A little late.....

Well as the saying goes, "better late than never", here is my full Christmas post with ALL the pictures. With the extra large family that me and Casey both have, it takes about a week and a half to complete all our family functions!!! Christmas for the kids was absolutely PERFECT and even though we just moved in to a much bigger house, I think we need to build on just to have them a toy room!!!

First was Christmas with my dad on the eve of Christmas eve

Cousins

I just love my crazy baby sister!!! 

 Our daddy

 My Nan Nan and Papaw's 5 grandchildren

I was probably killing him! :)

His first wallet going in his back pocket!!!

He was SO excited when we got home and he could put his brand new wallet in the back of his pants all by himself.... but since his underwear doesn't have any pockets..... well he couldn't figure out if it would fit in the front or the back!!!!

yes i know i shouldn't let him pose with his hands on his hips like that... :)

Next came Christmas eve at my MIL's house for a few presents and homemade cookies for Santa

 

 Sift the flour, roll the dough!!!

 then the fun part of icing the cookies



We couldn't believe all the toys that were at our house Christmas morning for 2 kids that really weren't THAT good all year long. Santa must not have seen all the bad days we had :)

Anna's Santa

 Cayson's Santa

 Trying not to peek

 When Santa came down the chimney, he didn't bother to wipe his shoes off. He tracked soot all the way to the cookies and milk!!! The kids were absolutely AMAZED!!!!

After seeing what Santa brought, we got dressed and went to a very special church service to celebrate our Savior's birthday!!! Then it was off to my mom's house for more presents and lunch!!! 

 I'm not real sure how we kept all their presents seperate in all the chaos!!!

 My sweet granddaddy

 My mom, her brother Brad, and their dad

We got a little bit of a break after Christmas day until Casey's sister and her family came in from Texas for more Christmas gatherings.

Christmas in Mathiston, MS with Casey's dad

Christmas with Casey's mom and sister

I just LOVE her excitement!!!

My MIL got Cayson a "PINK" cash register (she said it had a boy on it) to leave at her house so he will quit playing with the calculator. Even though it had a boy on it, he refused to have anything to do with it!! It was so funny when he opened it and said "You got me a girl toy"!!!

 the remains!!

It makes me exhausted all over again to look back and see what all we accomplished in a week!!! It also makes me feel extremely BLESSED to have so many wonderful family members to share holidays with.

I do have a few things to post for 2012 but that will be another day...

A little late but HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
