Pop Pop and MeMe arrived around lunch time on Christmas Eve and MeMe and Anna Lauren got to making a gingerbread house from scratch. Anna Lauren asked MeMe if they could make one, and MeMe said a kit or from scatch...Anna Lauren said from scratch. MeMe is braver than me...
Look at her face...flour from head to toe...
After several hours, Cooper decided he would join in on the fun...
So maybe the "from scratch" gingerbread house was not the best idea. But hey, bonus points for trying...
Anna Lauren moved on to the kit that MeMe brought as back-up...
Matt continued to work on the gingerbread house...or should we say "shack"?
Anna Lauren on the other hand had much better luck with the kit...
What the gingerbread house was supposed to look like...ha ha!
After church, PopPop and MeMe let the kids open one present...they got head lamps.
After dinner, it was time for the kids to open a couple presents from Mom and Dad...
Oh...and they each got to open a present from their cousins. They opened their presents from James and Mary Martin.
They get an ornament every year from Mom and Dad...Anna Lauren wasn't sure why she got an owl. The ornament usually relates to something they are doing/have done through the year.
They also open the presents they buy each other...Anna Lauren got Cooper a tool belt and a lego set.
Traditional pajamas from Mom and Dad...
James and Mary Martin sent Anna Lauren a "jersey" with Matt's football number on it...
Cooper's ornament...
And in minutes, the living room floor looks like this...
Last but not least, they put the reindeer food out...
And now we are going to snuggle the little ones in bed with hopes Santa Claus stops at our house...
