Doyle Christmas Par-tay!

It's become tradition that we get together with the Doyle fam on December 23rd. We indulge in the traditional fondue for dinner, open gifts, and have lots of fun!


Steph is always very kind to the kids. This year she brought sugar cookies with frosting and candy and let the kids go wild! I know my boys loved it! She also brought a Christmas Mad Libs for the kids to participate in while waiting for gift time--fun!





Rylan was excited to open his present from Oliver. It was an Imaginext dragon and he wasn't quite sure what to do with it. Oliver showed him how it moved and that made Ry a bit more excited. Later on I asked him if he wanted me to open it so he could play with it and he said no, just keep it all together and he'll play with it at home. The next morning we got it out and we've had lots of fun with it!


Asher was very excited when he saw that he was given some MegaBlocks (by someone in Matt's family...who was it?). He cheered and wanted to open them right away! He's learning how to build big tall towers like his brother.

The grandkids with their new gifts!

Oakley and Lily were the entertainment for the night. They played a few songs, separately and together. Good job!

Then the adults finally got to open our gifts--yippee! I got some super cute pajamas and socks (and gift card!) from Mary. Super cute and super comfy. Yea for me!! :)

Kevin got some t-shirts and comfy pants from Mark D. I call them capris, Mark called them 'shants'. I guess 'capris' sound too girly :) Kevin was way excited!

Steph had also planned doing a "Cooler Than Me" music video with the kids. How come she's so much fun? :) The kids were instructed to bring some 'cool' clothes to wear. Asher made an appearance in his 'cool' vest. It was a cute video!
Lincoln got a truck full of cars for his present and Rylan took over the box. We even brought it home with us because he liked it so much!!


And...some random pictures of the night:






Asher had so much fun with everybody who would give him attention. Ashley and Steph spent a good amount of time with him, making him laugh and just plain ol' happy!

Mmmmmm :)
