We were able to celebrate Christmas with both sides of the family this year. The way Christmas fell on a Friday made it a four day weekend for Jason, so we went to my mom's house for Christmas Eve then drove to Safford on Christmas day after we opened presents at home.
Christmas Eve at Grandma Welker's:
With 16 grandkids it was a little crazy to say the least...
For Christmas Grandma is taking us all to Disneyland in the Spring, so to tell the kids; she gave each of the girls Minnie Mouse pajamas and each of the boys got a sleep shirt that said...I'm smiling because we're going to Disneyland. They each got their own stuffed Minnie or Mickey Mouse too.
Christmas at home:
Santa brought each of our kids something to ride this year...
Carter got a Razor scooter.
And Mila got a tricycle.
We had a nice time in Safford. The kids got to open more presents from Grandma and Papa Nelson. They even got Zhu Zhu pets which Terry had bought long before they were hard to find. I'm so mad that I don't have any pictures of them opening their gifts there... Jason got me a new camera for Christmas and my old memory card wouldn't transfer the pictures to my computer, so I lost them all. (I now have a new memory card, but I'm still trying to figure out how to use my beastie, but awesome camera...)
On Saturday we went up to Mt. Graham to play in the snow. No more than 30 seconds after the kids got out of the car, Carter and Leah were both crying because their hands were hurting. (They were throwing snowballs with no gloves...) They have never been in real snow like that before. It was like somebody cut off their fingers. Leah was screaming and kicking, and Carter was rolling on the floor of our van like a fish crying his eyes out. We told them to put gloves when they got out of the car, but they didn't listen... After all the chaos died down and they were able to warm up their hands, we were able to play for a while. Leah and Mila chose to stay in the warm car.
Good times...
