We headed to my parents' for Christmas. Picture is a little blurry but has all of us around the table before the awesome beef tenderloin that Carson prepared!!
Carson's grandparents live about 45 minutes from where I grew up so we stopped by to visit. Carson's aunt, uncle and cousin were all in town too! Parker helping Mom A make some chocolate pie!!! I wish I could make it like she does. I think she secretly puts in some magic fairy dust or something because her's is always better than mine.
Parker and Lyn
Charlie and Parker riding the horse! YEE HAW!!
Shannon, Parker, Caleb, Carson, Charlie (picking his nose with style) and me
We went to the Marshall historic square for dinner and to see the Christmas lights. Papa Jess and Charlie with the reindeer!
Papa Jess and Charlie with the courthouse
Train ride... it was probably the best 5 minutes of Charlie's day
He's happy
Granny sent us all satin sheets! Snazzy!
Josh, Izzie, Charlie, Laura and Ava opening gifts on Christmas Eve
Our family
(the ladder in the background is because like a something off of "Griswold Christmas" our electricity went out in the living room right before we read the Christmas story... oh well)
Charlie is the best present!
Gigi
Charlie and Izzie playing with the dog lights that Papa Jess got for Christmas
Ava got her first American Girl doll! Quote "it's what I've wanted my whole life!"
Izzie and Jordan
This picture cracks me up. My brother and sister-in-law have been potty training Izzie with bribery of Cinnamon Altoids!! Here she is desiring the Altoids. She sneaked some at one point and I asked her to open her mouth... to my surprise she had 7 in her mouth at one time!! (Sorry Izzie, you can be upset with me one day for posting this, but I thought it was just too funny to pass up.)
Joshua and me on Christmas Eve
Video of Charlie talking about Santa coming...
Kiss the cook
Wearing cookie cutters at accessories
Happy to make cookies for Santa
Setting cookies and milk out for Santa, wearing his new Thomas Christmas jammies
We were hoping for a grand entrance down the stairs Christmas morning.... but instead, this happened:
Do you think he's happy about his tricycle from Santa?
Our attempt at a Christmas photo before church
So we settled for one of just us
Gigi and Papa Jess
We headed back to FW for two days and then went to Kerrville to see Carson's family for New Year's. Noni with her Thomas artwork on Charlie's Christmas presents.
Charlie got a train from Boppa (imagine that) and it has batteries!
Andrew and Kelsie
