I love that we live so close to our families, but it can also make for a crazy holiday trying to coordinate schedules. This Christmas we opted to spend Christmas morning at home opening gifts and eating breakfast with Grandma and Grandpa Wooskie. Zander got a Radio Flyer scoot bike from Santa and a Yo Gabba Gabba radio, Elmo pjs, Magna Doodle, and puzzles from us.
After breakfast, we headed to the Merrills to open gifts and eat another breakfast. They spent the morning feeding the homeless in Phoenix like we've done the previous two years. Santa (aka Mamma Merrill) always out does himself each year. I got an awesome panini maker and cookbook. Devin got a camping lounge chair and tools to finally start a tool kit for himself. Zander got more Elmo and Yo Gabba stuff. He is in absolute heaven with all his new stuff.
After the Merrills, we headed back home to finish the evening with the Powells and Mum & Al. We had a delicious dinner and then enjoyed football, watching Zander dance, and remembering why we celebrate Christmas.
