Papa, Grandma, and Andy arrived at my home at 7:30am to pick up Mommy and me so we could drive to San Antonio to spend the day with Bridget and her family to have our Laplante Christmas.  Kristan, AK, and Bradley came from her parents home to be with us.  
Barbara was not here, so Mommy took pictures.  Anna Kate, Catherine, and me.
Anna Kate has been enjoying hiding in boxes lately, so she got me to hide and then surprise everyone.
The two girl cousins dressed alike: Anna Kate and Catherine.

 Grandma and her four grandchildren: Anna Kate, Mason, Catherine, and Bradley.

About an hour after we arrived we decided it was time to open presents.  Anna Kate truly loved this time.  She was so happy with every gift she got, hugging each and every gift.  Mommy and I gave her several small gifts and there were all her favorites.  Her very favorite was a Barbie Mermaid doll.  She carried that doll with her all day and it was the only gift she took with her when she went back to her other grandparents home.  Grandma and Papa are going to take all of Andy's families gifts back to Houston with us.

I mostly got gift cards or cash from Grammy and Bubba, Lisa, Dan, and Tim, Bridget, and Andy's family.  My gift from Papa and Grandma was money for my college fund.  Papa and Grandma bought me some leggings with a big flame that goes up to my knees.  I put them on immediately.  Mommy bought me a zippered gray jacket that I also put on immediately.  Mommy gave me three books and three board games.  She has her fingers crossed that I will read them and will play the board games.      

Just as we were finishing opening our Christmas gifts, the pizzas we ordered arrived.  Since the living room was filled with presents and wrapping paper, we ate in the kitchen and breakfast room.  Grandma, AK, Bradley, and I sat at the table and everyone else stood around the kitchen.  We were all hungry and the pizza was delicious. 
The guys and the kids all went outside to toss around my football.  That was great fun.

Papa had as much fun rolling in the yard as the kids did.  
We all played Left, Right, Center.  Andy was the big winner.

Shortly after midnight we went to bed.  This was a fun day even without Fortnite.
