After presents & breakfast clean up we got ready to have our family come visit for the day! We always have the holidays at our house, A few years ago I decided that I didn’t want to spend Christmas day cooking & cleaning, but wanted to be able to enjoy the day too! I wanted to be able to relax & watch the kids play with all of their new stuff! So I started an *Open House Christmas*. Anyone is welcome anytime after 1p.m., food is out all day, eat when ever you want, stay as long as you want & relax! It works out really well since some family members “house hop” and this way they can come whenever. I make all kinds of picky food ahead of time so I don’t have to do it that day!

 

This is our niece Sophia loving the new baby that we got her.

Santa brought some great stuff!! I am laughing because Seamus said about ten times that day, "This is the best Christmas EVER!" Can't wait to hear those PaperJamz in action!

What a fun Christmas full of awesome gifts from Santa!! So happy that Ethan and Collin had the "best Christmas ever!" and yay for team work! They are so cute!! You'll have to post a video of them with their Paper Jamz! The picture of Buddy is too funny!
Your Open House Christmas sounds perfect! If we had family close by, I would love to do the same.

I am loving that you quoted the boys in your post. although Ethan was not pleased about posing with his brother, I am glad he did because he looks really cute! They both do in their matching pjs. The picture of your dog's face is just priceless. Great Christmas Eve shots. I also love the idea of a Christmas open house. Entertaining is so hard. You never sit and enjoy your company so I think that is a fabulous idea!
