Christmas 2013

Once it gets close to Christmas, sugar cookies and icing are a MUST at our house!  It makes such a HUGE mess but it's so worth it!

Kaleigh "helping" to mix up the cookie dough!  I was pretty sure that my $9.99 Walmart blender was going to burn up during this process!  Surely a Kitchen Aide is in my near future!

Time to roll out the dough, although, this didn't keep their attention long, icing is by far their favorite part! 

Daddy helping Kaleigh with her decorating!  She ate more than she decorated!

Alec was SERIOUS about his this year!

 

 

BEAUTIFUL and YUMMY TOO!

Kaleigh was my professional chopper when it came time to start prepping for Christmas dressing too!

 

Headed to Nana's for Christmas Eve Fun!

 

Everyone looking festive in their Santa caps in Ellisville!

 

Trying out some new Chap Stick, she doesn't go ANYWHERE with out at least 4 tubes of her "CHA STICK".  Makeup, "Chapstick" was really the only thing she wanted for Christmas!

 

She LOVES feeding her new baby!

 

Gumballs and a gumball machine from Uncle Grant, she says "can I eat this" as she's putting a gumball in her mouth!

Yet another piece of gum!

 

Watch out, he's got a bb gun!  A special gift from Dad!

 

And Alec got an even BIGGER gumball machine!

And a cool new bike from Nana and Paps!

Alec racing Dad on his new bike!

Britt and Uncle Tim with Mamaw!

Mamaw and most of her grands and greats!

Kaleigh is FINALLY giving Uncle Tim some sugar!

Mamaw and all of her kids!

Bed head look on Christmas morning, just rolled outta bed!

Kaleigh was super excited!

Sleepy looks while checking out their gifts from Santa!  Blue and Pink 4 wheelers!

MY MAKEUP!!

Kaleigh opened up stuff faster than we could see what she got!  She's a pro at opening boxes!

Christmas morning PJ Picture

I look most forward to taking this picture every year!

Headed out on the 4 wheelers!

Sister promptly ran hers into the fence and fell off right off the bat!  Thankfully her driving skills are improving quickly!

He LOVES his four wheeler!

This dog lives to chase four wheelers, if he gets his killin' by this one day, at least he'll die happy!  Almost 12 years old and will run behind the four wheelers for hours!

 

They kept us busy running around the yard Christmas morning!

Brother can't get enough riding!  The cold didn't bother him at all, he kept going and going and going!

Yep, My 88 year old Grandmother swiped a turkey leg off the platter while Uncle Treless was carving it up!  She would die if she knew I got a picture of this! 

Cousins having fun riding around the yard Christmas Day!

Gotta be fast too keep up with cousin Will on the real 4 wheeler, he doesn't yet have a clue what he's doing!
