The finale- Part 6

We had 2 days to unpack and repack before extending the Christmas craziness to the Weber clan!! Oh yeah, throw in an ear infection for Luke, puking flu for Ethan, and a check up in the cities for Luke in those 2 days. CRAZINESS!!!!

With the sickness we were a day short on our arrival to the Weber Farm. That just meant we had to squeeze even more memories into the time we were there!! We did Christmas at noon and New Years Eve celebration at night! 2 parties in one day!
Kathy does a super job on all the details of everything. Food. Decor. Everything. She really takes care of us when we get there! We never leave hungry!! We kind of sit back and relax and attempt to keep the kids in control! It is so fun watching the Weber girls, and the Dreiling kids play with our boys. It's fun to see them get excited to play with Ethan and Luke even though they are younger. They play so well all together. Again, we are sooo blessed with amazing families!

I also have to keep Brad in control. haha 
The Weber's are very festive... Santa hats for all!

 It's always great to see Lillian each time we go out there. She was brave to hold the gigantic Luke! He sure looks happy in her lap!

 Papa plays. And plays. And plays some more with the kids.

 Lexi snags Ethan and the two are attached at the hip until we leave. She is so good to him!

Present time. We enjoying opening one gift at a time. It's nice to see what all 7 of the kids get! 

 Starting with the youngest. Luke.

 After Jacob was Ethan!

 Planes!

 Older girls taking care of Ethan. They are the sweetest!

 Aidan trying to contain the craziness of Luke.

 Ethan loving on grandma!

 Solution to Luke- BOXES.  Luke loved playing in the boxes. It was a great distraction from paper eating!

 A very special boxful!

 Hugs from Papa!

 Ethan was SO excited for his COMBINE!!

Once Luke started with the boxes there was no stopping.

 Funny that the box had that written on it........

 With this guy inside! 

 Once again the Weber's supplied us with some great gifts!

Switching to New Year's Eve mode:

 What a precious couchfull!! Too sweet for words!

Ethan and Jacob keeping a careful eye on the cupcake clock!

Ethan got to stay up with the BIG kids for New Years. Adults were so worn out we tried pretending that the ball dropping in New York was our official New Year too, well, we have some VERY smart older cousins that weren't going to allow 11:00 be the only celebration! So, they all stayed up until midnight.

Cheers cousins!!

  

Can't wait to spend 2014 with this guy!!!

 

 The boys were heavy on the horns. Yes, Luke slept through it all!

 New Year's day Luke got to wear his hat, too!

This picture is the best conclusion to the CHRISTMAS CRAZINESS post! And...we are spent! Food in hand, exhaustion from all the fun!!
What a Christmas it was!! I cannot wait to enjoy every bit of 2014 with our family of 4 and extended family as well.
 Thanks for making 2013 one of the best years ever! WE are TRULY blessed!
Cheers to the New Year everyone!!!
