Christmas Recap - Christmas with the Kinsellas

On Monday night Paul and Ang flew into Syracuse.  Everyone came over to our house for dinner and hung out the rest of the night.  Cameron requested that Uncle Paul put him to bed and we learned that Uncle Paul is a total sucker (or else Cam is very convincing) because the bedtime routine that normally takes 15-20 minutes stretched out to about an hour.  Cameron loved spending the extra time with Uncle Paul, reading lots of book and hearing some new stories.

On Tuesday night we went over to Nana and Poppa's to celebrate Christmas.  We had our usual appetizer dinner, and it was completely delicious and way too much food, as always.  After dinner it was time to open presents, but first we took a family picture.

Oh, and we had to clean up from dinner.  Cameron and Uncle Paul were on dish drying duty.

High fives for awesome dish drying!

Meanwhile, Poppa and Leah were on dancing duty.

Dancing is pretty much Leah's favorite thing to do, but it looks like Poppa is having a pretty good time too.

Finally, time to open presents!  Cam and Leah were very excited.

Nana and Poppa bought Cameron and Leah light-up spinners at Disneyworld.  They really liked getting them at Christmas.

Leah's spinner has Tink on it.

One of Leah's presents was a big kitty cat bank.  She asked everyone for money to feed her kitty.

We had lots of fun and the kids were so good.  Leah even went to bed in the crib at Nana's and Cameron laid on the couch so we could stay and chat for a bit.  It was such a nice Christmas and we wish we could get together with everyone more often!
