Christmas in Lexington

We packed in a TON of fun in just 24 hours this week as we traveled to Lexington to visit my family! The kids jumped and bounced all over the place at Monkey Joe's and loved every minute.

We made a ginger bread house and quickly learned that Tricia, Courtney, and Cameron hogged all of the creative genes. Hanna and I have none of it and neither does Henry. Our house was cute, but not near as intricate as theirs. But it was so fun to do!

Roof work by Henry

TT tickled the ivories a little with some Christmas Carols and the kids loved it! Even Manning got in on the action.

Durham the bookworm even had Papa reading her a story! I LOVE her LOVE of books. She has to be the cutest 17 month old on the planet!

Two Mannings

Three Babes in a Bath
(Henry's favorite part of the whole night)

Four Generations
We're just missing one special lady. My Mama! I know she was smiling down the other night as we had a house full of laughter, music, food, sweets, and most of all love!
Just like the good old days, but with 3 new little people added to the bunch:)

Christmas with Nana and Papa

Nana and Papa came down last week and brought a trunk full of presents for the boys and us. We had so much fun spending time with them and H and M loved all of the wonderful gifts!

Well, Manning actually only liked the wrapping paper:)

We enjoyed some fabulous filets courtesy of Papa and a great dinner to go along.

Thanks so much for everything! We love you!

Breakfast with Santa

Christine and I took the kiddos to have Breakfast with Santa again this year. Click here to see some pics from last year. John Wesley United Methodist really does a great job with this every year and it's such a treat for us all!

We ate a yummy breakfast, stood in line to sit on Santa's lap, got their faces painted, and then did some cute Christmas crafts.
Neither of my children were afraid of Santa, so that made for a pretty cute pic!

Henry loved having his face painted like Rudolph:)

And of course this little jolly baby was just along for the ride and lovin' every minute!
