Well when we arrived last night Molly and all the kids boys were in bed! So the kids were ecstatic to see them all this morning. And they were all ready to go immediately.
They couldn't believe that all of their elves were playing cards together.
And before long we were busy opening gifts. I will say; it was so chaotic I couldn't tell you what anyone other than my kids got for gifts. But I guess that is all that matters. Once the kids were done; we sent them away to play so we could open adult gifts. They didn't stay away long though.
Then it was time to head outside and play and help Papa clear the driveway. Had to snow blow half the driveway and then move all the cars around and do the other half. Was definitely a group effort. And the kids built a tunnel and attempted some sledding too.
Then in the afternoon, Nana arranged a babysitter (Aunt Amanda, my sister)! And us adults got locked in a room and had to find our way out in less than an hour based on clues and hidden messages. Sadly we did not succeed. But it was a challenge and fun.
Then we came back just in time for some more snow to arrive. So we snuggled in and played some games and hung out. Fun as always. Kids had a blast together and passed out early.
Eddie was done with pictures; he looks like he is in pain.
And our annual family picture! Was much nicer last year getting to do it outside...but this year it was dark and we didn't care to hang out in the many inches of snow. But we were successful.
Rowan and the boys...
