A few years ago, just like the Kleinpeters, The Stelly Family made a transition to celebrate the Christmas gift exchange the week before the actual holiday due to the chaos of the 24th.
You see, Mr. Jimmy & Mrs. Kay have a huge {and I mean HUGE} Christmas Eve Open House supper including family and friends from far & wide. This leaves very little time to enjoy watching each other open gifts and giving hugs, so we pushed the immediate family gathering up a few days.
This year, Mrs. Kay went all out with the table spread. Isn't' it beautiful?
We let the kids open gifts before supper. Alexander got DEVASTATOR.
It took his Daddy 45 minutes to put it together.
Nanny Liz always gives the best toys! It seemed to be the year of the Transformers.
Izzy & Sophie wanted to help Annie open Mary's gifts.
Caleb's gift from Nanny Liz was the Sister's favorite.....
...Until Aunt Crystal & Paran gave them couches! Yes Folks, we now have Couch Potatoes!!
Once the Dads had enough Transformers, they put the Sister's Tricycles together that came from MeMe & Poppie.
The Boys enjoyed pushing them as they giggled & rang the bells!
Bubb got a cool new green razor scooter from Nanny Liz & Uncle Jeremy!
We all ended the evening with Poppies delicious steaks. I didn't get any pictures of any of the food except for this one of Sophie gnawing on a corn on the cob! 
Izzy & Sophie read Clayton bedtime stories before we headed home!
