Christmas 2013

Christmas is always a crazy and exhausting day because we wake up and open presents at home. Then we go to Steve's parents for breakfast and gifts. Then we go to Kim's parents for lunch and gifts. Then we go to the Tyndall's for Dinner and gifts. It's a non-stop stay that starts as early as 7:30 a.m. and ends as late as 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. Here are some pictures of our fun, but exhausting day.
 
Alissa opening her gifts at home Christmas Morning. These gifts are
all from Santa Clause. I can tell because Santa wrapped his gifts
in a different kind of paper than mommy and daddy.
 Alissa helped Kitara open her gift. Alissa picked it out.
 Here is Alissa with all her gifts including the ones from mommy and
daddy. The clothes were all from mommy and daddy.
 Daddy opening his Dr. Who Yahtzee that Mommy and Alissa picked
out for dad. We got him a Dr. Who Shirt, Star Wars Ornaments,
a Dr. Who Sonic Screwdriver, and some U2 books and DVD..
 Alissa wearing her new Doc McStuffins outfit
with slippers and stethoscope.
When we drove to Steve's parents house, Alissa insisted on 
wearing her new Scooby Doo Hat and bringing her 
Doc Mobile (wagon), Dr. Bag, and Doc McStuffins doll.
 Wow, a new Doc McStuffins Clinic from Grandma & Grandpa S. The x-ray machine has several slides and it lights up and talks; the pages turn on the Big Book of Booboo's  and it talks too, the tools all come off their hooks; and there is a scale, measuring chart, storage cabinets, and a sink.
Lambie is from Uncle Jake and Stuffy (dragon)
is from Grandma & Grandpa S.
 Mako is helping Alissa do a check-up on Lambie
