Christmas in Fort Payne

On Sunday, we got together with my family to celebrate the Holidays. The night before we left Jeff told me that he wanted me to go ahead and open my gift from him. He thought I might want to take it with me on our trip. He was right! He got me a new camera! Yea! I was very excited. I had really been wanting one for some time now. It's just what I wanted and I have already taken A LOT of pictures. I am still trying to figure out some of the settings so some of the pictures are a little too dark.

We left Sunday after church and drove to Fort Payne.  Here are the girls in the car....

The girls LOVED opening their gifts.

 

Look at that face!!! I think she likes it!

Nana and Paw Paw got everyone a little table with chairs for Christmas. They also got a tea set. They had so much fun playing together!





Madyson and Logan trying out the table!

Last  year we took a picture of all four of the girls on Nana's couch.

Here is last year's picture:

It was so much harder taking this year's picture. They were not cooperating. This is the best I could get:



All five grandchildren

 Here are some pictures of the girls playing with their new things in the playroom. They love to color and play tea party.

I can't believe Christmas is almost here. We are looking forward to seeing what Santa brings to our house.

 Merry Christmas!!!!

Here comes Santa Claus....

Well...it's been awhile since I have updated. We have just been getting ready for Christmas. We are almost done with our shopping but there are no presents under the tree. We didn't see the need this year. We knew the girls would just unwrap them. We also only decorated the top half of our tree and most of our decorations stayed in the attic. We just didn't see the point because these girls can't keep their hands off of ANYTHING!

The girls got to meet Santa at Bass Pro Shop before Thanksgiving. They were NOT his biggest fans. They started crying immediately. I used to do the same thing so hopefully they will grow out of it. Here is the picture:

I love Santa's face....HILARIOUS!

On Monday, Santa made an appearance at Libby and Logan's daycare. Logan was home sick but Libby went and got to sit on the Big Guy's lap again. This time she didn't have her sidekick and she was NOT happy. I am sure she is wondering why we keep doing this to her.

We are looking forward to a wonderful Christmas with the girls and the rest of our family. This can be a stressful time of year but we try to keep the "reason for the season" in our minds.
