Kevin, Shannah and Liam came by for a visit that night. The kids had a blast running around. Natalie and Liam took turns pushing each other and riding in the car. And they chased each other down the hall countless times. They were definitely having a good time.
The next day, everyone came over around 10:30 or so. Natalie was kind of grumpy (she had a bit of a cold AND she didn't nap on Christmas, never a good combo). Gifts were up first. This was the best picture I got of the four kids. I have one with Liam & Natalie looking at the camera, but Ryan has his eyes closed.
Can you tell she's tired??
Natalie got lots of doll toys and dress up clothes. Rhys got some fun new toys and a new wardrobe. We are set for a while now.
We had Mexican food for lunch this year. Since the plan was to have Christmas "at the beach" (aka, our house), someone came up with the idea of Hawaiian Shirts. The guys participated...
After lunch, we headed back home. Natalie was on her way to melt-down city, but luckily the car ride home wasn't too bad. Rhys has been a great traveller so far. We were able to make the drive in both directions without stopping this time. So nice to make it in one shot; when Rhys was younger it was taking an extra 40 min or so because we were having to stop and feed and change diapers and take a break from the car seat. Much better to be content for 2.25 hrs.
