Mize Country Christmas - 2013

We celebrated Christmas with the Mizes in the Country yesterday.  We did this so we can be home on Christmas Day so the kiddos can play with their Santa presents.

We had a great time and again, I have to brag on the kids.  They were terrific.  It was raining so they didn't get to play outside much but they were happy as can be playing inside and Erin made Pepaw and the boys watch Tinkerbell - Secret of the Wings.  (You can see it on the TV in the background in the picture of the 3 kids.)

The kids went first unwrapping presents.  We did it in age order per Jake's request...hmmmm.  They were very patient waiting for the kid in front of them to open presents.  Luke did some supervising of the others, but they were apparently performing up to snuff.  Erin did get ticked at him one time for his "help".  It was too funny.

When it was the adult time to open presents we had a good time watching the kids again.  They had so much fun unwrapping their own stuff that they "helped" us unwrap our stuff.  It was chaos, but the best kind of chaos.  I manned the trash bag to try and keep us from losing parts of toys and presents.  I think we were successful and made it home with everything in tack.
