Brunch at the Grand

We had a fun time at the annual brunch at the Grand America with my Dad's side of the family



Family picture with Granna

Then we went to look at the Christmas windows and Christmas trees around the hotel, and the giant gingerbread house. 





The giant gingerbread house was incredible!

They had a sign with facts about the house - how much flour, sugar, man hours, etc. that it took to build it






Woah, a yeti!






Elves at Gardner Village

On the 27th was the annual family ski day. For those who were too young to go, we made a trip to Gardner Village. We had lunch at Archibald's, then did the elf scavenger hunt. They have little elf displays set up all over the village that are really cute and fun, and a scavenger hunt list that kids can mark off when they found certain elves.















Christmas Day

Reece had to work on Christmas eve, so we were glad to see him on Christmas day!

Evie brought "Shark vs Train" to read with the cousins

They thought it was pretty funny









I loved this cute kitty wrapping paper that Kate used!









There was a present that was addressed to all the kids. Inside was...a giant gummy bear!







There was a kitty on this wrapping paper pattern that looked just like Louis (Kate's kitty)!

Dad got some giant York peppermint patties!



The kids put on their Frozen costumes to show everyone. Evie was Anna

Nora was Elsa


and Sam was Kristoff

Sisters

The three kids!







Nora finally got her wiggly tooth out on Christmas! It was very exciting

Happy little Thomas in a box

The kids enjoyed taking turns trying out Thomas's new easel




In the evening, we watched a Hallmark movie called "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year", and Sam played the iPad. Hehe.
Merry Christmas!
