A (Very Belated) Christmas Story

Well Happy New Year! I am so behind.....

And wow did we have a lot of Christmas celebrating this year!

In chronological order, we celebrated with: Jared's immediate family, my dad, my mom's extended family, my immediate family, and then Jared's extended family! And truthfully, although the boys were starting to get pretty worn out by the end, it was so nice to get to spend some time with everyone.

Really, I wish we could have had more time together, to just visit, most of these days. It always just goes by so fast....

But here's some of the fun we had.

Bridger sitting with Grandma and Uncle Kevin. Looks like he might be eyeballing some presents off to the side, there....

And Holden - rather play with Mac than open presents

Watching the fire with Daddy

Graham: The Ladies Man

And cheesin' with Mom
(not our best photo, since someone was accidentally zoomed in... but still :))

Time for presents! Here's Hannah showing off her candy.

And Holden lovin' on his new Panda bear

Graham loves Brianne ♥

I love this face. He was so excited. Legos PLUS they're Disney Cars characters. It doesn't get better.

Bridger's turn

And now helping Mommy

No one's looking but Mommy. Stinker boys.

Some more of the family

Presents are great.... but see that cup, there? Yea, milk is better, Dad.

Jared opening his shirt from Mom and Dad

The "Mama" and her three handsome boys

Isaac and Uncle Tyler

Someone's surprised..... :)

Kevin and his new kicks from Jared. Haha.

And we continue our legacy as Browns fans.
An outfit for each boy, courtesy of Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jen!

Mom and Dad opening their presents

Her new purple bracelet. Because sometimes it's just fun to "gild the lily." ♥

And then Megan and her family came home......

It'd been four months, but finally Graham got to meet Aunt Megan :)

And silly Bridger was cheesin' with his beautiful blue eyes

Dinner with the cousins. What an ornery, rowdy bunch....

Holden dancing in the kitchen with Mimi

And our "gingerbread" (aka graham cracker) village!

And then it was on to Dad's to celebrate..........

Baby Graham got to meet Grandma Burns, too!

These two. Just look at them. They're like the definition of trouble, right there.

Talking with Grandma Burns

The Party People

And because we always have to have one... the token camera picture of Corey.... taken by Jared.

Relaxin' on the job.

Yup.

Me, Emily, and Megan. The girls :)

And me and Jared

Visiting

"The Point"

And it's time for gifts! Holden opening his new tractor

It was a chainsaw!

Helping build. Happy boy.

Even MORE gifts. Such lucky lucky little boys I have.

And our whole family on Christmas Day ♥



I hope you all had as much fun and love, and as many blessings as we did this season.
