We headed out Christmas morning.... but not before we did our usual traditions
1. birthday cake for baby Jesus
2. present exchange
3. Christmas story reading
.... the kiddos were beside themselves excited to see our sweet family. And there was to be a little LOT of snow in the forecast!
*****
**so we packed up our snow gear**
*****
1st stop- Grandma Harris! She was a wonderful host {per usual :) and even watched the kiddos for Joey & I to go see Les Mis- BEST EVER!!!!!}. Allison & Prissy picked up right where they left off...
*****
Allison is just beautiful- I can't believe how grown she is... and she is so sweet to my little Prissy. We love you Allison-ny!!!
*****
We were fully expecting to have to share Tyler with his girlfriend this year.... A-man was a little concerned that "Tyler wouldn't want to play with a girl around". But as it turned out- they had each other all to themselves and A-man was overjoyed!!!!!
They are such cutie pies :)
They are such cutie pies :)
*****
Uncle Jamie was a good sport with the "weird-o glasses"
and his impression of the Beast was equally as impressive!!!
*****
The Harris girls- all together!
*****
sledding was a plenty!
and so were the wipe outs...
*****
Joey was the BIGGEST duck in the puddle!
I forgot how fun it is to not have to worry about schedules and homework and ballet and piano.... and be... dare I say it??? Dangerous....
*****
Speaking of dangerous.. A-man got his 1st BB gun. He is very safe with it though & adores it!! {He hit ALL 4 of his first 4 shots on the target- YEAH A-man!!}
*****
Bloomfield made the news with having the most snow in the entire state.... This BIG guy was waiting on us when we drove up :)
*****
We had a few little falls... Joey won the award for "best wipe out ever" per Uncle Travis. I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants- thankfully he did too!!!
*****
Papaw happily carried A-man up to the top of the slopes nearly every time he sledded down {ah the love for Grandchildren}. Meanwhile Cooner whipped up "the best hot cocoa ever" in ALL of our opinions!!!! THANK YOU COONER!
*****
Then we dried off and while our clothes were in the dryer, we painted cookies {another little tradition of Cooner's}. SO FUN!
*****
A-man and Papaw.... our taste testers!
Then he asked Papaw if they could go back out.... and just guess what he said??
*****
Uncle Travis waiting for us at the bottom....
*****
Then... we had to go in for the night.... and tears began :( He wanted to stay out in the snow with the boys with his gun... forever!!! He would have stayed in Indiana if he could have.... but I couldn't spare him.
*****
Thank You
EVERYONE
....for taking time out of your busy lives to spend time with us- we {heart} ALL of you!!!!!!!
