Monday, the 26th, in the late afternoon.  They had a kitchen full of yummy things to eat, and everyone was excited to see each other again and visit for a bit.  It took the kids a little time to warm up to their surroundings.  They don't get to see Grandpa Richard very often, but it didn't take long for them to start running around and getting into things. ;)

Of course, we eventually got around to gifts.  The kids were elated to see huge gift bags with their names on them, full of gifts.  They dug in right away!

The kids loved their gifts!  They each got a set of pajamas, slippers/socks, a new blanket, a new stuffed friend, candy, and a book.  Wow!  Thanks, Grandpa Richard and Grandma Ruth Ann!  Danny and I received a gift bag as well, with a book for me, fudge for Danny, and some cash for us to share.  We were all very grateful!  Since opening his gift, Johnny is completely attached to his stuffed friend, who we appropriately named "Teddy".  He sleeps with him every night. :)

As excited as we all were to receive these awesome gifts, we were more excited to have Grandpa and Grandma open their gift from us!  And they loved it!

We visited for a bit longer before it was time to clean up and get the kids on the road.  We are excited to live closer to my Dad now, so hopefully it won't be so long between visits.  This was our last stop for Christmas, and with it ended a holiday full of family, presents, and fun.
