Who needs a dress when the tights cover 90% of her little body?
Before we get started with the presents at Mom & Dad's, we always open the Bible to Luke chapter 2 to read about the true meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate. This year, Jackson did the honors of reading, and what a great job he did, even with words like Quirinius!
Tyler & Kyle listening intently to the Christmas story (even Tyler, who rarely ever sits still!). 
Uncle John took care of Violet while we distributed the gifts.
Little Brynn looking so cute in her Christmas outfit!
I'll give you a re-cap of some the favorite gifts. . . My boys LOVED their "Cars" cars.
And Oliver's "Cars" motorcycle was a hit with all of the kids.
Jackson getting cozy in his "snuggie". . .
And Brynnie on her rocking horse.
The boys playing with Oliver's firetruck couch-turned-bed. . .
And Joy got all of the kids these really special, hand-painted step stools. They loved taking the letters out and putting the puzzles back together.
Aren't these cool??
The kids all loved their hoodies from Grandma Cheryl. . .
And Grandma Cheryl loved her canvas of her grandkids. (Note: We took these pictures over 2 months ago, and it has taken some serious willpower for me to NOT post/share them!)
And my favorite Christmas gift of all, my precious little Violet. . .
And my boys too, of course!
Here's our whole crew; we just keep growing!
Fast forward to Sunday evening for the "big" Dwyer Christmas hosted by Russ' Uncle Terry & Aunt Lisa. Violet really made the rounds and was loved on by everyone! First Grandma Jo got her time with her littlest grandbaby. . .
Then Ella gave lots of hugs. . .
And Dawson wasn't going to miss his turn!
Gift time!
We did a movie exchange this year, and here the kids are showing off which movie they get to take home!
