On the 5th Day of Christmas...

On the 5th Day of Christmas,
we got a decent picture of all 4 of us looking at the camera and smiling. ;) 
That seldom happens.


We made it over to Debbi and Gary's house to celebrate with our extended family.


Memaw with some of her great-grandkids


Gramps with some of his great-grandkids

Once all of the extended family leaves, our family, Kevin's brother's family, and Pops and Nams all exchange gifts that evening.












Cannon hadn't had a nap so he was pretty sleepy by about 6:00, but he pushed through. :)


Jake, Ally, and Chris. Poor Jen was so sick she couldn't get out of bed all day. It wasn't quite the same without her. :(



Pops modeling his new Grinch shirt with his Grinch-like expression. He is definitely NO Christmas Grinch, but just doesn't get too *super* excited about getting out all of the Christmas decorations each year. ;)





This picture is so cool! The kids like to save all of the tissue paper and have a "snowball" fight once we've opened all of the presents.



All packed up and ready to head back home. We had an amazing Christmas 2013!!!

On the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th day of Christmas...

On the 2nd day of Christmas, 
we loaded up our car and headed to Oklahoma to have Christmas with my mom's side of the family.




 The only pics I took at my Aunt Melinda's were of the kids playing the piano.


On the 3rd day of Christmas,
We hung out at Pops and Nams' house all day and then that night, my dad surprised my mom for her birthday by taking the whole family on a limo christmas light tour. We went through Rhema, several neighborhoods, and our last stop was the "What does the fox say?" house.  














We had cupcakes and cake balls for mom's birthday, and Aiden helped blow out the candle.


On the 4th day of Christmas (Christmas Eve),
We hung out at Mimi and Pappy's house all day. We ate a delicious early dinner around 4, and then opened all of our gifts from Mimi and Pappy and Lauren and Dillon.








Uncle Brett with his best dog friend, Lexy.






After all the gifts were opened, the kids had so much fun playing this game where we would shout out things for them to pretend they were doing. 

"Skateboarding"


"Surfing"


"Old people"


"Robot"


 "Scream"


"Show us all of your teeth"


Not sure what this one was, but they made up a song called, "I am a booty bear." Silly kids! My kids are actually still singing it. 


"You're about to fall of the box!"



These kids have so much fun together. :)
