We had a great and blessed Christmas again this year.
First up was G&G Rikli's...
Stuffed animals are always a great present for Sam!
Joey started mowing the lawn last summer so he got a shirt with how he can start his own business :)
Bell got a dog cookie and little toy. She seemed very happy with the cookie.
Great picture of Sam and Bell both looking at the camera!
Joey got a bunch of basketball stuff. Glow in the dark ball, glow in the dark net and a headband.
Grandma got Joey's present by accident...haha!
Here is Bell enjoying her cookie...
Joey is all decked out...
Sam had a surprise larger gift. Joey helped so he couldn't peek.
An art table! Both boys have used this a lot so far!
Then it was time to go home and see if Santa had come.
He had! NBA2K20 for Sam and fishing tackle for Joey.
Opening their presents from us. Outdoor blankets, books (a survival guide for Sam and drawing animals for Joey), and a few other things.
The day after Christmas it was so nice that we went to the Madison zoo. It was a little chilly with just sweatshirts, but it was in the 40's so we will take it!
The red pandas were so cute..
Both boys wanted to be the gingerbread man, but Joey was a sport and went to the snowman.
We warmed up with some hot chocolate, and the polar bear spent the whole time walking back and forth in front of the window.
It was not a White Christmas so the boys got in more basketball playing outside. They tried out the glow in the dark ball. Hard to get good pictures, but it works really well for being able to see!
Joey had basketball practice, and there weren't many kids so all the coaches played in a game of 3:3.
Next up was Christmas at G&G Hyland's.
So much fun and so many presents!
Linus was really into present unwrapping this year.
Joey got a Giannis jersey, which he was super excited about!
The annual pictures in the chair in front of the tree. We made Sam laugh so we got a more real smile out him.
We had free passes to the Y so I took the boys over break. They had the half gym to themselves for a little over an hour. They thought it was great!
