Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas break and have all been a little sad to say goodbye to Betty, our elf, and see the tree and Christmas lights come down. (Setting our alarm clocks tonight will be the worse, though!)

Over break the boys decorated gingerbread houses

and made sugar cookies.

On the 22nd, we celebrated at Grandma Kathy's house. The boys had fun with their cousins Ava and baby Claire. 

On Christmas Eve-Eve we celebrated at Grandma and Grandaddy's house. One of the highlights of the night was everyone playing Caleb's "Pie Face" game. :)

On Christmas Eve we made two stops to celebrate with two sets of extended family, but I didn't take many pictures...which apparently was a theme for this Christmas. :(

The Hume cousins showed up with their ugly Christmas sweaters!

The family pictures are always a little awkward, as there are usually about 20 or so people watching in the foyer. 

Christmas morning came and the boys' smiles were priceless.

That evening we went to Daddy Joe's house to celebrate with the Fowler cousins. Luke and Reed had the best time playing together!

The next day we stayed home ALL DAY (except for a quick trip to Game Stop!) and the boys played. Since it was so nice they started on the mining sets they got in their stockings. 

The boys love having dinner and a movie in the playroom so they asked for TV trays for Christmas. They were so, so happy with such a simple, low key evening!

The next day PeePaw, Grandma Beth, Uncle Matt, and Hallie Girl came to town. We had two more Christmas celebrations, but I failed in taking anymore pictures.

We did go to Bardstown one afternoon to have lunch and shop, and Caleb decided to go with us. I had to take this picture, as he was just looking so grown up that day!

Our last celebration came on New Year's Day as we had the privileged of seeing our sweet cousin Caroline get baptized. We are so proud of her!
