christmas with the family

We had such a WONDERFUL Christmas this year! Jamie decided that having kids at Christmas is tons more fun (last year Audrie was too little to get into things, but this year was a blast!)

We spent Christmas Eve in Green Forest with Jamie's family.





It's always fun to see how many people we can fit into Donna's house!

I decided to celebrate by eating as many desserts as I could!







Audrie and some of her cousins...

(and their momma's taking their photo!)

Audrie hoping that if she cuddles up to Tucker he'll give her another candy cane...

Audrie really got into the present opening this year, too!

Kameron got her the cutest baby doll and stroller which Audrie LOVED and pushed around all night!

We made it home in the snow storm that night and woke up Christmas morning at our house to the BEST gift ever... finding out the gender of our little baby!

Then we woke up Audrie and let the mayhem begin...

Of all the fun presents Santa got her- I think she liked the $1.00 harmonica in her stocking the best!

Audrie on Christmas morning in her pajamas.

I made some breakfast...

while Jamie helped Audrie play with her toys.

And it was a WHITE Christmas (which was so pretty).

We went to my mom's house later that morning to celebrate with my family.

Audrie helped my mom and dad open their gifts.


Audrie actually started running a fever the night before and wasn't feeling so great.

But she looked awful cute in her Christmas dress!

Stone always plays SO great with Audrie. She likes him a lot.



The magnetic link sticks were a big hit (I guess Nathan is supervising here...?)

Naturally Audrie just wanted to eat them. Candy?

Apparently they should have asked Emma- she had it all figured out!

Ah, the cute Nathan & Kim...

And Audrie trying to get in front of my camera here to get my attention...

"Seriously, MOM, give me a candy cane!!"

"Daddy, mommy won't listen to me..."

Jamie?


Anyways, we really had a great time with our families and waking up at our house with Audrie on Christmas morning! Hope all of you had a truly blessed Christmas, too!
