Christmas at Ma and Papa's

Christmas night we always go to Ma and Papa's for Irish stew-YUMMY! Then an evening of opening presents. 

 The girls were surronded with presents and did so good waiting there turn to open!

Jack helping out Papa open his present!



Paw Paw and Nana's House

Christmas at Paw Paw and Nana's house is always a lot of fun. With 9 grandchildren it is never boring! This year Paw Paw started a new tradition. He bought a smoker and cooked our lunch...and boy was it good!  Nothing beats a good smoked meat!!

All the kids got a fishing pole from their great grandfather Gus McFarland

Christmas Morning

 Christmas morning we all slept in till almost eight o'clock! Which never happens! The girls would have slept longer but Walker was ready so we woke them up. Ivy came down the stairs the slowest not knowing what to expect! It was fun seeing their smiles and their wide open eyes!

Christmas Eve

After Service at church we came home to eat one of the kids favorites...Crab legs!!  I would have never thought they would eat them but after they tried ours on vacation they loved them! Even Reese, my picky eater eats them as fast as I can crack them.

The night before Christmas...

Christmas Eve Service

 The kids always want to do a crazy picture after we take a family shot.  Since we didn't get a very good family shot...you get to see our crazy family!!

 Walker-Very proud of him.  He read the Christmas story durning the service and did a very good job.  He said he wasn't nervous until he turned around and saw all the people!

 Sweet Jack-10 months

 Daddy's girls

Christmas

Just a few pictures from church on Sunday. I am surprised they all looked at he camera!

Reese loves her baby brother...she's my little mama!

Seeing Santa

We got to take the kids to see Santa and his Reindeer this past week!  The kids were excited to see the reindeer but didn't care to much about Santa. The deer had some amazing antlers with one of them missing one.  Walker thought was pretty cool. He wanted to take it home!

 Ivy and Reese wouldn't get into the sleigh without me!

 

 Sweet Jack, His first time in Santa's Lap!

 

Downtown Christmas

Last night we took the kids to down town Hiram to see the lighting of the Christmas tree.  We walked around town seeing Santa, a live Nativity, and lots of Christmas lights.  There was even a snow fall the kids enjoyed!

 Ivy loves her cotton candy!!

Jack just loves being outside!!

Nine Months

Jack is now nine months old!!  Is is now crawling, pulling up, and has two teeth. He is weighing in almost as much as Ivy.  Sweetest little boy you can ask for!
