A Very Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!  Here's the (far too detailed! :) ) rundown of our Christmas.  We started with stocking opening...
 
...and an attempt at brother pictures in front of the tree...
 
Grant tested out the straw glasses from Uncle Steve and Aunt Alex:
 
Then after breakfast, we went for a family picture, complete with the classic fireplace fire on the TV (and now everyone gets to see my footie pajamas...)...
 
Then we opened lots of presents.  Grant helped Kyle open his new keg for homebrewing and he told Kyle it was something for him to put his coffee in...guess technically we do home brew our coffee, too...
 
Transformer ABC's (along with Rescue Bots and Legos with people) were Grant's big wishes for this year, and fortunately, Santa came through for him:
 
Hayes opened these stacking robots and immediately set them up as bowling pins (the other highlight of Hayes' gifts from Santa was a "medium sized" Thomas train that's remote controlled):
 
After lunch, Isabelle and the family arrived.  When these little ones are full grown, it'll be interesting to look back at this picture and see how the height differences have changed (I hope! ;) )!
 
The boys had two new riding toys to 'open' outside:
 
Both were a big hit:
 
 
And for the grand finale, we fully and properly broke in our new dining room table with a big family dinner, complete with paper crowns (...next year we'll have to do the group pictures after the crowns are on!):
