Early Christmas!



On Saturday we had our early Christmas. In the morning we were on the webcam with Grandma Colleen in New York so she could see Oliver and Mikayla open their presents. Then at 4pm Grandpa Ray and Grandma Sandy came over along with Sandy's kids and their kids!! So, we had 9 adults and 7 kids here in total :)) It was chaos but in the best way. When the presents came out we could barely see our floor for gifts, paper and cardboard!! Oliver was really in the swing of things this year - he would open one present and then say "more" :)) And, yes, he still has more to open. We saved gifts from us and other friends and family and we're spreading them out over the week. Yesterday he got a new truck from Granddad Graham which is a big hit. All he wants to do is put the cars on the truck and then take them off again (it's a hauler). Might be time for another present tomorrow to save my sanity, ha ha!!

We are getting ready for the big trip on Friday. The suitcases are out and I've started packing. Still have a ton of stuff to do but we'll get there. Look out for a new update and lots of UK pics when we get back in the New Year :)) Merry Christmas everyone!!!
