Merry Christmas 2013!!!

We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas this year.  We got to see almost all of our families, and that was so special.  Josh and Bryant left the Friday before Christmas to head down to Bainbridge.  Josh stayed at the duck camp and hunted, and Bryant spent some time with Jama.  I think they both had fun. Then Taylor and I joined them down in Bainbridge on Saturday.  Josh's brother and his fiance and Josh's sister and her family both got to Bainbridge on Sunday.  We all got to hang out a lot and do different traditions that they always do.  We stayed there through lunch on Christmas day.  So Santa came to see the kids in Bainbridge this year.  Santa got the kids lots of great stuff, and every one else was extremely generous too.  It was really sweet.  Christmas afternoon we all headed to Opelika to spend some time with my family!  All of my sisters and their families came too.  It was so much fun!!  I do have to admit though that it was quite crazy.  Bryant was older this year, and we had two additional kids (Taylor and Wells).  I wouldn't have traded it for anything though! We all just played, celebrated Christmas together, hung out, ate, and had a small baby shower for Grace.  It was great!  We finally got back home yesterday…and boy was it nice to be home.  Being gone that long, especially with two young children, is quite tiring.  We definitely had a blast though, and below are lots of pictures proving it!

 Coming in Christmas morning.

 Checking out all of his stocking goodies.

 He got a scooter from cousin Charlotte (Meghan & Chris)

 He of course had to ride it immediately. :)

 A hot wheel case and track from Uncle Jon & Aunt Rachel.

 And a guitar!

 What a great Christmas surprise!!  Meghan & Chris opened an envelope telling them whether they are having a boy or girl!!  Since I didn't ask whether I could share the sex or not, I better not, but we are SO excited about having a new cousin next June!

 Sweet Taylor finally woke up and got to check out her presents from Santa!

 Precious

 She loved her toys.

Cutie did a great job helping me open her presents from everyone.

She LOVED her piano from cousin Charlotte (Meghan & Chris)

 ADORABLE!!!

 Wells (Hillary & Evan's baby).  How stinkin' cute is he!!

 Bryant got TONS of train tracks from Jojo and Pops.

 This is right before Bryant and Tyler destroyed Josh's hard work!
