Christmas with Grammie and the Greats

For Christmas dinner...we headed to Grammie's house to celebrate with Grammie, Great Ma and Great Pa.


They are actually sitting down to eat! This is the first meal they have sat down to on Christmas day...we have been busy having fun and making memories!


I missed taking pictures during the actual Christmas craziness, so here's what happened next...Owen loved his dinosaur from Grammie.


Owen enjoyed shooting darts at Great Pa (I'm pretty sure Great Pa enjoyed being shot at).


Henley convinced Great Pa that Grammie's boot would fit her


I don't think Henley liked the boys' dinosaurs as much as they did


Three happy guys!


The ladies all survived the very exciting day.


LOVE all the smiles and great memories we made!

Say Cheese!!


Brody is such a goofball!


Owen's got Buzz-vision!


fun, fun, fun

Santa Has Arrived!

Christmas has arrived!!!


Santa brought us TONS of snow!


TONS and TONS of snow!!!!!


We had to wait in Mommy and Daddy's bed for everyone to wake up. Yes, they slept late today of all days!


OOoooooo! Santa came!


Owen dove right into his gifts. Brody circled a few times just taking it all in. He wanted to make sure he played with just the right toy first.


Batman house and Toy Story Landfill! Oh my!


She looks like her momma!


SO MUCH FUN!


"momma, there's stuff in our socks!"


Sister loves this sock thing! This has always been the boys favorite part too!


Love Owen's smile


Checking on the reindeer food...


Owen wanted to make sure the food was gone (I guess Holly was curious too). Owen was also very concerned Santa did not finish ALL his milk or cookies.


We got BOOTS!!!!


Henley loved her new play mate. She wants here ears to move up and down like the puppy's ears do.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas EVE

We woke up to a ton of snow this morning!!!!

It was so pretty

Since we're stuck inside...let's make cookies!

Not me! I'm going shopping with Daddy!

Heading to lunch. Enjoying ALL the snow.
We were loading the car and Owen said my favorite thing I heard all day. Snow was coming down hard and we were all covered trying to buckle car seats. It's blowing big snow flakes in the car and Brody says, "Snow". Owen is quick to correct him, "It's not snow, it's Christmas!". Love these guys!

Owen and Great Pa being silly!

Owen was a little more interested in the snow after lunch.

Daddy making snow angels

Henley thought she was going to like it, but was WRONG!

We decided to bundle up and get to work on a snowman. Brody was the first one out there. And the only one for a while.
Owen decided to join the fun after getting to hot in the house with his gear on. He wanted the "stuff" but not the "action"
Working hard on that snow man.

Where are y'all heading with those snowballs?

Thank goodness I had the sense to close the door fast!

Dad and Owen kicking a snow ball down the hill to make it bigger!
Such a fun WHITE Christmas Eve!

Lunch with Santa

After church we headed to lunch with Santa...

So excited about lunch!

How much longer till I can see Santa?????

Guess who just walked by out table? Brody was excited the big guy was there!

Ice cream is always a good distraction...

Clearly his church performance wore him out...

Listen here Santa, this is what I want,...Batman house, boots, dinosaur...

Smile for Mom. Thanks.

Across the room, I ditched Henley when she started screaming on our approach to Santa. Sorry Grammie, you don't mind, right?


Momma with her "awake" children

Cute family!

Can we get a little further away from Santa? Please!

Look who woke up!

trying to make our way to the car...NAP TIME!
