Holiday Recap 2014

Thanksgiving
We spent Thanksgiving down in Blanding.  With most of my siblings there with their kids there plus a straggler from the Wilson bunch all camped out at my parents, it made for a pretty insane Thanksgiving.  My mom did a fabulous job organizing so it wasn't too overwhelming.  James and Libby had a BLAST with all their cousins.  Since then James has been calling most little boys Grant.  It fun to see them old enough to finally play together.

Haha this picture is so funny!

No Shave November.  Scott was growing for months, Jared only a week, and Gregg for a month.

Minute to Win it!

One morning all the kids headed to the football field to release some energy.  They all had a blast

Cutest girl!

I had to post this.  The Foo-Man stache was pretty epic!

December
I was way more excited about Christmas this year than in past all because of James.  He had so much fun doing lots of Christmasy activities all month.  It was really fun to see him learn more about the true meaning of Christmas and to understand more than I thought he could.  With the Wilsons going to Philly for Christmas, we headed down to Blanding.  It was a much quieter vacation to say the least.  James was excited for Santa but not excited enough to get up before the sun to open presents.  James and Libby really had fun at first opening all the presents but soon lost interest (Libby much sooner than James).  They just wanted to play with the presents they already had.  We spent the rest of the day relaxing and playing games.  It was so much to have Drew and Paige come down and to see John David and Di and their kids.  We had so much fun playing games, hanging out, and eating way too much food.

Clearly one kid loves Santa....

and one does not.

Blurry but so pretty.

Christmas morning!
