Christmas Eve

Grandaddy and Maw came for a visit on Christmas Eve. Maw brought Brunswick stew, dumplings, ham, pie, and cake. Have you ever had coca cola cake? If not, you are definitely missing a treat.

While Lee and Grandaddy carried the toys inside and assembled them, the kids played outside. Wyatt quickly saw new toys through the window.

Tyler would have LOVED this train when he was Wyatt's age. Now he must settle for chasing him around the track.

I have heard my mother say a hundred times that all she wanted when she was little was a bicycle. I always wanted a doll house. Of course Brianne had to have one.

After all the excitement of the morning they were ready for their nap. Even after her nap Bailey was exhausted.

Before the kids went to bed we fed the reindeer.

Wyatt did not understand what we were doing but he sure did enjoy throwing out the food.

Bailey just wants to eat the plastic. She is just happy she is doing her two favorite things.... being outside and biting on plastic. I don't understand why she likes plastic but not food. We have to take it away from her all the time.

Putting the stockings out

All I wanted was a picture of them all sitting at the fireplace. It was easier to get a picture when we only had one child. Now they just gang up on us.
