Archer Christmas

Blessed to be able to celebrate another Christmas with family.  We tend to do the same things but Keara stated that was just all a part of the tradition. She even went through every little thing we do.  It made Mom happy to hear it means a lot to her. 

We missed having Mark around but it was so much more important that he be with his wife on their first Christmas together.  He defiantly surprised her by showing up in Scotland unannounced. 

Had an amazing breakfast and got to clean the kitchen faster this year because Poppy finally sprung for a new dishwasher.  What a treat to now have that!

Again we were spoiled by Grammy and Poppy's generosity.  That said, Keara wins the prize for best gifts.  Her homemade gifts make us all look bad.  Next year we are making her go last. 

Kevin came mid-afternoon and we all enjoyed a turkey dinner. Some more gifts were opened and Mark and Caroline skyped in to see the boys open their gifts.  There is always humor in what gets given.  This year the boys got some posters that Mark picked out especially for them (Wonder Woman, Catnis and a Star Wars one).  I gave the boys a nose basketball game that provided hours of entertainment.

The cousins don't get to see each other that often so begged Grammy for a sleepover.  She wasn't prepared but who could say no to those faces.  They had a great time.
