Christmas 2016 was so much fun! It was so great to be with the Palmer family for the traditional Christmas Eve and then to get to be with Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas morning.
This year the boys didn't really have any requests which was fun and difficult. It was fun to choose things for them that they might like, but difficult because we didn't have a lot of direction and didn't want them to be disappointed.
Lincoln for his gift from Santa Lincoln got some drone wars.
Hunter got a good indoor basketball (we have lots of bad ones).
Palmer got NBA 2017 (if you can't tell, the Nelsons are super into basketball right now).
McKay asked Santa for a stuffed penguin and he lucked out and got two of them! His stuffed animal collection is getting quite extensive and he loves them all and has to wrangle them all in a big blanket to sleep with them at night.
I love the site of a full Christmas tree of Christmas morning.
The boys coming up from the basement for their presents. Christmas morning faces are the best!
Hugs for Grandpa.
And Grandma.
Ripping into their stockings and their gifts form Santa.
Each of the boys got a CTR ring.
It was fun to also be with my youngest brothers, Nathan and Mark and my sister Heather's family.
Those two are pretty cute.
Let the presents begin!
He better be cooking me some yummy food!
I sort of wanted these radios for myself, but I got them for the boys.
McKay and Hunter both got Polaroid camera. McKay's was blue and Hunter's was yellow. I really want to sneak and use them :)
I think they were happy with their Christmas morning!
Then we got to go to Grandma Ann's house and open more presents!
It's fun to see cousins and family we haven't seen for so long.
Hugs for Grandma Ann! She is always so generous with her presents and the boys usually get our season passes to Six Flags. It's fun to think of Grandma all year long!
Utah got a nice snowing for Christmas and our boys were dying to go play in it. Their cousins were nice to come out and play in the snow even though they hadn't brought any cold weather clothing (two of them were in pjs!)
Fun cousins!
When Josh came out, things got a lot more competitive (typical). He played in his church shoes with the hole in the bottom. Such a good daddy. Palmer apparently is a big fan of eating snow.
Palmer didn't bother to quit eating snow for the picture...
