Martin Christmas...

One more Christmas to celebrate!  We headed to Camden to celebrate with the Martin bunch!  It was close to bedtime so some sweet cousin's snuggled up for bed!

The next morning was spent making cookies...



playing outside...


meeting babies...

riding golf carts...
hearing the Christmas story...



and opening presents!
Belle found a bed just her size!  ;)
We tried for a Grandparent picture...that was interesting!  ha!


We spent the night again but Brad and Beth's crew went home that night.  The next day was a little playtime, then goodbyes...


What a crazy fun couple of days!

On the way home we went through Magnolia (our old stomping grounds) and showed the kids were Daddy proposed to Mommy...they weren't super impressed!  ha!

We made it home...with the bear somewhat still sealed up!  The kids were excited to see it pop back out!

We weren't sure how we were going to get it home but my dad made it work...yay!  ha!

Christmas Day!

Christmas morning = the best morning!  The girls woke up excited!  We held them off as long as we could but soon they were begging to wake up Jeter.




He was not as excited!  ha!

But then he saw what all the fuss was about and jumped right in!



Ryne has gotten so big...not a single toy request!  She was one happy girl when she opened this surprise!






After Christmas disaster area!  With a daddy hard at work!  ;)

It was beautiful so Ryne got to try out her bike from Santa!





After that we headed upstairs to check out the new kitchen!


Then back downstairs to start our traditions...
Ryne added some tunes to the morning...

We ate waffles, watched a little of the Disney Parade, then headed out for a movie!
Popcorn?!  Yes please!

Jeter actually slept during some of the movie!  Then we were ready to explore the fun Christmas area.




love these 3!








Next up...Ice Skating!


Not the most graceful bunch...but definitely the liveliest!  













After skating it was time to warm up with some pancakes for dinner.  IHOP Christmas dinner is one of our favorite traditions!  
It was a long, exhausting, but super fun day!  Love my people so much!
