Holiday fun – Round 5: Christmas with Grandma, Mom-mom and Pop-pop




So last year it was decided that it was going to be too much chaos for all of us to try and do all gifts for all kids from my family in one event so we split things up a bit. It was really nice and went well so we decided this was how things needed to go at least until the triplets get a little older and understand more about taking turns opening presents.

This year we were spending Christmas Day here in Raleigh and Nana would be with us so we started our fun a little early. Monday morning my Mom and Grandparents arrived for the first round of fun with us. The boys weren’t getting any ‘fun’ presents this go round, just the clothes we asked for.We started out with a little visit and then got to the gifts.








Anthony and Graham reading with Pop-pop


Chase showing Mom-mom his new Kindle from Meme and Popi


Our homemade (by someone) gift from Aunt Lindsey, Uncle Nate and all the girls! First time any boys would slow down enough for me to get a picture! They also all got monkey themed books to go along with them! LOVE!


Jack showing off his personalized Mickey Mouse shirt - we ALL got them....reason to come soon! If you really need me to explain that is!




We enjoyed ourselves and then had a little pre-Christmas brunch before everyone went their separate ways for afternoon naps. The boys and Jason and I waited for Nana’s arrival and I went to Mass with my Mom and Grandparents that night. 

We waited on pins and needles for the arrival of Santa later that night and we tried to keep things as normal as possible for the boys (like that is possible with the revolving door of fun that is the holidays! Because of that, my annual Christmas Eve picture in pajamas looked a little like this!



Not the smiling boys I got last year and we needed props to keep them all in one place this year!




The next morning, more fun began……stayed tuned to read about that adventure because the cousins and Uncle Matt and Aunt Jen join in the fun with everyone else!
