Our Second Christmas

On New Years Eve, the Kaiser family all gathered together to celebrate Christmas together. It was a good thing we got together a while before the ball dropped, because it took us about 3 hours to open all the gifts!

In my family, we take turns opening gifts one at a time. Time consuming, yes, but it's nice because then we can see what everyone has received.

This is everyone getting ready to open gifts

David patiently waiting for his turn to open a gift

Annie explaining her love of Pickle Pops. What? You don't know what that is? Well you will soon find out...

Michael reading a book he got about bugs and slugs. He loves it!

Helena and Kurt. Helena handmade gifts for everyone! They were most impressive. She has posts about them all on her blog. You should check them out!

These are Pickle Pops! Annie and Jimmy got one for everyone as part of their gifts. Annie just loves them, and so she wanted to share. So Helena got her that little basket full! (They are actually quite good)

Amber and Dave playing with some of the gifts they got

Jimmy got "The Office Clue" Very fitting as he was Dwight for Halloween :-)

David is excitedly opening his Rock Band

Dad and JoAnn wearing matching red, look at how cute they are!

Now everyone is admiring their gifts, and just hanging out. Everyone put a lot of thought into the gifts they gave, and everyone was very generous.

Thank you all again for the wonderful gifts, and welcoming spirit we received from the Kaiser and Magistro families! We had a great time celebrating with you all.

We had a simply wonderful second, and first, Christmas!

Ugh, you liked them? Pickle Pops are soooo gross!

Fun times! Though I do have to correct you (because David always corrects me)It's Guitar Hero NOT Rock Band... What's the difference, I have not idea but he is very adamant :)

P.s

It looks like Kurt is sitting on Annie's lap! I hope Helena is okay with it :)
