Christmas 2012!

 How wonderful it was to be in Van Buren with all of our family on Christmas! We went down to Van Buren on Sunday and headed home after breakfast and gifts on Christmas Day.

Kimberly, Elizabeth and Robert decided last minute to come to Van Buren instead of us driving to Texas. We were so glad to have them with us, but really missed not having Wrenn since he had to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas. 

 The boys were so happy to have their cousins in Van Buren!

 

 We exchanged gifts on the morning of Christmas Eve since that worked better for the little ones.

It was so much fun!

 Christian loved his cowboy hat and boots from Pops and GoGo! They were on the top of his Christmas list this year!

 Andrew received lots of fun toys from his uncles and aunt!

 GoGo received a "special" gift from Will....the groundhog that was eating her flowers for months was finally caught. So Will had it stuffed and mounted!!! A unique touch with the flowers in its mouth too! It was so funny!

 Andrew got his first Wii game, a Hot Wheels car racing game Track Attack!

 Elizabeth received lots of fun toys too! GoGo got her some pretty bracelets!

Somehow, I did not get a picture of Robert with his gifts. He was too busy using his new toy vacuum  from Uncle Jim and Aunt Angela. 

 Will and Andrew enjoyed a tea party together with Elzia

 Christian enjoyed reading some of his new books!

 

 Andrew was helping GoGo in the kitchen!

On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, we went to see Joe and Tammy. Brad was in town from Washington D.C. too. They recently bought a new house last week so we got to get the full tour before they even moved in! 

 

 The boys helped get the cookies ready for Santa!

 Look what Santa left!!!!

 We were so glad to spend our Christmas with our family! Later that afternoon on Christmas Day, it began snowing in Van Buren. They received several inches while we did not see one snowflake in Bella Vista. Luckily, we got our first snow the Friday after Christmas. We had a relaxing evening at home watching the snowfall! Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
