CHRISTMAS EVE

We had a marvelous family time at Mamaw & Papaw's home with all the cousins, aunts & uncles, and great-grandmas and great aunts & great uncles too! The kids enjoyed playing together and eating all the yummy Christmas treats including drinking Mamaw's Christmas punch! We decided to have brunch again this year and it was so good to spend the entire day with each other. The kids opened up their presents first before we had the adult exchange. The girls loved the doll cradles from Mamaw & Papaw and the fun boas! They also received some beautiful clothes and Andrew got a Colts sweatshirt and Purdue football jersey! It is always fun to try and get a cousin photo each year - the kids were so excited to open their presents!

Our three Christmas cuties!

Andrew was so excited! He loved the Nerf Gun, Cosmic Catch Game, and special baseball cards from his uncle!


Aunt Stephy helped Hollyn open her puzzles, Noah's Ark, and Snowman Book!

The boys played games with each other all night and made us all laugh by going upstairs to Mamaw & Papaw's room and serenading us through the air vent! LOL! Joel is a hoot!

Hollyn LOVES wearing her Ruby Slippers! So festive! :)


Giddy Up Cow-Girl!

Jessa Li was so precious in the Christmas dress Mamaw bought her! She was very sweet to everyone, a little intimidated by all the excitement, but she certainly has learned to LOVE opening presents!



Daddy helped her open a puzzle and Frosty the Snowman book!

Now the kids have Christmas PJ's and so does Mommy! Thank you Mamaw & Papaw for a wonderful Christmas Eve! Now we are off to slumber with visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads while Santa gets ready to come down our chimney! :)
