Christmas Pre-Festivities

Backing it up a little bit, we also celebrated Christmas with Mom's side of the family the weekend before Christmas. Her sister and their crowd were going on a cruise for Christmas so we did our celebration a little earlier than usual. To be honest, I loved doing it earlier! It made the couple of days right before Christmas a little less hectic, hopefully we'll continue doing it that way. :) It was great to see my cousins and little William who is just a couple of month's older than Callie. William wasn't feeling the best that night, but he was such a good kid even being sick! We had to of course get a Grandmother Grandkid picture, couldn't get the kid's to look, but still cute!

William gave Callie kisses and it was so adorable! This was before we knew he wasn't feeling well, or trust me I wouldn't have let this happen....

Of course the little ones got spoiled with tons or presents!

Callie and William wanted to play us a couple of tunes on the piano. They had the best time banging on it!

Callie has also gotten into playing with "babies." She got this one particular doll for her birthday and the stroller is Emory's and she has loved it! She usually tips the stroller over and the baby goes flying out. The poor baby then gets placed back in the stroller, but usually upside down. Oh well!

Kate this year wanted to bring a Happy Birthday Jesus cake and I of course wasn't about to turn that down! Here we are trying to get them to blow out the candle's. Callie blows if you say something is hot, but it wasn't hard enough to blow the little candles out, so I had to step in and help her out. :)

We had a wonderful time with everyone! It always goes by so quickly and I can't wait for another reason for us to get together!
