Christmas at the Cabin

We had Christmas a little early this year at the cabin.  Jason made us his famous yummy steaks, we had lots of sides including broccoli and rice-yay, and a birthday cake for my dad for dessert.  It was a great evening.  Ansley and Jansen had so much fun running around the cabin playing as usual and then got really excited when it was time for presents!  They got WAY too much from Mimi and BB (we left most of it at the cabin)!
Ansley and Jansen playing around the tree.  Last year I have a picture of both of them in the bucket.  This year, Jansen couldn't quite squeeze in with Ansley. 
Isn't she sweet?! 
Jason explaining to Ansley why we celebrate Christmas and quizzing her on what gifts were brought to baby Jesus.  She is saying "Fransincense" :) on this picture. Her favorite one to say is "Myrrh"
Counting his 3 gifts 
She was adamant about opening this gift first. 
After that first tear, she RIPPED away.  Arms were flying! 
She loved it! 
Jansen was up next and this year was the year of the trains for him.  It was hard to pry him away from them!   
My brother in his camo hat I got him.  We were laughing at his tiny bean head....the hat swallowed him! 
After all the presents had been opened, Ansley and Jansen decided to steal one of BB's gifts.  These flashlights would be on my "dad's favorite and must-have list" for sure.  He gave all of his employees one and it was obviously on Jansen and Ansley's list of favorite toys!  They played forever with them. 
It was a fun evening, I can't wait for more Christmas/family festivities!
