Christmas with the Fam

We have had a busy, yet fun, weekend!  We started off with Christmas with the Browers' Saturday.  We had originally planned on doing both of our family Christmas' at our house prior to this hiccup in the road.  John decided it would be easier on him to still have them at our house.  He could go to his own bed and sleep if he needed, but he also thought it would be easier on me with the kids being in their own home.  I totally agreed.  

Before everyone arrived.  Mason had his pirate gear on...although he said he was a ninja turtle.  

Reese blessed our food. 

 

The spread.  It was probably a little harder on Mrs. Judy because she cooked most of the food and had to bring it over to our house.  It was all so good!

We brought a table out for the kids.  Brody got to sit up there like a big boy.  

These two were waiting patiently to open presents. 

Reese found our gift to her and thought it was shaped like a guitar.  She asked Mason a thousand times to tell her what it was.  In this picture she is saying "tell me" and he is saying "noooooo".  Well after all the waiting...he gave in a told her it was a guitar.  Guess I know who not to tell anything to anymore!

Grandma Reba and Papaw Bill.

Griffin and Brody.  

Let the madness begin.

And it's a pink guitar. 

She's a little hipster. 

All five of these kiddos sitting still.  It may have taken a lot of high pitched squeals, singing, and skittles.  But ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Best friends one minute...

Fighting the next.  =)

This was the best we could do.  Robert (as well as the kids) refused to look at the camera...

It really was a fun day.  The kids had a great time.  Reese and Mason do so well playing together.  I can only imagine what it will be like with all three of these little boys growing up together.  I'm sure just a little more wild and a little more fun.  =)

We had Christmas brunch this morning with my family.  You just can't go wrong with brunch food.  

This little one has gotten a lot more "toddlerish" this long weekend...I can already see what our future holds.  Here is is sneaking up to the presents...all the while knowing he should not be touching them. 

Mickey Mouse and Mason.

He patiently waited to open presents until everyone had theirs.  Such a sweet, sweet boy.  

Sean and Lisa got John a helicopter.  He's been playing with it ever since. 

Mamaw opening up gifts.  

 Sean and Mason having a great conversation about who knows what.  

Family pic.  The last of our Christmas gatherings.  

Even with a cold, he can still enjoy some chocolate pie.  

We gave our parents and Robert and Becca a bottle of "Fat Bastard" for Christmas.  There was a card along with it that stated not to drink the wine until they got a call from us saying John beat that "fat bastard".  I'm ready to drink it, so he needs to hurry up.  =)
