Merry Christmas! We've had a busy, fun-filled, action-packed Holiday. We started the festivities on Christmas Eve with the Kuhlman family. There was tons of food, singing, Wii (even Linc tried to play), and visiting. Lincoln, Ava and Mason (cousins) are all about the same age and had lots of fun playing together. I think they ran every inch of the hotel! Linc and Ava shared a hug. (Yes, I'm hugely pregnant in the background!)
The windows at Solana are always a hit! This was the best place for Peek The Boo, as Lincoln says it.
The kids really had much fun together, and Lincoln was beat! (He ended up in bed with Mommy at 3:00 am after waking up in a strange place. It's only his second time in the bed with us, and it didn't go well. Good thing we could squeeze in a nap later!)
Taking a break with Pops, and giving a trademark "look"!
After opening Santa presents and having a family nap, Mommy and Daddy prepared Christmas Dinner for Minnie, Bubbles, Ally, Nana and Pops. We were so glad everyone could join us for the feast! I didn't take a picture of the desserts, but we had oreo cheesecake and pecan pie cups. Yummy!
We opened lots of presents as the night went on and found lots of cool things to play with! Present-opening is pretty slow with Linc because he doesn't like to tear the paper. I'm always telling him not to tear paper (like pages in a book), so he wasn't sure why it suddenly was ok to do it! Also, he wanted to play with each thing right away. You know how crazy hard it is to get toys out of their packaging, right? Somethings he just had to play with in the box while we worked on getting other things out!
In the case of one present, he needed to wear it right away! He put on his new Elmo shirt right over the shirt he was wearing at the time! I must admit I wore a new gift or two right away myself! In case you're in need of a demolition man . . . Linc is prepared! Hard hat - check! Safety goggles - check! Hammer - check! Super cute smile - check!
Taking a present break to look at a new book from Ally!
Ally and I did a bit of experimenting and made oreo balls, and I definitely recommend them! We all took turns cooking and tasting over the last few days. 
We had a wonderful holiday and are ready to relax and enjoy the next few days. We've got tons of new toys to play with, books to read, outfits to model, and gadgets to try. Kevin is quite excited about his new stand mixer and drill. He had them both completely examined, plugged in, charged and tested within minutes of opening them! Baby Beau wasn't left out of the festivities. He received several cute things and responded with lots of kicks and squirms. Pardon me, but sometimes I think his little foot is about to come right out of me! I don't know how he can kick in the places he does, but he's pretty amazing. I'm sure he enjoyed all of the food and laughs. We were blessed with so many wonderful memories and fun times this holiday season. The Freemans left today, and we're working on getting back into the routine of things. I'm afraid Mommy and Daddy are pretty boring compared to the past few days!
