Christmas with the Sperling's

Every year for Christmas we rotate which family we will be with on Christmas Eve and Day.  This year it was Micah's turn to be home for Christmas.  December 19 we made our way north to Wagoner to spend a week with the Sperling family.  Micah's brothers family also joined us in Wagoner and we had a great time playing, eating, talking, and spending quality time together. And of course, opening presents. A couple days before Christmas, Micah's grandparents and a couple uncles families came to spend the day and hang out. I don't get to see Grandma and Grandpa Stucky very often and this was their first time to meet Jake and Evan.  It was so nice to get to see everyone again.

The day the extended family came was a beautiful day.  We spent some time hanging out outside playing games, playing in the dirt (the kids), and playing with Max the dog.  It was so nice to spend some time outdoors before it got too cold.

Once the extended family was gone we spent more time hanging out and opening presents.  We played games, goofed off, made doughnuts, scared the kitty cats, and just generally had a good time.

Christmas Eve we opened a couple presents and got the boys in their matching pjs and took some pictures.  Christmas morning we opened more presents, read the Christmas story, and enjoyed Jacob's first Christmas.   Of course he is a little young to really enjoy Christmas but he did enjoy pulling paper off the presents and then trying to eat it.  Jake was extremely blessed with some great toys including his very own exersaucer. Micah was tricky enough to pull of a surprise gift for me (which I love) and get me a watch I wasn't expecting. Love it!  Micah also decided to start a tradition of getting Jacob legos every year for Christmas.  I'm thinking it's really just an excuse for Micah to play with legos.  What a wonderful Christmas.
