Santa visited Grandma and Grandpa's house while we were at Mass. (We took Jamesie and Mattie straight to the cry room at church, which turned out to be the right decision -- they were not in a mood to sit still! There was another set of twins in there, and a lady came in with her little girl midway through the service -- and all of them were NICU grads. The other little ones had all been under two pounds at birth. The twins were 25 weekers and the other girl was a 26 weeker. We're not used to our guys being the "big ones"!)
Cousin Quinn got a toy vacuum cleaner for Christmas, but Mattie has been playing with it almost non-stop ever since. Fortunately, Quinn is a very nice cousin and doesn't mind sharing it! He also carried around her Christmas baby doll quite a bit.
Mattie and James got a ride-on tractor from Santa! (Thank you, Santa!) They both like it a lot, too, and it even came with little animals to ride along!
Cooper and Quinn each got a Pillow Pet, which they have been wanting for months. It was so neat to see how excited they were about the Pillow Pets -- they could have gotten nothing else and it still would have been a great Christmas for them. Even this morning, Cooper was still saying, "And I opened the box and there was a Pillow Pet inside!"
Quinn and Cooper also had a lot of fun helping Grandma and Grandpa open their gifts. :)
Aunt Joy and Uncle Joe came over to celebrate with us, and we all enjoyed Grandma Georgia's gumbo for dinner.
