More Oklahoma!

Nice way to start Christmas morning huh?! Some nice warm milk! So to start this post off-I have had some problems with blogger being stupid while I was trying to compose it so I had to start new. I had everything written up and a really sweet heartfelt thing at the end but now it is basically just pic because I just want it done!!! (and sorry i dont have any pics of Luxie and Meadow opening presents because whenever I had the camera ready they werent opening anything and then it was hard to see them with kids and wrapping paper everywhere!)
The kids were all excited for Uncle Jeff to open his stocking. They had all gotten some coal along with some fun stuff so they were dying to know if he had gotten some too! and of course he did!
and he got this awesome shirt!! Most of the pics I got were from opening stocking stuff since it got really hectic after that!
Doesnt Eric look excited to up and passing out presents?! He really didnt have much room to complain since the kids didnt get up till after 7!
Dylan asked Uncle Eric to help him put together his Lego thing-how could he say no to that right?!
and Meadow asked Uncle Bryan to help her free a toy from its packaging.
Colby was having more fun with the boxes than playing with the toys he got!
One of the perks of being in Oklahoma was that while it was a little chilly it was still warm enough to go play outside! Here is Jeff capturing all the fun on video-it was hilarious!
Sarah started a tradition of new pajamas on Christmas Eve and wearing them all day on Christmas thats why they all match and look so cute! So we headed outside and it all started out nice and innocent with Bryan and Eric pitching to the kids.
Then they kids got bored and left to do other things-
--and that left the boys by themselves and with Bryan, Eric, Paul and Jeff that is a dangerous combination! It went from just pitching the ball to throwing it as hard as they could across the yard to someone and then throwing multiple balls at one time and then rapid fire.
and escalated to using this plastic pipe thing and putting the balls in and spinning so the balls fling out while someone tries to hit it! It was hilarious! And the most amazing thing was with all the kids running around no one got hurt!!
and for some reason whenever Paul was sitting on the flour he was fair game to jump on! They had been at this for like 10 minutes before I grabbed the camera.
it was such a fantastically fun time! I mean I love Bryan's family and Christmas with them is a lot of fun but there is just something about being with your own siblings that is just so much better! I totally miss those Goodrich Christmases. It was such a blast and I loved every moment of it! Love my sister, love my brother, and love Bryan for driving all the way down there!
