Finally I get to make our Christmas on New Years post. My internet has been down since New Years. We had a very busy but fun time all together. This year the kids came in on New Years Eve to start our Christmas celebration. Kim , Scott and Cooper got her Wednesday around noon. Ashley, Jordan, Morgan and Kennedy came in around 6 that evening. Kim, Scott, Cooper and I made a trip out to Air Tractor to visit PaPaw. That evening we enjoyed lots of yummy finger foods and celebrated the New Year coming in together. Whitney and Jason came down New Years Day. We had a steak lunch and opened gifts. The weather was wonderful so we ventured outside for awhile. Morgan rode Ginger and Cooper got his first ride. Kennedy enjoyed petting the horses and sitting on Blaze. The guys did a little trap shooting there at the house. We rode the ranger around and just enjoyed the out doors. Ashley and Jordan had to go back to Abilene Thursday night since Ash had to work on Friday. They came back Friday night. Friday, Kim, Whit, Kennedy, Cooper and I had a fun day of shopping in Wichita Falls. Morgan stayed home with MaMaw and enjoyed a trip to the Sonic, the park, Dollar General and doing about whatever she talked MaMaw into doing that day. We had fun on our girls day out. It has been a long time since we have had one of those. Kennedy and Cooper were both really good at town. We had several people ask if they were twins. Saturday we all went to Mondie and Dale's for our extended family Christmas together. The guys enjoyed trap shooting while the girls rode the ranger and checked on the cows. Others stayed inside to visit and Morgan loved playing with the dogs and checking out the pigs and the cows. I think Kennedy and Cooper were pretty much just held all day. Peyton enjoyed playing outside with Morgan, riding the ranger and checking on the animals too. We had a very large lunch and can you believe the guys barbequed during the day and we had ribs and ect that night. Saturday night Morgan wanted to camp out in the trailer. So, she and I slept out there. It was warm that day but a cold front came in during the night. Needless to say I froze to death but I think I kept her snuggled up close enough that she was warm. Sunday we all attended church together. We had chicken tacos for lunch and whatever else I got out of the icebox. I wanted all the food gone when everyone left. We had a WONDERFUL time together with everyone there. With eight adults and three children in one house, we went through tons of paper cups and went through lots of rolls of toilet paper and took out tons of trash but it was alot of fun I think everyone's gifts all turned out good and everyone had a enjoyable time together. Eveyone starting loading up around two and I believe Ashley and Jordan were the last to leave. Morgan always ask, daddy can we stay just one more day. I started putting thisngs back in place and finished up around nine that night. It took me a few days to get rested back up but I did and now I am ready to go again. Merry Christmas to you all and hope you enjoyed being home for a few days. I know you were all ready to be back to your own homes but I sure did appreciate your all being her for a few days. Love all you kiddos (big and small) and thanks for the gifts you gave and the GIFT of just being here.
