Christmas at GeeGee and Grandpawpaw's






































Our Christmas continued as we traveled to Granbury on Christmas eve to GeeGee and Grandpawpaw's house. It was a beautiful drive and definitely memorable to drive with white flakes and "blizzard" like winds blowing. Thankfully it was warm the day before so the roads were not bad until after we arrived.My sister Amber and brother John were also there with their families. This year we bought all the kids matching pj's and cups with their names on them. With 5 kids three and under figuring out who's sippy cup is who's can get a little tricky :) We did get a picture of all five in their pj's. What a challenge that was :) Logan knew about Santa this year but was not really into it and the other kids were still too young. I am sure next year will be filled with letters and leaving cookies out. Christmas morning we woke up to white outside. It was beautiful. It had stopped snowing and the sun was out. After breakfast we bundled up and went to play. It was the first time for Logan to play in snow. The snow was too dry to make snowballs, but a rope and a piece of cardboard made for great fun. Uncle John and Billy had fun pulling Logan around the yard. Later in the day we exchanged gifts. This year Logan was really excited about unwrapping the gifts and even accidently unwrapped one of Luke's. Thankfully Luke is was not upset. Logan then took on the job helping pass out gifts to all, which he loved. The living room was quite busy. It was full of shredded wrapping paper, toys, kids playing, parents trying to free toys from their boxes, shouts of thank you's and your welcomes. We spent the rest of our time their playing with new toys, napping, visiting, attending church and eating. Grandpawpaw got a cute little table for the kids. It was so funny to watch Marley, Luke and Logan enjoy meals together. What a crew, each so different.
Thank you GeeGee and Grandpawpaw for a wonderful Christmas and time together! We love you!
