Christmas with Grandma Peggy!

Thursday, Dec. 29
These two early birds play pretty good together in the mornings!


Blayke is loving her oxygen tubes from Grandma Glady!  A good chew toy!
Waiting for Brigs & Bronx to get their teeth cleaned!
We spent the evening at Glady & Les'.  More cousin/family time with the Eisenga's!

We had Jeremiah over for a sleepover!  It was his first ever sleepover, so he was pretty excited!  The boys watched Secret Life of Pets, and then Brigs & Jeremiah slept on the couch together!
Friday, December 30
We headed to Lacey & Brook's for Christmas with Grandma Peggy.  Our last Christmas celebration of the year!
Group pictures before opening gifts!  




Blayke got the honors of opening the first gift again!  
New Jams!

The kids just LOVE Hot Wheels cars & tracks, so his new car hauler was a hit!



The kids were pretty spoiled with new Under Armour clothes!  Grandma found some good outlet mall deals!









 Opening presents is exhausting!  Miss Blayke had a wonderful First Christmas and all of the kids (and adults) were once again very spoiled!  
New Years Eve!
Blayke trying out her new Chicco to-go snack chair from Grandma Peggy!
 A pretty wild New Years Eve for this family :)  It's fun to go out and enjoy friends & celebrations to ring in the new year, but sometimes it's even more special just hanging out at home with the ones you love.  We had a night at home as a family, playing games and making memories.  Who doesn't want to play Minion Memory on New Years Eve?!  It's been a blessed 2016 and it's our prayer that we, along with our family and friends, have an even more blessed 2017!  
So much to be thankful for and appreciative of!  



Cheers to the New Year!

Blayke's 1st Christmas-7 Months Old!!

Christmas morning before the chaos!  
 What did Santa bring!?











The Santa gifts were a hit.. now the kids each get to open 3 gifts from mom & dad!  


 I just love Brigham's expressions in these pictures!  










 Love these Usbourne Fairy Tale books!  






















 The kids' Hot Wheels tracks have taken up half of the basement!  It's something they can ALL play though, so a fun toy for them!

 Grandpa Ron got an iPhone for Christmas so we FaceTimed him!
 The Gerdes/Mesman bunch (minus Tim & Chels' family) came for a big lunch & games!








 Another gag gift..Uncle Jason's picture all over the Fantastic Four DVD
 Grandpa Harold & Grandma LaVonne FaceTimed us in the evening.  Grandpa had fallen out of his bed a few days ago, so he was showing me his black and blue eye!  Notice my surprised face!  Poor Gramps!  I told him he needs a bed rail :)
Monday, December 26
Dad has to go back to work today, but not until mid morning, so Bronx took advantage of a few hours of play time!
 Of course the boys are having fun with the doll house! They always have more fun with whatever isn't theres!
 Sweet thing.. where did those months go?!
 Someone asked what I planned to do over Christmas break and I said I wanted to be lazy & get some reading done! 
12-27
Blayke got another tooth!!



 The boys filling up their NFL books!  

 Boston went to his friend Joah's house for a birthday party/sleepover!  So fun having soccer friends!

 They drew mustaches on each other when you fell asleep!  I think Boston was one of the last ones to fall asleep...around 3 AM!
Wednesday
Snoop took off for the North Pole.  Even though he was lazy once again this year, the kids still enjoyed having him around.  Bronx even cried.
 Snoop left us one final surprise.. an ornament in memory of Jaxon.  
We all got a little teary...except Derek!
Wednesday evening we had just the Gerdes group over for soup & sandwiches!  The kids got to open their gift from Glady & Les, and the cousins did a gift exchange!  









 Glady has me help her purchase gifts for the boys each year.  This year we had some money left over and the kids really didn't 'need' more stuff, so we told Grandma to do something special with the leftover money.  She ordered soccer balls for kids in need!  So fun!!!  

 Glady opening up her and Les' gift from all of us kids!  A gift certificate to Crave and 2 tickets to see the Circ de Soleil show in Sioux Falls!





 We had Jeremiah, Grace & Caleb's name for Christmas!

 His Half Shell Heroes collection is complete!
