Christmas 2009

Here are some pictures of our Christmas this year!
This year we had three Christmas celebrations.
The first was in Arkansas with Alan, Deanna, Emma, Izzie, Darlin', Papa and us! Since Alan's work schedule doesn't allow him to take off to come celebrate in Tennessee, we came to them!

Here are the girls diving into gifts...

I was REALLY proud of my two as they WATCHED their cousins without opening their gifts from Darlin' and Papa (theirs would come later)Here are Darlin' and Papa with their Mr. and Miss cups from us...arn't they cute?

And Alan got stylin with Chloe's new hat!

And then we were all blessed with lots and lots of Karakoe singing!!!!!



The next week we celebrated at Darlin' and Papa's...and I cannot believe I did not take pictures!!!! We were spoiled! The girls got endless bags of stylin' clothes, a Karakoe machine and much more! Mom and Dad were also spoiled with clothes, goodies and a NEW T.V.!!!!!!

Thanks so much Darlin and Papa!

Cute Uncle Scott and Mindy and Phil were there and they spoiled us, as well! Though it wasn't on Christmas day, it was a wonderful time! I even made cavatini (my BFF Sarah's recipe) while Scott brought salad and bread and Mindy and Phil brought....a birthday cake!!!! thanks guys.

After lunch we headed for Arkansas and then Oklahoma....
On Christmas Eve the girls were ready for Santa with cookies and milk....

Is he up there?

I only got a few pics of the magical morning,

but here was a precious hug from Devin to his Mommy

Dad engrossed in his new map

and the most exciting gift of the year......

Of course the next day we got to get Chloe's ears pierced!

Oh, I forgot to mention on Christmas Eve it snowed!!!! Here is Chloe's angel......

We had a blast making our snowman,

but Daddy needs to learn how to snowball fight with GIRLS!!!!

After they started crying cause daddy pelted them in the face, they got a free target....




Now it is back to the real world......boo hooo.
