Christmas Eve at GiGi and Papa's

This year, we celebrated Christmas with GiGi, Papa, Uncle Frank, Easton, and Grandma Peggy on Christmas Eve!  GiGi cooked up a yummy brunch and we had that before opening presents!  We ate brunch on the beautiful tablecloth that we write on each year and GiGi embroideries.  It is so neat to look at it and reminisce!  Marlee and Karsyn were both excited to sign it this year...Marlee drew her horse Pete and wrote her name and the year and I helped Karsyn draw a pink kitty with her name, age, and the year!  After brunch, it was present time and oh what fun we all had!  GiGi let the kids all pick out their own wrapping paper this year so when it came time to sort through the gifts the kids all knew which presents were theirs.  It was so easy!!!  Marlee and Karsyn both got so many wonderful gifts...and were both jumping for joy when they opened up their cards from Grandma Peggy and GiGi to find money to go into their savings account!  After everyone opened their gifts...GiGi and Papa told the kids they had one more present waiting for them outside!  They ran out in the driveway to find that Karsyn got a new pink bike and Marlee and Easton got new trickster scooters!  Fun, fun!!!  We spent the afternoon playing with all their new gifts and just enjoying family time!  A wonderful time with the Bagwell Family!
