So we had a very busy and full holiday as I am sure many of you all did too. I decided we would host Christmas Eve with all of Tim's family at our house. So we did an early dinner, and opened presents. I turned out to just be the Nystrom side, but that still left us at over 25 people. Wow! Below is Kylie with her very first Barbie. Thanks Uncle Randy and Aunt Jackie :)
Caleb LOVED his gift from Uncle Bob and Aunt Janelle. Nerf shooting darts! They are still ALL over the house! But he LOVES the gift. 
Great Grandpa Nystrom made the journey up to Illinois, and is looking forward to heading back to the warmth of Florida this Sunday, but it was so nice to have him here with us. First Holiday we've gotten to spend with him.
Traditional Christmas Jammies were opened before bed time. Caleb really wanted to go to the 11pm service with Grammy and Grampy, but by 9pm we were all ready to turn in. Caleb was SO insistent he went, but after we set out cookies and egg nog, and the key to the house [and Caleb through lettuce out the front door for the reindeer], we were all ready to turn in! Caleb tried to wait up in his room with a walkie talkie to catch Santa, but no luck this year! 
Christmas morning brought ANOTHER Day of family fun! The kids got hoppity balls and a chair from Santa. They also got a set of Dominos. Caleb LOVES playing, so does Kylie. Below is Kylie trying to hop on her princess ball. Didn't work too well, I think it needs a little air out.
Opening stocking!
The Dominos
Some socks and clothing :O)
And a big hug for Daddy!
Then off to our first stop. Nana and Popa's. Great Grandma Christenson was also there for a nice Christmas morning brunch. More presents and tons of clothes.
Kylie got a nice bike helmet from Auntie NumNum [Stella] and Caleb got some roller blades.
Another favorite of mine for Caleb was his John Deer Cowboy boots! NICE!
Off to the Pieps! Below is a picture a few days after Christmas of the kids in their crowns from Uncle Dave and Jenna.
Caleb's wobble [balance] board, which he isn't too bad at. He needs to put on a few pounds to really be able to move it better on his own, but he's doing good!
Kylie helpipng Grammy open the gift from the kids!
and Caleb opening the TAG reading system! This thing is WAY COOL!
Caleb and Uncle Dave played his fun wack a monster game! Good for the coordination :O)
AH!!! It was a great holiday season, but it sure is nice that is over too :O)
Every year we look forward to spending another holiday party with the Tomaselli's. Above is a shot of the guys, minus Tim. Jim, Justin, Caleb, Dad and Dave. We got together again and my parents and had a great dinner and a great time! Below is Kylie with the gift we gave to Morgan.
