Christmas Celebrations, Part 3

After Christmas, we drove to Memphis to be with Jeff's family. With nine adults, two babies, and two dogs, it was a full house for several days! But it was a very special time since we're rarely all under the same roof. And it was doubly special for Mimi and Papa Greg because it was the first time that they had both of their grandchildren together.

Mimi and Kaitlyn

Noah and Kaitlyn got lots of clothes, toys, and books. They also got their very first pair of Robeez.

We tried to get them to model their new shoes, but Kaitlyn was more interested in her new remote control, and Noah was apparently trying to eat her shoulder.

It's always fun getting the cousins together. They keep getting more and more aware of each other. They always seem more interested in what the other one has. Should make things interesting as they get older!

We were blessed to have Aunt Gayle join us for Christmas this year. She was great with the babies, and she gave the dogs lots of love and attention. Poor Kasha and Chloe...they used to be the center of attention before the babies came along. Now they spend most of their time chasing each other around outside.

With so many people together in one house, it nice to have fun activities to do. So Jess bought a puzzle with a travel theme (sure to go over big in our travel-loving family!) Jeff got things started, and then the rest of the family got hooked. We finished the whole thing in less than 24 hours. It was actually a challenging puzzle since the whole bottom row of locations wasn't even pictured on the box. Try working part of a puzzle with no picture to reference! We were very proud of our completed puzzle, so we had to take a picture :)


Thanks to Jess for taking most of these pictures!
