A wakeup to Tio Greg. (Max woke up at 12:30am when he and Tia Jess arrived just for a cuddle).

And a last message from the Elf.

Then the arrival of Uncle Wills and Aunt Ally.

Tia Jess.

Sam.

And some relaxing in the living room.

Slappy Has A Holiday Concert

Where her class sang You Are My Child.

And Jess bawled thru the entire thing.  When the kids left the stage, Maddie ended up right in front of Jess' seat.

She had to stop filming because of all the bawling.  To ice the cake - their teacher made individual shirts adorned with a family photo.  Oh, my heart.

Madd Max Have An Afternoon Swim

It was warm inside.

Cold outside.

Madd Max Heads Inside

For crafts.

 And a little DnD.

 With Tio Greg and Jess.

 Followed by Headbandz.

 And some delicious dinner.

 The evening ended with pool swimming.

And reading by the fireplace - the boys and the girls insisting that they sleep in each other's rooms.
