Christmas Part Two

We went to Abilene the next afternoon to celebrate Christmas with Alan's family. Unfortunately, my camera died, so I didn't get to take more than one or two pictures. My sweet mother-in-law did, so I'll be able to add pictures at a later point.

We had a great time visiting with Grammie and PawPaw! Grammie watched the big kids at night and Alan and I actually got to catch up on some sleep! RJ did a great job sleeping in her pack and play and was a dream to get down/stay down at night! I even snuck in a nap during the day on Saturday. We were able to head back to College Station feeling rested and refreshed!

The big kids loved playing with all their toys, especially the Legos!

I can't wait to see the pictures the Debbie took and share them with you all.

Christmas Part One...

With all the traveling we were planning on doing, we celebrated Christmas as a family December 17. The kids had a blast opening presents! We did it in the evening, so sweet Rebekah was ready for bed, but the big kids loved all the craziness. Alan and I have decided to give the kids four presents each - something you want, something you need, something to wear, and something to read. Elizabeth really got the concept of that this year and was kept asking what category each present fell into.

Matching Pajamas Part One...

I have an addiction... I love to dress my kiddos in the same/coordinating outfits! They have their special Christmas pj's, but I also found some adorable penguin ones at Gymboree a couple weeks ago. They sure look cute!

The rest of the Christmas pictures!

I knew I'd finally get the rest of our Christmas pictures. I guess we didn't get any as an entire family this year... Hopefully that'll change next year! ;)

Christmas... Part 3

We headed to Texarkana Monday evening, so we could be there in time for Christmas Eve dinner with my grandparents on Tuesday. Both my brother and sister were in town, so we had a full house! The kids loved playing with Uncle Dustin and Aunt Michelle! Of course, I managed to get away without the pictures from my Dad's camera, so we're stuck with the few we took with mine... Hopefully the next time they come they'll bring both cameras and I can upload them to my computer and then the blog!

Santa brought the kiddos a tricycle and cozy coupe. And of course, they were both super excited to see them Christmas morning!

See E's pink cowgirl boots?

Random Christmas Pictures

The kiddos had a ton of cute Christmas clothes that they wore all throughout the month of December! I tried to snap pictures in every outfit, but I'm sure I missed one or two... 

Love this one!!
