The Larrick Family Christmas

The day after Christmas, we made the trip down to see my family. When we walked into Mamaw and Papaw's house, Evan's "crazy cousins" were so excited to see him. They had been waiting all day long for us to get there and couldn't wait to open their presents.

Evan wanted to help Mamaw and Papaw open their presents. 

Everyone was opening their gifts. 

Uncle Hoss 

Caleb was so excited about his new snowball blaster! 

Evan was trying to see what Aubrey got for Christmas. 

Caleb and Noah were showing Evan how to play Noah's new IPad. 

He loved the IPad! 

Christmas Day 2011

We went to the Christmas Eve service at our church with Grandma and Grandpa Schnittker last night. Then this morning, Evan got up at 4:15. Thankfully for us, he went back to sleep for a couple more hours after a new diaper and a bottle. Grandma and Grandpa Schnittker came over to watch Evan open his presents from Santa and have breakfast with us. Evan tore into a few of his presents, but still hasn't really gotten into it like most older kids. He did, however, enjoy all of his toys after they were out of their packages. After a mid-morning nap, we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Schnittker's house to open more presents and have a late lunch. Evan had such a great time today that he skipped out on his afternoon nap. This evening we have a very cranky young man!

Playing with Aunt Tracy and Seth. 

He seemed to have more fun with the wrapping paper than any of his presents!

We also celebrated Aunt Tracy's birthday which is actually tomorrow. 

Great-Grandma Burke was watching all of the action. 

Grandpa was feeding Evan some brownies and ice cream. 

No afternoon nap means a tired little boy.
