Our Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year! I was so glad that my sisters were able to come to Lubbock to spend the holidays with us. We made a huge mess at my parents house for about 5 days in a row, but I think that they loved MOST of it!
Once again I have gone overboard on the picture sharing, but I have a hard time narrowing it down!

The kids eating dinner on Christmas Eve at the new table Grammy bought for them.

Kelton and Gage setting cookies and milk out for Santa. I love Gage's cheesing in this one.

The kids with milk and cookies for Santa.

Ashley read Twas the Night Before Christmas to the kids.

This shows how insterested the little ones were in hearing the story.

The others loved it though. Ashley is a great story reader - she loves to do the voices!

Kelton and Caden looking out the window for Santa.

The milk and cookies Caden set out for Santa at our house.

The milk and cookies the next morning.

Caden and Jace woke up to find that Santa brought Caden the doll house and Barbies that she asked for and brought Jace a basketball goal and other cool stuff. Although, Jace was only interested in the candy he found in his stocking. After a quick look at the gifts from Santa, we packed up and headed over to Grammy & Papaw's house to open more!

Caden showing Momma her Barbie car from Grandma.

The sun coming in the window above the door ruined this one but you can get an idea of how spoiled we all were on Christmas morning!

Michael taking pictures and Brent playing with his new tools.

Ashley used to (I means still does) do the same thing with her toes.

TJ was exhausted from all of the excitement.

Brent organizing his new tools that Grammy & Papaw gave him.

Playing Mario Kart - Michael and Brent both got this game for Christmas.

The kids got to play too. We all had a blast with that game. We laughed so hard. I have uploaded videos at the end of this post. They may just be funny to those who were there, but I added them anyways.

The kids sporting their new hats and gloves even though it was a warm Christmas in Lubbock.

My pretty girl in front of Grammy's pretty Christmas tree.

Jace watching the train go round and round.

Amber brought a gingerbread house for the kids. I think Amber or Ashley took more pictures of this project. I had gone to pick up Jace from his nap at our house so I got a couple at the end and most of the kids were already through playing.




This is pretty much the only way we can get all 6 of the kids in one picture. That was one full tub!
Here are the videos of us playing Mario Kart. Hope you enjoy!





I hope everyone else had as much fun this holiday as we did!

These pics are adorable - all those sweet kiddos!

Anyway, I wanted to drop by and say I'm glad you commented on Emily's blog b/c I've been meaning to tell you thank you for the name suggestion (we went with Gabrielle) a million years ago.

Happy New Year! =)
