Eiselt Christmas 2013

We were lucky to have the never ending Christmas because we got to see Baggie and Bopbop before New Years' for a little Christmas with them.  They graciously brought dinner over and spent the afternoon and evening with us.  It was so fun to spend time with them before 2014!

The kids were happy to open plenty more gifts!






We we gave Baggie and Bopbop their gifts, too!  Hoping for a year when the whole Eiselt family will be together for the holidays!!  Love to all!!  Thanks to B & B for such a special day!

Holbrook Christmas 2013

We arranged for Holbrook Christmas to  be on the weekend following Christmas because Amy and Andrew would be home, Kyle and Ali were available, and John could be away from church for a couple days.  We look forward to spending time with the whole family and staying at Nana and Papa's!

Settling in for puzzles with Andrew.

Queen of snacks.  Nana always has good ones!

Traditional  Swiss Raclette dinner with the whole family!

Whoa.  That's a lot of presents.

Eden loving her Little People house from Kyle and Ali.

The Eiselt boys enjoying Bennett's new Fart Gun (thanks, Nana :)


Aunts and Uncles!



The kids all enjoyed opening gifts and Eden got the hang of it this year, too!





The kids got some fun gifts to share like this huge marble run.

Eden got some cute clothes from Andrew and Amy.

And just like a Holbrook, she had to try them right on!

And then off...

Aftermath...

Logan was excited about new Legos!

The next day was a good day for some outside play!



Eden liked Papa pulling her on the pink sled!



Eden is in there somewhere!  I got the kids those masks for Christmas and they all love them!


John and Andrew managed to make a speed track for the sleds.

The kids liked having Uncle Andrew give them a big push!


Big pink Eden!

The outside adventure quickly turned in to a snowball fight!!




Amy joined in just in time for a few snowballs in the head :)











Eden wanted to be like Auntie Amy and taste a big chunk of fresh snow.





There was lots of building - Legos, puzzles, and this roller coaster Logan got for Christmas.

Let's just say it was tricky and good thing Papa (an engineer) and Andrew (a medical student) were on hand to help out!

When it was done it was pretty cool!!

Andrew can come by our "Manny" anytime.  The kiddos love him.


We grabbed a quick photo of Andrew and Amy with the kids.  I even got Benny in there!


We were lucky to get a fun night out with Amy and Andrew before we traveled back to Eau Claire.  My parents put the kids in bed and we went for dinner and drinks and loved spending some good time with them!!
Thanks to Mom and Dad for such a lovely fun and blessed Christmas!!
