Christmas with the Kartchners Part II

Christmas Eve present! Londyn is a champ now with all the practice she got.
"What is it? What is it?"

Princess Jammies and Slippers! Love the PJ tradition. Always makes for cute pics Christmas morning.

We woke up and did stockings. Londyn found ELMO in hers!
Of all the toys she loved to play with the baby jumper. Elmo enjoyed it too!

Londyn and Sami loved playing with everyone else's presents!

Happy Christmas Day!
We had breakfast, went to church, then finally came home to open presents. Only Londyn had had it and asked Cody for a nap. So we let her sleep while we all took turns opening gifts.

Finally our little Christmas Angel woke up. Only she had no interest in opening her presents, not with everyone else's toys around.

Caught a cute pic of Caroline, outside playing.

Londyn opened a cute doll from Kamm and Holly. She put the doll in the jumper too.

It was like pulling teeth to get her to open her presents.


Grandma snuggling on the couch with her grandkids.


Finally we forced her to open the rest. She did quite well. A BYU shirt, a sound puzzle, books from Aunt AL, a toddler BOM and...
A stoller!!



Daddy and everyone else cheered her on. We aren't quite sure she is our kid anymore- waiting to open your presents is not a trait either of us possess.

Our Traditional Christmas Loot pic, we did well and barely fit it all in the car to come home.

With so many people in one house we decided it was time to take the kiddies out to play.
Londyn loves to jump around and we noticed a few of her cousins enjoyed it as well so we took them all to a bounce house heaven.

Caught these cute girls, Sami and Caroline on the slide.

Londyn loves tables and chairs, and her favorite is to jump off of them.

Weee

1-2-3... (I wish I would have ducked my head)

Big slide action

150 lb weight limit didn't stop Cody!


Love playing with Londyn.We had a great time and a great Christmas with Cody's family.
On our last night we all decided to go out to eat. Thanks to Gram and Pop we all got to splurge a little and try La Jolla Groves (also located in the riverwoods). We all got dressed up for some family pics and went out to eat. We welcomed Kamm and Holly's family back from France and we had to get as many family pics as we could as we don't know when we will all be together again.
Londyn and all the kids were good through dinner which made it very enjoyable.
The restaurant has a lemon grove theme and their specialty is lemon cake.
We went to the Provo Beach Resort to get a family pic and the kids got to ride the carousel. I love this pic of our niece Caroline.
Sami switched half way thru to the elephant!
Londyn loves to ride the carousel.

Shut. Up. Is that red beast of a car yours? I don't think we can be friends any more. At least not until we are making some more moo-la to keep up with the Kartchners!
