Traveling Walkers: Christmas at Mom and Dad K's

A few nights later, on Monday night, we went over to Mom and Dad K's for Christmas with the immediate family. Everyone was there - the four of us, plus Mom and Dad, Paul and Angela, Matt and Gina. We had a delicious dinner first, our traditional appetizer dinner. It was SO GOOD! After dinner it was time for opening presents.

Family picture! There is actually a better picture of Leah, but Tim isn't in it. I think that calls for a bit of photoshop magic to make the best picture!

First up was stockings for Cam and Leah

A book for Leah

Leah got tired of stockings and headed over to the present pile. In order to find the best gift, she personally taste-tested each one.

Smiley Leah

She was smiling and making funny faces because Uncle Paul was blowing in her face. She thought it was hilarous!

Nice face, Uncle Matt!

After opening a maze/tracing book from Uncle Matt and Gina, Cameron gives them a big hug!

What cute kiddos!

Leah, back looking for another present. She is drawn in by the shiny silver one in the front!

Hello, Santa Cameron!

Santa Cameron doesn't care if he can't see the present, as long as he can open it!

Santa Cameron is also a wild man opening presents!

Leah spots a small and delicious piece of wrapping paper

Here Leah, let me help you

Angela and Paul

What a surprise, Poppa got a book for Christmas!

Gina is excited to get new hockey gloves. Now she doesn't have to wear Matt's stinky old ones!

Leah gets a special plate to use at Nana and Poppa's house

Cameron helping Leah with another gift. What a good big brother (even if he is doing it because he wants to open more presents)!!

Kristin, very excited to get Edward and Jacob sweettarts!

Are we bad parents because we let our baby chew on a dog toy? We don't think so, we figure that Leah is just double-checking to make sure the dog toy will be fun for her cousin Riley!

Mom with her three Sugar Bear ornaments. She mentioned in passing to Matt that she didn't hang up her one Sugar Bear ornament (which usually had a place of honor on the tree when us kids helped her decorate) this year. You would think that Mom would know better than that... since she didn't hang up one ornament, now she gets four of them!

This was the year of funny gifts from Matt and Gina. They got us the World's Largest Gummy Bear. It is a spectacular 4 pound gummy bear.

So excited to get Glee Season 1!

The clowns from Omi's apparently can travel because they got Paul and Angela more gifts at Mom and Dad's. They got a clown ornament and coffee mug. What lucky kids!

Mama got a hockey bag. Cameron thought it was great and dove right in.

Where did he go?

Hiding inside

Cameron LOVED playing in the hockey bag and spent a ton of time in it. He even asked for a pillow and blanket so he could go to sleep in the hockey bag.
