Love this pic of Elliot..

Everyone got in on the action, a perfect way to spend a Sunday Afternoon while Dad is gone to Church Meetings.

My Kids LOVE This event, and talk about it year round!

As always, a fun time was had by all!

Lorelei spent the party watching Brave with Aunt Tiff and Owen… When it was completed she walked around the house like this:

Happy 10th Birthday Tuck, I think this was your best party yet!

It’s always exciting to return back home to play with toys at home, after being away on Christmas Morning!

The kids loved being able to get the toys out and the batteries in! 🙂

Lorelei wanted to open her castle:

Elliot was so excited about his remote control car and Loop-de-Hoop Race track set:

And the big kids ran right to the wii to play Skylanders, and Truman’s new Imaginext Castle, and asked me to stop taking pictures and video of them. It’d been a ‘picture-y’ few days, I understood.

And later that night, using Truman’s Nerf Gun shooting at a target and Tucker 🙂

Opening Presents.

At the time we didn’t know this would be our last Christmas with our dear Grandpa Greene.
What a blessed day.

Rotating Holiday’s means we always miss someone! This year, we had our own personal ‘date’ with the Great Hunsakers.

We only have one video, the others got deleted when my phone malfunctioned during upload 🙁
One is better than none, I guess! 🙂
Lorelei opening her present:

Here are a few of my favorite pics:
Lorelei LOVES her princess Castle:

Truman got an awesome SOCCER book, that’s all about everything.

and Tucker was thrilled to get his BB Gun. Great Grandpa Hunsaker said this was the same gun he had when he was a boy.

How Grateful we are to have the Great Hunsakers in our lives!

A tradition from my childhood… the first present you open on Christmas Eve is your Christmas Outfits. (because honestly when else is opening a present of clothes fun, when you’re a little boy? 🙂 )

And our Christmas Eve Picture. This day the sun was so bright, you can’t even see the tree in the background! 🙂
