Christmas with the Fowles

After presents and breakfast at our house, we headed over to Dan and Nancy's house for our Christmas celebration with the Fowle clan.  Nathan brought his new limousine so he could show everyone his favorite gift from Santa.  

One of the great things about Florence and Basil moving back to Michigan is that we are able to celebrate holidays with them.  They moved to Florida the summer before the first Christmas Todd and I spent together, so although he grew up having them at Christmas, it was my first time having them there.  We hung out with Flo, Basil, Nancy and Dan while waiting for Stuart and Erin to make their trek across the state to join us (they are such troopers for traversing the state to make sure they're there for important family gatherings on both sides of the family).

Once they arrived, Jordan joined in the fun, and we all dug in to the present opening.  Jord, Nancy and Dan all cooked us a delicious Christmas dinner of roast chicken root vegetables and fruit salad.  It was a super relaxing and fun day.

Nathan and Florence--they always have so much fun playing together.


Awwww

Present opening time!

Aunt Erin and Natalie--such cuties!

The loves of my life.

In my usual obnoxious fashion, I coerced everyone into posing for a family picture.

Time to eat!  A very sleepy and nap-deprived Nathan refused to sit in his own chair and would only eat if he could sit on Papa's lap.
