You Really Want Me to Hit That?

Wow, Christmas has come and gone with a bang.  Although I wanted to get rid of my children at one point, we still managed a good Christmas.  Please tell me that with age things get a little better??!!  Anyway, Christmas Eve was chocked full of activities. 

We started by making graham cracker houses at Grandma Rita’s.  The boys loved this, of course.  I think they ate more candy than they put on the house, but they did really well at taking charge of decorating their own.  Which was great for Alicia, since she wasn’t firing on all cylinders in the creativity department.

After dinner and a couple of gift exchanges (one for the adults, and one more for the kids) we broke out the piñata.  Literally!

The kids finally hit it off the pole and then had a blast trying to beat it to death while it lay on the ground.  Boys, sticks, and candy.  What a great combination!

After leaving Grandma Rita’s we headed over to Grandma Alice’s for, yet again, ANOTHER piñata.  Do you think they would be sick of it?

Apparently not.  Oh, and Mom and Dad get a chance to get into the action.

It gets dangerous at times, but hey, someone has to do it!  (Sorry about your nose Heather!)  What a fun way to start out Christmas!
