Fun Christmas in Atlanta

 Love all these crazy guys!

 It rained a ton during the week before Christmas and anytime it was not raining we tried to herd all the kids outside.  Here they were playing Mother, May I?


 Scott had bought Ryan a light saber for Christmas and was DYING to give it to him early-so I let him!


 on the condition that the light sabers had to live in the back of the car-they weren't even allowed inside Grammy's house!
 Bev, Ashley, and Blythe playing spot it!
 We had a sweet visit with Uncle Wayne and Aunt Boo!
 girls playing an around the world map puzzle game
 Cute smileys!
 Brave scooter riders to go down Grammy's steep driveway!
 After church at Passion City on Sunday

 Playing at a park





 We met Katherine and visited while the kids were playing at the park and then had a yummy dinner at Cracker Barrel with her


 We had a great visit with Grandaddy and Granny Joan too!





 Grandaddy brought the boys some cool scout patches!



 We had Greg open a present we had brought him so that Grandaddy and Joan could see.  The boys REALLY wanted him to have this Yoda Santa hat with the great ears!  It says "Happy your Holidays Will Be"


 Uncle Jake got in on the light saber battling a little.  The boys all went Monday afternoon to see the new movie together!  They gave rave reviews and I was happy not to have to go!





 Joy and Grammy reading together-after some chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast!

 We had fun playing tricks on Grammy! 


 Can't believe our firstborn will be a teenager in May!!!!!  We already can't keep him in groceries and pants that are long enough

 Ashley had the idea to play spa with all the girl cousins-she did hair and I did nails!



 On another break in the rain, we decorated the driveway for Christmas and many miles were put on scooters!

 Blythe loves a good worm to play with!
 Gingerbread people!
 Now Greg has the lightsaber
 Ryan is still fond of trains!
 Stratego!

 An awesome gingerbread house!



 Scott in the butler's pantry getting a little snack-how many pieces of fudge did you say I could eat?????


 Stockings!!!!

 Grammy is holding back the masses!
 One of Ryan's favorite things is canned biscuits!





 Uncle Jake got some dynamite popcorn!
 Ashley got a new watch!

 Craft and Lego central!

 The annual cookie decorating extravaganza!



 Cousin sandwich squeezes goodbye!  We had a great time (missed all the Gregory cousins though) and drove home from Grammy's on Christmas Eve-with a fun stop on the way-for the next post!)
