Christmas

I know its already 2008 and I'm just now getting my Christmas pictures up, but it's only the 2nd! We had a very fun, busy Christmas holiday. Started off Sunday the 23rd at Aunt Susie's house. John's cousin, Barbara, and her son, Jamie, flew in from Deleware for the holidays. So we visited with them, ate, and opened presents. After that we all went to Pops & Grams house and spent the night. The next morning (Christmas Eve) we ate breakfast and opened presents. The grandkids got little rocking chairs, toy boxes, and clothes.
The next stop was to Grandma & Papaw's (my parents) There Mitchell got a tricycle, a horse, clothes, books, and flash cards. Grandmother, Pawpaw, and Pappy also came over to watch their great-grandkids open their presents.
John and I decided not to go all out this year for Christmas so we just got Mitchell a little ball pit, a train set (bought on E-bay for half the price, woohooooo) and some shoes. I think the train set was his favorite, even though it's not really been set up yet. We have to make a little table for it, then glue it down, because someone is a little destructive!
After we played at home for a while we went up to my grandmothers house for breakfast. I look forward to this breakfast as soon as the Christmas holiday starts. It's just something we have always done and I love breakfast! Mitchell got a toy tool set from Grandmother and Pawpaw and some money.
Uncle Daniel & David also got Mitchell a little indoor basketball goal and some clothes. He really loved the basketball goal. Thanks guys!
We just want to say thank you to everyone for Mitchell's gifts and for ours as well. We are so blessed to receive all of the gifts, but we are even more blessed to have families who are so loving, caring, giving, and supportive! Thank you!

Pops & Grams got all of the grandkids their own rocking chair. I think they all loved them. Mitchell likes getting in his and sitting backwards.

Mitchell sitting in the Carey chair. At one point this chair belonged to Pops, then it got passed down. I guess John was the last one to get it passsed to, since he was the youngest.

Mitchell playing with cousin Jamie. I think Mitchell was playing, rearrange everything on the fridge and Jamie was putting it all back in order! HAHA

Couldn't resist putting this picture up. I'm sure they won't like it too much when they are older, but its cute now.

The kiddos had lots of fun running up and down Aunt Susie's hall!

Not real sure what features Mitchell got from me, except for the hair and eyes!

He loves his horse. Loves giving it kisses, pressing his ear (to make the noises) then riding it!

Grandma & Papaw got Nolen & Mitchell a tricycle just like this one and little Trevor man got a Radio Flyer rocket!

I only cut Mitchell out, because he was drinking a cup, not looking at the camera! HAHA

Best picture we could get of all three of them together! (Mitchell, Trevor & Nolen)

Mitchell liked using our real tools so much while the construction was going on that grandmother & Pawpaw got him his very own tool set!

He loves his basketball goal!

We gave him the ball and he new exactly what to do with it! SLAM IT!
