We really had a great Christmas. A different Christmas – we had a few less days off from work than usual, and we actually stayed at our house, which was lots of fun and pretty peaceful. Here’s a ridiculous number of pictures.
We did run up to Kansas for a get-together at Grandma Norma’s and one at Peggy’s. We also went to my 6 year old niece Addie’s basketball game. Her dad, my brother-in-law Rob, has been coaching her team.
The big game…
The cheering section:
The huddle:
The captive audience (I think they were just there for the suckers.):
The hustle:
The Coach, looking….”coachy”:
The good defense:
Christmas at Grandma Norma’s:
Stacy and Ashley:
The Presents (AND the very sticky substance covering the entire radius of my child’s face from the insanely huge lollipop on one of the presents)!…the guitar was by far his favorite. Thanks Aunt Vicki!
The Ward family picture (and the “special” Christmas attire):
Uncle Dave and his grandson Jacob:
The cutest baby – Brian’s cousin’s baby Chace…this kid tottled around with his little belly hanging out of his shirt the entire night. I finally caught him long enough to give it a little nom-nom. So sweet!
Cousins Alisha and Brooke – sisters and BFF’s.
And silly sister in law Kim, who brought us all the crazy sweaters and sweater vests!
And Santa! How did he know we would be there?? Brett, who’s usually a little bit stranger shy, immediately made a bee-line to stand directly in front of Santa and his big bag of presents, and waited patiently for Santa to pull one out with his name on it. And…seems like at family get togethers my husband always ends up on the floor with numerous kids climbing and jumping on him!
The Cousin Pictures: Notice one of these things is not like the others. Neither female nor happy. Stinker. Couldn’t even be bribed.
The tradition of the Socks at Grandma Peggy’s house. They all hang in the window, then magically appear full of warm socks, candy, gift cards, gummy bears, dish towels…
Ummm….I don’t know. Not sure what to say here…where’s the cape?
Peggy taking her new bike for a spin…
Santa sent Aunt Kim an Elf on the Shelf straight from the North Pole. We can’t wait to have him as part of our Christmas traditions next year! We have heard those silly little elves are lots of fun.
Thanks for a fun, memorable Christmas as usual, Kansas Family!
