Hey, hey! Happy Monday friends!!! So, we're two weeks past Christmas, and I promise this is my last Christmas post! We just had lots of celebrating this year and I want to make sure it's all on the blog because one day, I know I'll want to look back at it all!
While we were in Branson, we celebrated Christmas with DJ's dad and stepmom. They were so sweet to meet us there and bring all of the presents! And, I tried to get as many pictures as I could, but I didn't get as many as I would have liked- ha!

DJ is a huge Cubs fan. They gifted him a replica championship ring, a poster, and some other fun gadgets to use around the house!
All of the girls received a fun little scarf!
And they gave Gretchen the best little gift! A bowl full of baking supplies, little spatula's, cake mixes, and a Paris apron! She loves being in the kitchen with me!
Back in October, Megan asked for the Paw Patrol Sea Patrol boat and was STOKED when she opened it!!! She was so excited! It was the most random gift that she asked for, she rarely even watches Paw Patrol, but I'm pretty sure she had seen it on a You Tube video and decided that she needed it!
They got Adalyn a little diaper bag and baby pac-n-play, which she loves, and was perfect for her. And they gave me a beautiful pair of earrings and some fun little gadgets- like a wine bottle cork thing- holla!
DJ's mom met us toward the end of our Branson trip, and we waited until we were home to open presents with her.
Except, she did let DJ open his presents early because she couldn't wait any longer! She gave him a sign of all the universities he's worked for, and it has room for us to add on more, should we have to move in the future.
She gave Gretchen a Project Mc2 notebook, which Gretchen had been asking for!
Megan and Gretchen both received lego sets.
Megan and Adalyn both received baby dolls.
We're dubbing this Christmas the Christmas of the babies, because that's all the girls really wanted!
And we spoiled Nana with a gift card, and gave her a little gold ring, that had an elephant carved out of it. Elephants were her mother's favorite animal, so we thought she could wear it and think of her mother.
On New Year Eve we headed to a friend's house for a fun party!
The girls instantly dressed up, and later we found them all in leotards because they were playing gymnastics!
Our hostess, had an amazing fortune teller, Esmerelda, and she told all of the kids their fortunes and gave them a scratch off fortune card for 2018.
And, we had lots of fun in the photo booth!
The girls all made little crowns.
And we toasted at midnight (eastern time)
It was a wonderful way to ring in the New Year!!!
