Christmas Day 2017

Christmas Day is here at last!  Santa left Jonny all things Moana and some new dresses.  He brought Atticus some books, clothes, and walkie-talkies, and a note that hinted at a bike waiting for him back in Boston.  Spoiled children.
Their little faces seeing what Santa left for them.
Jonny got a new Moana doll and some little Moana figurines.  Even some stuffed Pua and Hei-Hei animals.  There were also Christmas morning presents to open.  But all she cared about was her new books.  All morning long.
Atticus got Jonny some super hero capes (mostly so she'd stop stealing his) and she got him a magna doodle (So he'd stop stealing hers).  (Sibling love...)
Another newer Christmas tradition I love is taking sugar cookies (We leave them unfrosted along with a tub of frosting and butter knives) to the people who serve our communities by working Christmas Day (like hospitals, police stations, etc).  This year we took them up to the University Hospital to the doctors and nurses who took care of my dad during his stay there last month.
After we had finished opening our presents and taking the cookies that morning, we got to go to the Bronsons.  I'm terrible at taking pictures when we're there.  Probably because I trust Sheri, as she always takes wonderful photos when we're together.  I did however get this gem of Sheri on our nephew's new Hoverboard.
And this one of poor, sick, Nana Nae.  It was so sad.  She had some terrible flu and we barely got to see her the whole time we were there.  Fortunately though, she was able to keep the rest of us from getting sick with her precautions.
Papa Jon loves to give us a plethora of fun, random, and/or thoughtful gifts.  This year we got these hats as part of our gifts.
We had a perfect lazy day with the Bronsons.  Opening wonderful gifts, hanging out together, and eating.
The fancy earrings my children gave me.  I got three pairs this year.  Oh boy.
This was one of my favorite things the whole day.  Jonny was very interested in Eli's Rubik's Cube so she asked if she could have a look at it and offered him her new Moana doll as a trade.  It was adorable and Eli graciously accepted the offer.
Back home with all of their loot and his new bike that he was thrilled to get.  (My kids are far too spoiled by everyone.)
I had to get her attention away from the book to get her to smile.
Please enjoy this little stinker intentionally being a turd while I try and pry details of Christmas out of her.  And don't be fooled at all.  I'm not being the mean one.  She's being naughty to annoy me and she finds it hilarious.
