Christmas with the Pennys

On Sunday we had Christmas with the Pennys. Doug cooked a wonderful meal and the kids had fun opening their presents. It was a great day! I've added a few pictures to let you see what all happened in our home that day. It was a fun day!

No family Christmas is not complete without a funny pose

Here's a more serious family shot

Nic's family photo.

I have a feeling this will be our family photo next year with the 2 boys

Us with Maddie Mae and my ever growing belly

How could we not forget Papaw and Nana?!?!

They really do love each other!!!

Ross got REAL cowboy boots from Uncle Doug and Aunt Kara.

By the looks of his daddy's face, I think someone is jealous!

Kalyn opening her gifts. It was a "Dora the Explorer" Christmas for this little cutie!

Her Dora doll and suitcase

Nana and Kalyn checking out her new Dora phone. She got a Dora purse, suitcase, pajamas, panties, and a dress up outfit.

Someone is going to be a train conductor. But where is his train???

Someone may have found another present. Could it be his train set??

Ross and Kalyn opening the "suprise" package

Unfortunately he was not disappointed. He got a train set! Papaw was showing Ross how to work the new train.

Will & Drew got some great stuff too. We are set with 2 bouncy seats, a toy train, car seat activity things, and personalized name plates for their rooms. Thank you so much Nana, Papaw, Uncle Nic, and Aunt Kim

Christmas with the McMath Family

Alecia and Michael and all the kiddos came in this weekend to celebrate Christmas a week early since they will have company on Christmas Day. It was a different change since we have always done Christmas with everyone on Christmas Day but things are changing and we are adjusting. Mom cooked a wonderful meal and we had fun watching Anessa, Anna Grace, and Peyton open their gifts. Anna Grace wanted Papa Bill to help her with the gifts. She was a big girl at opening her gifts this year! The kids got all kinds of toys and clothes from us and were definately spoiled by Nana and Papa Bill. Enjoy the pictures of our Christmas with the McMath family!
