Some more Christmas...at the end of January

Christmas at MeeMaw and PeePaw's.

 Elynn loving on Coozie.

 Elynn was interested in helping PeePaw with his gifts, but did not open one of her own during the entire holiday season.

 MeeMaw and PeePaw give the kids boots every year (until you turn 18, then you pretty much just get money and deodorant and soap. Growing up ain't what it's cracked up to be.) This girl has worn her boots every single day since she got them. 

A washing machine was on her Santa list, but Santa had already secured a "car with a wurkin' radio" so I handed that request off to the grands. Adam had to put it together which led him to announce that if it has to be put together MeeMaw and PeePaw have to do it, or she ain't getting it. Which brought up the fact that my daddy's least favorite part of Christmas was having to get out in the cold on Christmas Eve night and drag a bunch of junk out of the shed. Of course, that comes from a man who likes the house to stay somewhere between 85 degrees and hot-enough-to-roast-a-pig. This is also the man who started drinking Mt. Dew to cut back on his caffeine intake. His theories aren't always reliable.

 There is not one picture of Elynn opening a gift because she was too busy for that non sense. Here sister was more than happy to open them for her. This was her favorite gift of the evening. 

 And this was my favorite picture. She has since then asked Jesus on multiple occasions to "give me a big brother like Clay cause I love him so much."

 We played the annual money game and after another year of straight up luck we came home with the jackpot. And thank goodness cause momma may or may not have gotten another speeding ticket and this will contribute to the payment of that little dandy. (That's 3 tickets in the past 5 years for those of you keeping track at home.) I told everybody they should just take one for the team and let me have the money anyway strictly out of sympathy.

 Monday night we went to Adam's Aunt Bec and Big Horn's house. I've always got the crying kid. But the best part of this is the disgusted look on Reese's face.

 Christmas Eve Eve Santa sent a note with Sophia and Sparkle that Reese and Elynn could play with them that one day. Of course, Reese was so excited and spent the day having tea parties with them.

 Christmas Eve lunch at my PaPa's.

 We went home from there to make Christmas cookies for Santa...

 Then out the door again to Adam's Granny's. And I lied. Here she is opening a present.

 We had front row tickets to this sold out event....

 Then we rushed home, got in bed by 9:30, and waited for the big man to arrive.
