Christmas #4

We spent the day with just my immediate family and had lots of fun!

The cousins

We opened gifts from one another. Augustine got lots of fun things to play, including more legos. 

Lewis got a lot of fun activities too...and finally his own LEGO set that he actually built himself! His big brother answered his questions, but he did the work himself!

I think Elias finally understands opening gifts. He would open one and then play quite a while before opening the next. It was lovely. 

Cousin Thomas spent the whole day playing with Elias. He gets major points. I can’t count all the wheelbarrow rides, shoulder rides, wrestling matches, and games they played. You’re a good big cousin, Thomas!

What more can a garbage truck loving toddler want?! He loaded all the paper up and dumped it into Grandpa’s hopper. 

Here’s the hopper. Grandpa gets a shout out too for curbing the daily morning fit by going for a walk in the rain with Elias. 



Grandma had lots of fun in store for us. We played family feud, attempted a 2000 piece puzzle, and took turns cooking delicious food.  The highlight though was the gingerbread house decorating. 

Augustine is really getting good at piping frosting. He also did some nice fondant work. 

Elias enjoyed it, but didn’t work for long because there was playing to be done. 



Logan was a good sport. There aren’t many things funnier to watch than Logan trying to have (mandatory) craft fun. He really did try to be creative!

Augustine had the cool idea of a flag on top. 

Lewis made a very fancy roof! He is also good at piping the frosting. 

He worked for a long time and his house turned out very cute!

I made a house too. Then everyone was supposed to title their own house, as well as one other person’s house. 

I titled mine, and Logan added to it. 

Lots of people titled Logan’s, my suggestion being on the left there. 

And Elias’ day wouldn’t be complete without a story read by Thomas!
