The Joys of Christmas!

There is nothing better than Christmas time! Every year we look forward to Grandma and Papa coming for a long visit! We fit in as much fun as we can! For example...

Sugar cookie decorating with cousins and Grandma
Christmas Eve celebration with my side of the family... and that's only half of us! The rest are in other parts of the house! (it's chaotic... but fun!)
The Real meaning of Christmas...
Fixing Santa his goodies!
Slipper time from Mom and Dad on Christmas Eve. It's our tradition! (p.j.'s from grandma and papa... that's a tradition too!)
Christmas morning... finally! We had four happy kiddos!
The mess is cleaned up and the kids are sporting their new Christmas clothes! On our way to the other side of the family for more celebrations!
This was the scene at Grandma and Papa's house before the presents to the grand kids were torn open!
It was a wonderful year 2009.... On to 2010! Happy Holidays to all!

Your parents do a little tree for each granchild? That is so cute!
I wanted to ask you where you had your family pictures taken? That railroad track and building?

What awesome traditions you have. I love the multiple trees at the grandparents house. Is that one for each kid or one for each family? Did you do some shopping at Justice? I see a sweatshirt that looks like one I got my daughter. Great pics!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! By the looks of all the happy little faces, it looks like you guys had a great Christmas:) We'll have to have a cousin get together sometime soon.

CUTE pictures! I'm glad you guys had a great Christmas. I can't believe Jo Ellen (i probably mis-spelled it) does individual trees for the grandkids. That is a lot of work, but oh so adorable!
