Christmas Overload

Feeling pressed for time, I have not separated these into a number of posts, but instead you are getting one GIGANTIC posting of all Christmas activities. Happy viewing...

MERRY CHRISTMAS.
We started off with a trip to Leavenworth (a small, Bavarian themed, village in North central Washington with a lot of charm).  Strolling about, window shopping was the first order of the afternoon and we ended the visit with a lovely meal at a restaurant called Visconti's.
Eric and Gunnar.

 When staying at Nana's, one must take a bubble bath in the massive tub and turn on the jets so that bubble mania may ensue!


Nana Christmas tradition: the russian olive spicedrop tree.  So festive, in addition to being rather tasty.

CHRISTMAS MORN
Stockings.

You must think he lives in this thing...

Do your kids love "noodle balls" as much as mine?

I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast, here are the girls and Auntie Staci whipping up the frosting.

Christmas dress courtesy of Aunty Cheryl, christmas cheesy grin compliments of Miss LindyJean.

Nana and the Sagebrush Tree strikes again.

LindyJean is either looking away, torturing Gunnar, or making absurd faces in all photos at this point.

More torturing Gunnar.

That's just plain gross.

Bitty is awash with Christmas morning joy!

Opening gifts.

Nana bought them each terrifically adorable sweaters. 

Staci and I received some lovely kitchen accesories.

 GUNS & AMMO...
 Because what kind of Hunter family gathering would it be without firearms?
JoMama (still in her Pajamas, mind you) shooting the 9 mm.

Auntie Staci gives it a go-round.

Yeah for Aunty Staci and fourwheeler rides!!!

What a fabulous Christmas! There are so many memorable traditions! The kids all look so cute and happy! I especially like the cheese ball grin from LindyJean.

I really like the spice drop tree! Not so much the sagebrush . . . We'd be sneezing all holiday long!
