We started the afternoon with our traditional Dutch brunch and then, after visiting and playing, we all went to church and then returned for dessert and lots of gifts. I just wish the time would have gone by slower so I'd more time to enjoy it all!
A picture of the kids all dressed up before heading to my Dad and Kathleen's house for Christmas Eve brunch
Our best attempt at a family picture
Yummy chicken noodle soup prepared by Jennifer, made just like my mom did for many, many years
The whole gang (minus Kathleen and picture-taker Amber) before the unwrapping begins!
Opa spoiled all his grandkids! Here he is with Jacoby.
Genevieve surrounded by Christmas. And, Amber with her two cuties!
Nev and me playing with some new toys
Chad and Tony have taken up the task of sorting and handing out (in order of youngest to oldest) the many gifts as we unwrap presents
Some of my nephews and nieces: Roman, Searra, Denisha and Mariah
It wouldn't be a Konyn Christmas post without a silly picture of Uncle Duane!
The scene after all the kids' gifts are unwrapped!
The kids having a blast downstairs as the adults open their gifts (we let the kids go first so the adults can relax and open ours a little more slowly!)
A little video capturing a little of the Konyn Christmas
And, finally, here are a few fun pictures of our three big kids before we headed into Christmas Eve Mass. We arrived a little early and had a few minutes to play outside the church (as Genevieve slept a little more in the car):
