After we opened our gifts here at our house, we headed to Lovie and Pops' to celebrate with them. The kids were eager to jump into opening more presents!

Livy was excited to try out her new makeup kit.

Charlie was super-excited to try out his new magnetiles!

Sissy was all smiles opening her Barbie jet.

It took some work to get it ready for flight.


All finished!

The kids were all really excited to open their big gift - a small trampoline!




After the Christmas gifts, it was time to celebrate Livy's 2nd birthday!
