Countdown to Christmas

Whew!  Christmas got here quick this year!  We tried our best to take a good picture of the kids with Gigi and Boom for their Christmas cards, but instead of smiling nicely, they were much more inclined to do this...

Goofball City!

A few days later, we had our first family gathering with Papaw and Sharron.

The weather was still really nice, so Jackson talked Boom into playing some baseball.

He didn't have to twist his arm too hard.

Lila, Sharron and Papaw enjoyed watching the game and got in a little swing time for her, too.


Last year, Papaw recorded Frosty the Snowman for the kids.  They love it so much and had fun listening to him tell the story again this holiday season.  So, it was really exciting for them when he brought Rudolph this year.  What a wonderful keepsake.

After they listened to the story, it was time to tear into the gifts.  Yay!

Then, they got to give them this really cool blanket.  It was a big hit.


After dinner, the girls entertained everyone with many holiday songs. 
I think this one was "Santa Claus is coming to town."  They rocked it.

There were smiles all around that night.  Love these two more than words can say. 

Stay tuned...
Christmas Eve is coming up next!
