Merry Christmas!

A little late but we wish you a Merry Christmas!  Such a busy time of year for everybody and our family is no exception. We started our official Christmas celebrations by having Kelee, Chad, Mallory, Luke, Nana & Papa at our house on the Friday before Christmas for dinner.

Mallory showing off her new organza flower headband I made for her!

"Sprinkles???"

Now she knows what the sprinkles were for!

Caleb LOVES the airplane that Papa made for him!  Isn't it cute?!

We woke up Christmas morning, just the three of us, and Aliceson made special Blueberry Cheesecake tarts and eggs.  We then opened our gifts for each other and packed up and headed to Brenham.

Caleb LOVES his new Lightning McQueen tent!  Thank you to the lady on Woodlands Online selling this for $5!

Loving all his new books!

This boy LOVES stickers!

I LOVE this pic and the next.  Caleb got his first jump rope in his stocking and was jumping SOOO high trying to make it work just right!  Check out how high his feet are off the ground!

"Vrooming" his new airplane.

Daddy got chocolate in his stocking!

and new PJ pants! 

Mommy having a little help finding out what's in her stocking.

Caleb loved helping Annie open hers too!

Annie doing tricks for a taste of the treats she got in her stocking.

Let the unwrapping begin!

"New puzzle!!!"

A new camera bag for the DSLR!!!  Yay!

Looks like the present went to the wrong person but it didn't!  Aliceson got tools!  Ali's always complaining she has to go out to the garage and dig through everything just to find a hammer or screwdriver.  Not any more!

Christmas day lunch was at Mimi and PawPaw Niemeyer's house and we had a full crowd!  It was great!  We had Great-Grandma and Grandpa Frank, Great-Great Granny Gallagher, Aunt Pee Wee, Uncle Ralph, Uncle Grady, Uncle Sigmund, Johnnie and Linda.  Uncle Charles, Tristan and Nicholas stopped by for a little while too.  Later in the afternoon neighborhood friends Leann, Janice, Lexi, and Mary came over to exchange gifts.  Busy day but it wasn't over yet!!

 

Paw Paw Niemeyer checking out his candied pecans and molasses cookies!

Caleb thought it was funny to wear Mimi's glasses (don't worry, they're very very weak strength).  I'm kind of secretly hoping he needs glasses some day because he looks sooo handsome!!

 

Paw Paw picked out matching caps for he and Caleb!!  They were wrapped together and everything.  Caleb is sure to remind us that he matches Paw Paw every time he puts it on! 

Another puzzle!!

Nice Annie.  ;)  LOL

For supper that night we spent time at Nana and Papa's house with Uncle Jerry, Uncle Larry, Aunt Judy, Kelee, Chad, Mallory and Luke!

We spent a few days in Brenham just enjoying our families before returning home.  We hope your family had a wonderful Christmas as well!
