Christmas 2011

This is going to be a bit of a Christmas overload...


This is Aiden's "smile"
 Friday was spent with Brandon's family. It is always so much fun to see the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and great grandchildren. Since the family keeps getting bigger and bigger, it is harder for everyone to make it at the same time. So this year, they decided to celebrate a couple of days early so everyone could make it while still being able to have their own family celebration. 
All the great grandchildren...Jackson, Avery, Aiden, and Lucas


I cannot even tell you how long it has been since we've had a picture taken of just "us".

Lil Miss during the "opening of presents"....passed out on Grandad and Grandmama's bed!

This SERIOUSLY was the BEST family picture taken that day!  A true reflection of his personality...

Saturday morning was my families Christmas morning since Christmas fell on a Sunday this year. My little sister (she's 18!) is the biggest kid of all! 7 am, here comes Shelby, waking Aiden up so they can start opening presents. Lol. My mom, I mean Santa, always does such fun stocking stuffers. It is something that we all look forward to. Aiden got a bike and trampoline which will be so much fun in the spring! Ainsley got lots of girlie baby toys and a pink and white rocker glider for her room.

Uncle Blake and aunt Haley or as Aiden says, "Haywee"

Uncle Blake...he is, no lie, the BEST with kids.   He doesnt even have to try and they LOVE him!

Gotta love that morning hair!  He didnt care for sis trying his new bike out!

Aunt B (Shelby)


Saturday night we went to Brandon's parents and celebrated with his mom, dad, brother, brothers finace, and papa. It is our tradition that Christmas eve is always spent with his family. Aiden got more Thomas stuff than he knows what to do with and a sandtable!  Ainsley got a video monitor which we are LOVING!

Sunday morning we went to the candle light service at Brandons home town church. It was so special to be there with his entire family on such a special day!

Sunday afternoon and night was spent with my family (memaw, aunts, uncles, and cousins).

We are so blessed to have so much family!  We are always busy making the rounds to make sure we see everyone.  We wouldn't have it any other way!  I love that our kids are constantly surrounded by tons of love :)
