Christmas Day - part 2

We all left our house around 9:30 a.m. on Christmas Day and headed to Andrea and Kevin's house. I don't have very many pictures for some reason. Genna pretty much played in their play room or Mary Frances's room the whole time, only coming downstairs to open a few presents. For those of you who don't know my crazy child, Genna does not like fireplaces. She's okay with ours since I guess she's used to it and knows that we never have an actual fire in it, but anytime we go to a house that has one, it takes her a long time to warm up to even being in the room with it.

Andrew was very social, though, content being passed around and opening presents.


This is the only picture I have of Genna or Charlie. They gave her the Play-Doh Ice Cream Shop and she LOVES it!


Mary Frances opening the locket that Memama and Grandaddy gave her (Genna got one, too). She is definitely a girl who loves jewelry!


Andrew's first football. And it's even the right colors!

Christmas Day - part 1

Santa came!!!


Genna was so excited about the bicycle that he brought to her!


She immediately had to go to her room to get one of her animals to ride in the basket.




Andrew just looks like he's thinking "what am I supposed to do with this???"


He really likes this little truck.


Genna picked out presents to give to everyone from just her. She was SO EXCITED to give them. Memama got hand soap, Grandaddy got a Wall-E puzzle...


and Daddy got bouncy balls. Notice the necklace she is wearing. She was jumping up and down from excitement as she was telling Brian what it was before he could open it.


Andrew got a Little People barn and a shape sorter.


Genna was also thrilled with "her very own Barbie" as she kept calling it.



I think Andrew likes his barn.



He also likes the keys that Genna gave him.


He actually helped open presents...he enjoyed ripping the paper.


The best present anyone could have given him!!!


We had a very fun Christmas morning and were so glad to have Memama and Grandaddy here to share it with us! Our children are very blessed by all of the people who love them and they will both be busy for a long time playing with all of their new toys!

Why is there a tree in my house?

Andrew's first look at the Christmas tree....very confused.


"I'm sure I can reach that if I try hard enough!" (and he did)


still trying...I guess it was mean of me to sit him just far enough so he couldn't quite reach it.


Genna trying to teach him how to hang ornaments.
"and see, this is my kitty and he goes right here"
