Christmas and New Years

Well Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We were blessed to have Dave's parents with us for Christmas. We enjoyed some nice time with them doing things around town and just hanging out here at home. We are thankful that both sets of grandparents are willing to travel to be with us, especially for the holidays when we don't want to travel ourselves. Above is a picture of John with one of his favorite gifts, a Tackle Buddy. It is a fun toy that you tackle and it bounces back up again.





Christmas picture. Notice John's chipmunk smile. This is how he smiles for the camera these days. See how Adam is pressed up against my cheek? That isn't me doing that, he does it himself. He is SO cuddly, we love it.

After Christmas we all packed up and headed to Atlanta to be with Dave's sisters and their kids. All in all there are 8 grandkids (7 boys and one girl). Connor and Bray are all John's age so they have fun together. They all like to pretend to be Buzz Lightyear. We all went bowling, out to eat, and a had a fun gift exchange. The Willis Family got a trampoline from Santa for Christmas so everyone had fun jumping on it. And in case you were wondering, YES, I got Chipotle. It was heavenly.

Below are some attempts to get a picture of all the kids.

Connor took John's car during the photo shoot. I love the look on Connor's face.

All the adults trying to get a picture


I guess that was a good as it was going to get!

Cheers and Happy New Year!

Loved looking at the pictures! We had such a good time with you all over Christmas! It was great to then have the whole family together over New Year's. Special times for us even if it is crazy at times.
Love,
Doreen
