More Christmas

In the middle of the day we were at Grandma and Papa Chuck's house for a while. It was fun to have all the VanZandt cousins together!

Here's Grandma and Papa with Dessarae, Garret, Kaitlyn, Zachariah, Nathaniel, Elliana and Alliyah

Nathaniel got a kit to build a helicopter!

The 'Dread Pirate Zach!'

Elli amidst the presents! She got a new dolly.

Kaitlyn got one too!


The next day we went back to Grandma and Papa Corbett's house to open presents and to have an easy to prepare (we ordered out!), no-hassle dinner. (pizza! with paper plates, cups and utensils for easy clean up!)

Here are Annie and Kaity opening presents...it's always a wild time!

Nathaniel and Zach with Uncle Sean and Beth (in motion!)

We had a wonderful celebration with both sides of the family. We did miss seeing Papa and Yada VanZandt (in Arizona), Uncle Kevin and Chris (in Michigan), Aunt Billie (in Florida) and Uncle Paeter, Aunt Holly and Asher (in Arizona too!) We love you!

Early Christmas Presents!

Grandma and Papa Corbett gave the kids early Christmas presents!

The girls got a trip to The Nutcracker at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh.Here is Annie, Grandma and Kaity....Elli came too, but she was hiding behind Grandma! (Justus came too with Aunt Mandy...he was such a good little boy! Slept the whole time except when his Mommy woke him to feed him!)

The set of The Nutcracker. The picture doesn't do it justice!

Annie, Kaity and Elli...princesses at the ballet!


The boys got to play basketball at the YMCA as part of their Christmas present!

Here is Zach's team after their last game!

Here is Nathaniel in his basketball shirt....I know I took pictures while he was playing...just not the same week as Zach's...and I can't find them!!! Nathaniel missed his last game due to the stomach flu. But he really enjoyed playing...he was the highest scoring player on his team! (I'm sure his height didn't hurt!) Both of the boys loved spending some time on Saturdays playing basketball! Thanks Grandma and Papa for everything!
