Christmas with the Eckleys

We celebrated Christmas with Matt's side of the family on Friday night. It was a little early but with all our busy schedules it was the only time that we could find that worked (we were still missing Aunt Joanna but she was getting to be with her family for the birth of her nephew!) It was a great time. Good dinner and then fun time opening presents and watching Ben play! Here a few shots from the evening.

Ben checking out his awesome book from Brett and Joanna. It has cars that race around tracks.

Matt checking out his loot! He got a great jacket and some work clothes and some Wii games. Just the stuff he likes.

Opa in his bike helmet. We got him a bike!

Big umbrella for me! I need it now with 2 kiddos and all the rain we have been having. I also got an awesome coat, some books and other fun things!

Opa and Kate

Ben got lots and lots and lots of Batman stuff!!!! He was so excited. And all we have been doing since then is playing Batman!!!

Kate got some beautiful bows from Brett and Joanna and lots of diapers from Mema and Opa! Just what she needs.

It was a great start to the family holiday festivities! Lots more to come!
