Christmas at Papa's

Somehow I have no pictures from Christmas at my Dad's house. I think I was too busy watching and helping kids open gifts all at once. As we do every year, my dad made a yummy breakfast casserole and Shannon made cinnamon rolls and we all went over mid-morning. Then the little cousins gave each other gifts. Matthew gave Rexford and Austin hockey sticks and balls and they have had lots of fun with them. They take a big bucket and use it as a goal in our yard. Little Anderson gave the boys new color changing cars for their Cars set and they play with them all the time!

Anderson slept through the opening of gifts :)

Then it was time for gifts from Papa. Rexford got a new outfit (he calls it the Georgia Bulldog shirt because it has black, red, and white stripes) and a remote control car he'd been asking for that actually drives on the water too! We took it over to Shannon and Wayne's house to test it out in their pool and it worked! Rexford loves it and drives it all over and can't wait to drive it in the pool again. Here's a video of Rexford driving his car in the pool.


Austin got Cars pajamas (he was so excited he tried to take off his clothes and put them on right there :) he loves them!) and Chuck and Friends Stunt park with little motorized cars that do stunts on the track and bridge. He plays with it all the time and Rexford likes it too. Austin even sleeps with the cars some nights :)

After playing and hanging out we went out to visit more family. We came back over in the evening to see Caleb and Catie once they got in town. They were sweet and brought the boys new sweatshirts from Marineland. The boys love that they have dolphins on them and they look so cute in them, and they loved seeing Caleb and Catie.

Two things: Dad did not make the cinnamon rolls, I did! Also, I have pictures of your kids from Christmas morning at Dad's, but you only asked Alyson, not me.

It says Wayne wrote that, but it was obviously me, Shannon.
