we had a wonderful Christmas. we were blessed to spend time with much of our family and that included a week with carla, grace and cooper. the kids loved every second of the time together and only one thing was missing.....ed. ed has a few more months in afghanistan and his return home can't come soon enough.
starting with Christmas eve, at mom's. mom made an awesome dinner that was a duplicate of Thanksgiving. my most favorite meal.
here buxton is saying "can we open presents already!"
elin received a new trike from mom and bill. she loooooves it. it's a schwinn and the steering mechanism for the parents is the best i've seen.
we hosted the smith family at our house on Christmas day...it was too crazy to take pics! but 2 days later we went to howdy and doris' for a get together with all the cousins. lots of picture`s were taken!
all the cousins except one (buxton, hunter, elin, grace, lakes, cooper and rivers -brooks is missing):
the girl cousins:
the cousins and the grandparents:
here is sweet cooper the day they went home to KY:
and grace and elin in their matching dresses that carla bought in Italy this summer during their family trip. these are handmade by a woman who owned a little clothing shop near a place where they stayed. what an awesome gift! elin was pretty sick with RSV in this pic (we didn't know it yet), but she is finally well now.
we are looking forward to a great 2012!
