Christmas 2011 Part 1 and 2

We spent Christmas Eve with Keri's parents. We drove out to see Keri's Papaw and visit with Uncle Mike, Aunt Lisa, and cousin Kate. From Papaw's we went straight to the Christmas Eve service at Jack and Dianna's church. It was fun to sing traditional Christmas carols and the big kids did so well in the service. Brock was a different story and he and I hung out in the lobby, women's restroom and church library for most of the service!

Christmas morning we woke up and opened gifts with our little family of five. This is the best picture I could get of all three kids and I actually love it! The kids wanted to buy gifts for each other so we took a trip to Dollar Tree and these are the gifts they gave to their siblings. I love their giving hearts!

We got Addie a MobiGo for her big gift and she loved it!

Doak's big gift was a set of Legos-these boys were so happy to play together!

We got Brock a little leapfrog house. He loves to open and close doors, turn light switches off and on, and press buttons. This toy combined it all.

Pop Pop got this cool shark blimp on a recent vacation to Florida and the kids were mesmerized by it.

Brock got some good snuggles from Nanna and then we had a big breakfast before heading out to Christmas Part 2.

After a short trip in the car we arrived at Amy and Bryan's house. The cousins happily smiled for a picture when I told them it was time to open gifts!

We love that Chad was there to hang out with us all day long!

After opening presents and eating a delicious Mexican dinner, we had storytime with Nanna and Pop Pop.

The day after Christmas we went to a park nearby and the adults and kids had the best time playing tag, climbing a rock wall, and just spending some quality time together.

Brock was a trooper and was happy to be with family. This is his "cheese" face-cracks me up everytime!

Sweet boy had just gotten over an ear infection and was still in pain from pressure and fluid on his ear. But when he was propped up on a pillow and wrapped up in some warm blankies he slept fine.

Our last night at Amy's we played Wii Just Dance (and I will not share the videos that we took of me and Keri in a dance off!) I love these three and am so thankful to have them as family, I would choose them as friends!

We also roasted marshmallows and warmed up by the fire. We loved spending time with fun family !
