We started the Christmas celebrations by driving to Carrollton, IL on Friday afternoon. Aunt Debbie had Christmas at her new place this year. We also got to see Papa & Grandma's new house in Carrollton that they signed the papers on the same day!
Brad provided a riding mower and Lester painted it pink and wrote "PT's Cruiser" on the side! Teresa said the girls shined it up for Pat. She can drive this from Debbie's to her new house! Too cute!
We spent Christmas Eve at Papa's house. Ivy got her gift from us right away. A new baby bed with high chair & nursery! She loved it!
Ollie brought the truck he got from Aunt Debbie to Papa's house to show it off! He just loves that truck!
Ollie got a 3-D Spongebob puzzle from Aunt Erin. This should be interesting!
Papa got a blue tooth for his truck!
Grandma Pati got a Santa in a Swimming suit ornament (it is the year of the pool!) and a Kohl's gift card.
Batman GeoTrax!!!
Ivy got a book and said "it is a book!" when she opened it.
Ollie talked Bill & Daddy into helping put his Geotrax together.
Aunt Erin & Uncle Kevin got a Laptop!
Pati got a new mixer.
Ivy got a box of dress up clothes! She really loves the necklaces and the shoes!
Chris got some motorized decoys.
Pati got a concrete block that says "Pati's Pool"
Ivy liked "helping" with the trax. She kept saying "I elp you, I elp you" and taking them apart!
This is what we came home too. So pretty! Out street was lit up with the milk cartons too!
Ollie slept in the car and then was awake until 9:30 when we got home. At one point I thought he was asleep and he suddenly says "I just love Christmas!!!" About 10 min later he was sound asleep - finally! Santa had work to do!
Ollie woke up around 6:30 on Christmas morning.
The Lego City Space Shuttle!!!! Just what he wanted!
Bella got a new bone and a ball on a rope! She really liked her bone!

After we opened up the boxes and put batteries in everything it was time to move on to Maw Maw's house!
Ollie got a Hulk Hogan costume!
He couldn't wait for Aunt Erin to get there so he started on his stocking!
A new chair for his playroom!!! This one reclines!
A new computer!!!
Ivy is checking out Ollie's presents while pushing her new shopping cart around.
Ollie got a new box to put all of his costumes in! He also got a Captain America costume!
Hey Ivy watch out for the presents! She likes feeding her baby. That used to be her momma's baby doll.
Ollie finally got a scarf! He has been wanting one since he keeps seeing me put mine on every morning.
Maw Maw got a Kindle Fire from Papa Stu!
Papa Stu got a new Leather coat!
Uncle Kevin is trying out his new video camera!
Maw Maw also got a bag of coal and a diamond necklace from Papa Stu! Ollie just thinks it is hilarious that she got a bag of coal!!!
After presents Daddy started making breakfast. We had French toast and bacon. There were also lots of muffins! Ollie, Papa Stu & Maw Maw were checking out his new play-do set.
Christmas afternoon we went to Aunt Barbara's. Ollie talked Aunt Barb into letting him open his present from her. He got a Fireman!
Ivy got a Dora phone!
Time for shots already? They are doing shots of a $60 bottle of tequila!
New Years Eve day...we spent the morning at home except to go out to U City to pick up our race packets for tomorrow's race. We met Aunt Erin & Ivy at McDonald's to play. It was in the 50's while we were there and they opened up the outside play area for us! Ollie helped Ivy get to the top car and go down the big slide!
We spent the afternoon taking down the Christmas lights. We broke out the "party drink" for dinner! Ollie really knows how to party! He wanted orange hair and has already started taking his clothes off! I wonder if he will make it until midnight? I wonder if I will make it until midnight?
We broke out the party poppers around 8:00. Then we skyped with Maw Maw & Papa Stu for a bit. Then it was time to watch New Year's Rockin Eve. Justin Bieber was on!!! He was disappointing though since he did not sing one of his own songs!
It's a little after ten now and we are thinking of just watching the New York ball drop at 11 and then heading to bed. We will see...Ollie is winding down now. Happy New Year everyone!!!
