We are having an awesome weekend with Jon's family. Yesterday was our Christmas celebration and everyone had such a fun time. The kids have really enjoyed playing with their cousins. Gift opening was a riot and the kids just LOVED everything they got. Kendrick kept asking if there were anymore gifts for him under the tree. Aimee was poker face the whole time as I think it was all very overwhelming for her. Ella would exclaim how much she just loved her gifts. At one point she told Grandma that it was "Just what I wanted"!
We had our traditional meal of Prime Rib and even the kids enjoyed some of that. After dinner we sang Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus and then had some cake to celebrate. After our Birthday celebration we loaded all the kids up in our van (including the cousins Eric and Emily) and then headed out to see some Christmas lights. We all had a great time singing Christmas songs, looking at all the pretty lights, and then ended the light tour with making various farting noises and all of us laughing so hard.
When we got back I told the Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle that we get to take all the kids again next year because it was so much fun!!!
We went to church this morning and it was such a nice service. Lots of Christmas music to sing. Then the kids even got to go to "Sunday School" with Uncle Chris, Aunt Lori, and Cousin Eric. They really enjoyed that as well.
We are so blessed to have such awesome family. It is so much fun to watch the kids really enjoy their cousins. It will be hard to say goodbye tomorrow and head back home. This is another "Erickson Family Christmas" to remember.
