Christmas, Christmas & More Christmas!!

Christmas pj's?? CHECK!

 Making sure we're on the nice list?? CHECK!

 Having so much Christmas spirit that the kids sit by each other?? CHECK!!

 Time to party! First off was Mamaw Bev and Papaw Larry's...

 Parker and Austin loved playing with their dinosaurs together! 

 Painting

 Next stop - Papaw John and Nana's. But before we opened presents, Chloe got in a swim with Aunt Katie. 

 Parker loved being behind the wheel of the Gator!

Santa came!!!

 Chloe and Aunt Katie having a tea party at Great-Grandma Hackman's house. Are you SURE that's tea???? Just kidding - We love you Aunt Katie!

 Uncle Aaron and Parker must have seen what a good time Aunt Katie was having and wanted to join in the fun!

 Christmas with Papaw Rocky, Mamaw Mona and Uncle Trav

  Both the kids got a new TV and DVD player for their rooms

 Chloe was so excited that she "fainted".

Christmas cookie decorating 101

The kids and I did some last minute Christmas cookie decorating. The kids really enjoyed helping!

Parker was in no mood to get his picture taken as this picture shows...

Cookies and Christmas Programs

The kids and I made Christmas cookies this weekend. The dough passed their inspection with flying colors.

 Sunday was the kids' program at church. Parker wasn't up for picture taking...

 Chloe sang so well on stage! 

 This was as close as Parker would get to going up to sing...

Breakfast with Santa

Saturday we had breakfast with Santa. Neither of the kids wanted to sit on his lap when we got there.

 Chloe and Bryson were buddies. She had to show him where they were going to read the story.

It's an annual tradition for Mommy, Ashley and the kiddos to go to breakfast with Santa together. This was our second year, and we plan to keep it going!

Here is last year's picture to see the kids changing.

 Daddy helped Parker with his crafts

 Chloe wanted to do hers all by herself

 Chloe finally warmed up and sat on Santa's lap with just slight hesitation.

 Parker decided it would be safer to just stick with the giant snowman and try to get his candy cane.

First Snow of Winter

The kids loved playing in the snow this weekend!

  We had a snowball fight so taking pictures got a little dangerous!

  The kids were very proud of their snowman!

Christmas Tree 2010

Once again, Chloe found one she loved and had to snuggle in for a picture.

 Parker liked the Charlie Brown Christmas tree types

 Parker took a nap, so Chloe and I had to do something to fill the time...

  Parker woke up in a good mood and ready for a spaghetti snack

 Chloe, I'm not sure, but I am almost positive Uncle Trav can see your cards...
