{Christ}mas with the Meads

This year was really awesome, everyone was able to come except Michael of course.  We did get to talk to him though...for TWO hours.  It was great to hear his voice.  He sounded just like Michael.  He was a punk but a cute punk.  He is loving France.  This really makes all of us feel happy.  After we talked to Michael we ate breakfast.  What, breakfast before presents.  This in unheard of.  But when a Vogel has to eat a Vogel has to eat...hahaha.  We completely strayed from our usual breakfast and made the same food we had for Michael's farewell.  It was yummy but a few of the fellas missed the blueberry muffins so desperately that we ladies hurried and scrambled and made them.  So along with orange rolls, french toast, potato casserole, we had blueberry muffins.  YUMMY! 

I was very impressed with the kiddos because they waited so patiently during the phone call, and breakfast.  They were pretty excited to get to presents.  Everyone got SPOILED as usual but the adults even received a little extra sumpin' sumpin' that they weren't planning on.  We all felt spoiled.  Thanks so much Mom and Dad.  They even got us all matching pajama pants.  Well the outlaw boys matched and the brothers matched.  I got my sew machine that I have wanted for Years!! Lucky me!!  The kids loved their gifts and I think Jeron was in shock and still hasn't recovered from the envelope he got to open. 
and of course dad went CRAZY with mom and she got 439 presents...I counted.  Okay, maybe not that many but almost.  The kids are so lucky that they have such great Aunts and Uncles.  This year it was extra fun because we actually had a cousin to give to.  Elsie was so excited to pick out Lucy's present.  Even though it was to big for miss Lulu.  It was also Lucy's first Christmas ever!  She was cute.  Her favorite place to play was in the boxes.  I guess what they all say is true.  In the end they just love the box it came in.

Merry Christmas family.
