It's Christmastime In The City.....Err I mean MA!!!

We had our Watson Christmas in MA over the weekend. It was so much fun!! Mom and Dad always go all out and Dad spends way too much time shopping for just the right gift, baking all the holiday cookies, wrapping presents, etc!! ha ha! Seriously, it is always a fun time and many memories are made. The kids were excellent! They are at the age now that they pretty much entertain themselves. I've noticed that lately Haydn and Porter play a lot together and Stella and Hannah have always played great together. Haydn really liked the tool set that Porter received from Vada. That was the only downer, the Cunninghams were not able to be "home" for Christmas, but hopefully we will see them soon!! *hint, hint* Get your hineys back to IA, Cunninghams!! :)
We let the shorties open up the gifts from the cousins on Saturday morning. Porter got a power tool set from Vada---he is obsessed with it!!

Oh and these photos are totally out of order by the way! Sorry! Santa Claus made a special appearance on Friday evening! Mom and Dad had a little party and lo and behold Santa showed up after a bit! :) (For those of you wondering it was Lynn R.)

Santa brought a special "adult" gift for Dad. It was something along the lines of a Tiger Woods Viagra??? Not sure about all of that! :) The annual reading of 'Twas The Night Before Christmas before heading off to mass on Saturday night. Only missing Vada Rose!
Papa always is great about taking the kiddos in the hot tub. They LOVE the hot tub!
Before church on Saturday night. Doesn't Hannah look excited! LOL!!!!!!!!

Sunday morning we opened gifts. Porters favorite was his Batcave! He's played with it nonstop since we got home.

Stella's favorite was her make-up!! The Little's on Saturday night.
Us on Saturday night.

I think P & F got the same power tool set, they'll have to go into business together. Looks like a fun time! Hmmm...I think that was the same Santa whose lap I sat on about 25 years ago!

Wonderful Christmas pictures. It looks like everyone was having a great time. I love that your folks read the night before Christmas before you go to church, what a lovely tradition. Vada Raose would have thoroughly enjoyed herself also.

Great pics, KJ!!! We had such a great time with everyone here. Did miss our NC peeps though! The little ones were really good - no fights - they play well together. Was fun to have Santa stop by Fri nite!

Great pics! We missed being there to join in on the fun! Looks like all the kids made out pretty well on the gift front. Love Stellie's makeup, she'll be so stylin' now. And can't wait to see what Porter builds with his toolset:)

Looks like a great Christmas in Mt. Ayr. That was the same Santa who came to visit us at my grandpa Rich's. So cool! Great family pics and the Night Before Christmas reading!
