Christmas Day

These are in reverse order again... On our way home from North Carolina, we stopped at my parents house and spent Christmas eve there and the headed on to Kelly & Andrew's (Chris' sister's home) that afternoon, so that's where these start. I was not feeling great, so I didn't do the best job taking pictures. Here is Ansley with a Wii game from MaMa and PopPop. Kelly & Andrew have a cat - poor thing was probably overwhelmed with all the company, but Luke especially wanted to find and pet that sweet cat.

My dad wanted to get a family picture - actually, he wanted a video, so we all stood there in front for a minute while dad talked. It was kind of funny (Ryan & Ginger were with her family in Plant City, so they missed out ! :-) ). I threw my camera up there because it felt more like it should be a still shot rather than a video. Notice our precious daughter was not being cooperative. What a pleasant face! ha!

The great part about being a dad on Christmas - getting to put together toys!

My sweet grandparents. They will probably make a fuss about this picture being on there, but I couldn't resist. They're so great. They have been married forever (ok, I can't remember the exact number, but it's been a long time. I think they celebrated their 50th when Cole, who's now 7, was a baby, or the year before he was born?) I am sooo thankful that they are here and fairly healthy and my kids get to have great-grandparents! I am looking forward to getting to see them again as soon as basketball is over!

This is Luke's little personality that is starting to come through - the happy, goofy, silly type. He was pretty excited about his new car garage.
