Christmas Afternoon

After we left my parents house we headed to the Steenbliks.  We hung out and waited for the Grandma and Grandpa to get back from Great Grandpa Steenbliks house and for Suzanne and her family to come.
Once they were all there Grandma passed out the presents and let the kids open them.  They all got really fun, cute stuff and they were all very happy about it. 
Allie got a fun toy and a play mat for her to lay on.  Megan got some books and a Doc McStuffins play set that included lots of fun doctor tools.  Josh and Tyler both got some legos and Skylanders and Tyler got a nice Sunday outfit.  We all got some gift certificates for the movies and Tony and I got some money and lots of treats for everyone.  We were all very spoiled and felt very loved.
After hanging out there for a couple of hours we then went back to my parents for dinner and to talk to Aunt Teagan in Japan.
We thought that we would eat dinner first and then have everything cleaned up before we Skyped with Teagan.  Turned out that my mom messed up the time difference again and so Teagan was trying to Skype two hours earlier then we had thought. 
It all worked out and we got her on the big TV talking to all of us.  She seems super happy and doesn't want to come home.  That's pretty normal for most missionaries.
So after we talked with Teagan we finished putting dinner together and then ate.  It was super yummy and we all ate our fill.  Then it was finally time to go home.  It was a long busy day, but it was really nice to spend it with family.
