An Early Carlson Christmas

This morning Brandon's mom, twin brother Brett, and his son Austin came over for an early Christmas! We had yummy cinnamon rolls and enjoyed watching Marek and McKenna happily tear into their presents as well. Brandon's mom comes over nearly every Friday to watch the kids while I run errands and go grocery shopping. Seriously, my Friday outings are a rare coveted alone time for me and I am so appreciative to Brandon's mom for making it possible! My kids adore her, especially Miss McKenna, and she is equally enamored with them which is really special! We had fun seeing all of them this morning!

Marek, Grandma Barbara and McKenna snuggling on the chair.

McKenna is a little enamored with Brandon's brother Brett! She seriously wanted him to hold her the whole time they were here.

Grandma Barbara checking out the calendar we made for her with pictures of the kids.

Austin was pretty excited to get his xbox 360 points card...don't ask me what it is!

Opening presents.

Marek has really become a pro at tearing open presents!

Just a precious shot of Sissy La La.

Here you go uncle Brett. Lets stack some buckets!

Watching this little gummy bear cartoon that dances and sings. Marek is obsessed with it (thanks to Nana).
