After opening our presents up Christmas morning, we drove down to Ainsworth to celebrate with all of the Ossmans. The Minnesota cousins had all spent the night, and Grandma Dee bought matching elf pajamas for the big kids. The kids had a great time with their cousins. Edith was not too interested in opening presents or playing with them. She is always just happy when she is included in the action. Alena got a new stuffed owl. It now sleeps in her bed on a pillow along with Sita the Cheetah. Nora loved receiving Monopoly Jr, and Edith got some squeaky eggs.
Our next Christmas was a couple of days later at Grandma Diane's house. She had a large pile of beautifully wrapped gifts. The cousins had to wait a couple hours before we opened them and they were getting anxious to start. Alena got new walkie talkies that all of the cousins enjoyed sharing. Nora got a darling new dance outfit and a dance bag. Edith got a little singing and dancing robot named Beatbo, and all of the girls got an expansion pack of magna tiles so we can play more Edith Smash!
Gisele was very pregnant but not due until January. She said she had always thought he would be born December 27th. As she said that on December 27th at 6 pm, I felt it was pretty unlikely. But it wasn't long! Vincent was born the next day!
