Warning: Picture overload ahead!
The day before Christmas Eve we spent with J's family.
Of course Uncle Ted had to squeeze in a hunt or two or three over the
holidays. :) There is something about a guy in camo holding a baby...
Success! We got them all smiling and looking the same way...love this picture.
C opening her stocking at Nana and Papa's.
This boy is all about the farm. His farming terminology amazes me. He now has augers, grain bins, and anhydrous tanks. We have a major farming operation carried out daily in toys around our house. These grain bins were the missing piece to his operation.
The kids couldn't wait to give me my present from them and J. They knew that it was secretly stored at Nana & Papa's and they just couldn't wait any longer! I love my new bike and I will have to share the cutest story soon about G not being able to keep a secret.
Love this picture of G & A.
That night we had such a fun time hosting a little get together for some special friends that we don't get to see that often. In fact, the last time that we saw them was in Hawaii for their wedding! (so fun, can we go back?) They are both doctors in the Navy...stationed apart for just a little while longer. It was so, so good to get to see them.
A pre-hog hunting picture.
The guys decided to take Rachel on her first hog hunting adventure late in the evening. I was glad they had her along as a chaperone.
These three amigos grew up in the same neighborhood together, went to school together, played baseball together (pretty much everything together).... it is so fun to laugh at all their stories.
El missed the blue button-up memo and J missed the sportcoat memo.
Super fun times.
The next day was Christmas Eve.
We headed to Meme and Poppa's for lunch.
The kids had a fun surprise waiting for them.
Poppa had lots of fun with this one.
A very big remote control tractor!!
Love this boy's excitement.
I really would like to keep him this age forever and ever.
After lunch at Meme and Poppa's we headed to church for our angel and our shepard to sing in the Christmas Eve service.
Then our very tired little family headed home and went to bed.
And then the camera lady did not do a very good job capturing Christmas morning pictures. It happens. There is just so much excitement going on.
It turns out that C&G were on the good list and got a telescope for Christmas. We can't wait for a nice clear night to use it.
A few Christmas morning photos:
So glad that Nana and Papa stopped by for a little bit that morning because I didn't get pictures of them with the kids when we did Christmas at their house. Camera lady may need to be fired.
Then, we headed to College Station Christmas day. Anne Aunt's belly is too big for her to travel over the holidays. It was super fun to get to go to their house for the day.
We played lots of games:
And the camera lady remembered to take some family pics:
The day after Christmas we had the big Wiethorn Christmas at lunch and then that night we headed to Grandma's. It was very, very good to have almost everyone together. Again, with all the excitment we didn't get many pictures from that day other than this...
It was a busy four days. G was so tired!!
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!
