Christmas, Christmas, and More Christmas

The Weber's packed up to car and headed to Holstein Tuesday after I got off work and Luke got back from the doctor for meds for pink eye and ear infection. Ahhhh! Oh and Of course we had not had any snow all December and then day when I wanted to leave the white stuff was flying! Iowa got more than we did, but it wasn't enough to keep us off the road. We stopped to say hello to great grandma and grandpa Hammer in Cherokee. 

We got to grandma Lori's and the fun began! 

Wednesday we stopped by great grandmas and the boys played some piano music for us all to enjoy! 

The trio Luke, Ethan, and Drew reunited for more fun.

Christmas Eve at grandma Lori's is always filled with yummy food, gifts galore, church, and laughs. This year didn't disappoint in any of those areas!

Luke opened his stocking and was satisfied with his "drader" tractor.

The beginning of the turtle stuff for Ethan.

Mickey!

The family photo before church.

More aggressive this time!

My ninja!!! 

Luke loved his new dyson vacuum! 

Brad guessing who got him new shoes.

Love love this! Grandma with her blonde hair blue eyes grandsons!!

Christmas Day was a chill out day. Ronnie was obsessed with going out to play in the snow. He squeezed into these snow pants.

Dad and son snow ball fight.

Ethan opted to stay inside and play Sorry! We played this about 20 times in 2 days. The first game we all took it easy on him, by the 3rd game that was over because he was kicking our rears!

Then right when we were headed out the door to great grandma's I noticed Luke was breaking out in hives!! Pretty scary, but was a reaction to new antibiotics. He stayed back and snuggled with dad.

This pic breaks my heart!!

The big boys hanging out. 

 More music by Ethan!

Harry helping Ethan make his Dino sticker scene. I love Steve in the background. I have memories of Steve always reading the Holstein paper when he came down. It was great chatting with Renea, Ronda, grandma, and Katie. I love those chats every year. This year was fun talking about Katie's big news, having a baby in July!! Can't wait to be an aunt again!

 

Special group of people in this photo!

What do you know, Ronnie out in the snow before it melts. He did make a cute snowman without any gloves. Drew called all the snowmen Olaf. It was adorable! Snowball fight!

Ronda got a snowball to her rear.

Having fun!

Back and grandma Lori's these cuties eating popcorn and watching a movie in grandma's bed. 

Friday we headed out to the farm to grandpa and Connie's.

These 2 were belly up to the kid table for lunch! Later in the day Liz and her kids came out. Of course we got to talking and catching up we didn't think to snap a photo! Her 3 are so cute! 

Great grandma and Ronda playing with the little ones!

The stockings were hung....  

Now that is a table full of cuteness!

Ethan excited to sit at the big kid table! Ha

Couldn't hold these kids back anymore.

Such adorable photos. If you can't read the stockings, the boys have one (Kate is missing) and grandpa has one, the grinch. Haha the grinch is pretty giving though. 

The following are precious too! I'm so glad my grandma is able to be a part of my boys' lives. She is one in a million. Luke sat and opened his gifts with her. It was adorable. 

 

Ethan and Connie opening gifts.

 Luke loves boxes. I think I will skip gifts for his birthday and go straight to giving him a box.

 

 Of course Luke would be the one standing on the chair!

 Big kids liked them, too!

Grandpa got a snowball fight kit. It was game on! Shields and all!! Ronda getting in on the action.  Grandpa, Kelby and Beau vs. Ethan. It was wild.

Ethan taking a break with great grandma. You can see him sweating!

These 2 just watching some shows! 

Back home. Can you say spoiled kids and exhausted kids. That is a backseat full of gifts and tired kids. Oh the memories we made this Christmas! 

When we got home it was Santa time. I videoed most of it and of course used up my storage and had no memory for more pictures. You can't really tell kids to pause and wait for me to delete photos so I can take more. So, here is the one I got of Santa gifts. Ethan got the whole NFL lineup of mini figurines and Luke got a kickball set from Santa.

That's a wrap!! What a great 5 busy days. Wouldn't trade spending time with our families for anything.  So blessed this Christmas! Miss everyone already! Merry Christmas!
