After opening our gifts and eating a yummy Christmas breakfast courtesy of Daddy, we headed up to Green Bay. We were pretty tired...so tired in fact that Lily asked to take a nap halfway through opening presents, but we sure are glad we made the trip. We had so much fun chasing our cousins around and opening presents. That's right we'll admit it, we love presents! We definitely opened some of our favorites at Grandma Jackie's house such as Lily's purple tutu that she wouldn't take off once she got it on, and my airplane that comes with tools to take it apart and rebuild it again. We also became independently wealthy upon opening piggy banks from Grandma Jackie. There was all sorts of money on top and once our cousins, Ben and AJ, finished counting it, we found out that we each received ten dollars in fresh, crisp ones. That's a lot of money right?!? After presents and dinner we we able to enjoy some great cake. Two cakes in fact, one to celebrate Grandma Jackie's birthday, and one to celebrate baby Jesus' birthday. I again wasn't so keen on everyone singing Happy Birthday, but once Mom put that slice of chocolate cake in front of me I was all good! To top it all off, Grandma Jackie almost forgot to give us one of our presents so later in the night a giant bag appeared, and when we unwrapped it, we found a giant Mickey Mouse. He was almost as big as our Mom so of course all of us kids couldn't help but give him a few hugs and some tackles. Family, food (cake to be precise), and presents...it doesn't get much better than that in our world!
