Christmas Adventures

I'm attempting to put all Christmas pictures on one post so it will be quite lengthy. Okay, Christmas started really early around here. Mollie, Macy & Maggie came to spend a few days with Nana and Papa before Christmas. Needless to say, Will had to stay all night as well. They convinced Nana to let them open a stocking present each night. Here they are waiting to be given the green light to open their present for the night. Here is Walker doing his new smile and showing you his ornament he made at Sunday school.

And here's Will's ornament.

Will & Walker's preschool Sunday School class (L-R) Reagan, Clayton, David, Will, Walker, Maddie & Katie (not shown little Maddie).

Here are the kids singing their song from the Christmas Play, "Find the Lamb".

After church we went to Shannon's Aunt Lana's house for the Stephens Christmas party. Here are Alexa, Walker and Maddie posing in front of the tree. Notice Walker's smile again.

Here are the kids playing a little game in the garage.

Here is a picture of one of our 5 Christmas trees, the Snowman tree. I've collected snowman ornaments since Shannon & I got married 10 years ago.

We always go to my Mom & Dad's on the 23rd and open presents on Christmas Eve. Shannon and my dad had to work on Christmas Eve so we opened presents the night before. Don't worry, we still got up bright and early to see what Santa had left for the kids. Here are Papa & Nana with their grandkids.

Will & Walker opening gifts. We love TRIO's!

Here are the kiddos in front of Nana's Santa tree.

The kiddo's again posing with Uncle Nick.

Christmas Eve morning - Santa left all the kids new bikes. Here is Will testing his new bike out. It was very early and very cold, but that didn't stop any of them from trying out their new bikes.

Then we went to visit Grandma Cunningham.

Our next stop was Christmas Eve night at my Granny Irvin's. This year we celebrated a little differently at LWC. Here is Uncle Nick with Will & Walker.

One of my favorite pictures of Walker. There was a horse and buggy lit up and Walker had to go pet the horse.

My Mom and her family. L-R Granny Irvin, Rosie, Dean, Cha, Louise, Mike (just got married a few hours prior), Mom and Arlene Another favorite picture of mine- Will, Granny Irvin, Walker and me.

Mom & Dad

Oh, look who got caught giving Walker his upteenth chocolate chip cookie. Walker knows exactly who will give him cookies; if Papa is around Walker will have a cookie in his hand. If he sees me then he crams it in his mouth.

Back home to wait for the big guy. A letter from Santa, left in the tree for Will & Walker.

Christmas morning is so exciting. Will came in and told me Santa had come and he thought he saw a big square box. He waits for Walker to wake up before he opens any presents but he made several trips from our bedroom to the tree to report back to me about what Santa had left. Here is Will with his Wii.

Walker with his rocking horse.

This picture cracks me up. Will, Walker & Daddy all got these head light thing-a-ma-bobs (not sure their technical name). Walker put his light on with his new guitar and his snow boots. Too cute!

Walker before we went back to Granny Irvin's. My camera was acting crazy so I don't have any pictures from Christmas Day at Granny Irvin's.

Our last Christmas party was at Shannon's Mom & Dad's. Here is a picture of me and Walker opening presents. Walker feel asleep on the way from Granny Irvin's to Pa & Granny's. He slept through supper but the kids couldn't wait any longer to open presents so they woke him up. Needless to say he cried hysterically everytime someone looked at him. He did not want his picture taken, and did not want to open presents.

Walker finally woke up and played. Here are my nephews with the boys T-B Nathan, Walker, Will and Shawn Glenn.

We have had a wonderful Christmas and been given the opportunity to spend time with family and friends. We are very thankful for ALL of God's blessings!
