Midwest Christmas Highlights

Welcome to Christmas in the Midwest! We started our celebration in Michigan visiting Grandpa and Nana. Here is Evan "working" on his Handy Manny Radio with Daddy...

Evan's cousin, Nadiya, was being goofy putting many grapes in her mouth!

At Grandpa and Grandma's house in Indiana, Evan was eyeing the stack of packages...

Oooh, this one's mine - it has Elmo on the paper!

Rockin' the tunes on his guitar with Daddy...
Evan was very excited to get his GeoTrax trains!

Playing with blocks with his cousins...

Cousin Keira and Evan just stared at each other. It was very cute! Finally she gave him his package!Here are more of Evan's cousins at Grandma's house (Isaac, Clayton, Arianna, and Nadiya)...Evan got a Band in a Box and was eager to pay with the maracas... Relaxing with Mommy...Evan was tired!But never too tired to play with Thomas!Stockings were meant to be worn, right?!

Phew! This exhausted little boy is resting up while Santa flys through the night sky...It Christmas morning and I'm ready to go! Did Santa come last night?He did! Let me see what Santa put in my stocking...

Peeking...Daisy was excited to see what Santa brought her...She was a very good girl...

Ooohhh...look what Santa brought Evan...

I think he likes it!

Eating cookies on Christmas morning while opening presents...a Mears tradition!

Evan got lots of GeoTrax this Christmas and LOVES them! Here he is playing with part of one set at Grandma and Grandpa's...

"Make it go" as Evan would say!

Later that evening we ventured to two more Christmas celebrations. Here is Evan (far right) with all of his cousins and second cousins and Great-Grandma Catherine in the middle...

We had a wonderful trip home to see everyone for the holidays. Our visits always seem too short but filled with lots of fun!
