Christmas Day 2011 was a fun one. We spent Christmas Eve in Princeville, and went to church there Christmas morning. Then, after church, we opened presents at Grammy and Papa's house.
Grammy and Papa's Christmas Tree - ready to be attacked:).
Each year, Aunt Kara gets the kids a new ornament, one relevant to what they loved most that year. This year, she found these very cool Mickey Mouse/baseball ornaments that combined 2 of the boys' loves from 2011 - playing baseball and anything Mickey!! She even had them personalized with the dates of 2 big events in their lives - our trip to Disney World in October and on the flip side, the date of their first Major League Baseball game in St.Louis. I LOVE that she has started this tradition for them, and think that it's such a cool way to look back over the years and see visual reminders of what was important to them.
Aunt Kara and her favorite boys.
Trying to get a good picture of Brock and Kyle before they open their gifts. Sometimes I think it's almost as important to document the outtakes as it is to show the good picture:).
Love this one!!
The end result - finally!!
Grammy and Papa with their boys.
Present time!!
Ali was there, too!! Probably just sleeping or eating when all of the picture taking was going on:).
My funny guy - chances are he was shaking to present to see if it was something better than clothes:).
After presents in P'ville, we headed to Roanoke to spend the remainder of the day with the Lemans. Grandma was not feeling too bad and was able to be up to enjoy all of her company.
Ali getting some cousin love - with Maddie
and with Whitney - apparently the events of the day had worn her out:).
Even Uncle Scott took his turn.
And, one cute pic to commemorate her first Christmas. It was a beautiful day:)!!
