Christmas morning

 This year we have had two Christmas's because Jennifer
 and family, minus Tyson :(

came a couple of weeks early.

It has been a blast!!!

On December 13th we opened presents...

...like new jamies...

...and games.

I made Jennifer a "Family Yahtzee" game which turned 

out super cute. All of the 5 blocks have their

pictures on the sides.

Quincy got a cute new doll that I think looks kind of like her!!!

 Merrick got a Transformer!!!

And Berkleigh got a Lalaloopsy Mermaid!!!

Quincy seemed to love her wooden

frog and train.

I also made Jennifer a new photo book of the first

 6 years of her life.

(Thank you Shutterfly)

It turned out really cute!!!

And we got her a new sweater that are her 
favorite colors!!!

Then we had Santa pancakes for breakfast.

On the 25th, Matthew got this really cool

 Starship Enterprise.....

wait for it.....

...Pizza cutter!!!

Yes we are nerds!!!

We sent Chris one too!!!

Merrick, Berkleigh and Quincy made me a set of 8

dinner plates with their own designs baked right into 

the plates.

Love them...soooo cute!!! 
We have already used them!!!

So our Christmas might have been a bit fragmented,

and we totally missed Chris and Tyson so much,

but we had a fun time being together as much as possible.

Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

Christmas all week!!!

My little munchkins are finally here!!!

Jennifer Merrick, Berkleigh, and Quincy flew into

Houston on Monday night.
(We are missing Tyson a lot but he had to stay and work :( )

So when I woke up yesterday morning it

felt like Christmas already because I knew we 

would get to play with them all day!!!

The first thing they wanted to do was to go to see

the alligators down the road from us in Jennings.

This is the first time Merrick has held one.

Berkleigh has held one before when they were here

two Christmas ago.

After we got our fill of the alligators,

(which didn't take long because Quincy did not like them at all!!!)

we went to play at the park!!!

We fed the birds and the ducks...

Climbed on the oil well...

Hung upside down and....

...right side up.

Played with Grandpa...

They love this...

And they loved getting Grandpa dizzy!!!

QT loved the playground too!!!

And I guess we wore them out because they

slept until 8:00 this morning...

(You have to just love this picture!!!) 

which is good because we have another fun filled day

planned for today!!!!
