Since there are so many people, the last 3 years, we've celebrated Christmas with the Lach adults one night with a nice dinner and gift exchange. It makes Christmas Eve about the kids, and cuts down on about half of the gifts to open in one night. I, however, didn't bring my camera this year. So, no pictures to post.
Christmas #2: Woodard Christmas
With my Dad, Mom, and Kristin not living here, it was my family and my sister, Kara. This was the first of the gifts for the kids and they really enjoyed opening. This year, they both "got" it.
Kara, the spoiler, bought way too many gifts for her niece and nephew!!
The kids each got a fun dress-up trunk from Grandpa Jim and Aunt Kristin.
The kids opening my gift from my whole family.
My new mixer! I LOVE IT!!
Christmas #3: Christmas Eve with the Lach gang
We went to church, then to Grandma & Grandpa's for supper. After we finished eating, the kids opened their gifts.
Blurry, but we have proof we were there. :)
This year, it was Hudson's turn to lay baby Jesus in the manger.

Later that night...
We put out snacks for Santa and his reindeer.
Santa got pretzel hugs and chocolate milk.
The reindeer got carrots, bread and water.
SANTA CAME!!
He even left stockings for Mommy and Daddy!
They must have enjoyed their snack.
Drinks were gone, too.
Hudson got a Leapster Explorer from Santa.
Delaney got a doll house from Santa.
We stayed in our pajamas the WHOLE day! Christmas at home was nice and relaxing. Here we are eating out steak and cheesy potatoes by candle light.
(And, Hudson needed to eat the Frosty that he spied leftover in the freezer.)
We had a wonderful holiday season and can't believe how fast it flew by!
