Christmas in Arkansas - Part 2

I got a few shots of the kids before the Christmas Eve service.

They were actually happier than usual to pose for me.  Daddy helped me get some smiles.

Jilly and Aunt Meredith after church.

Eli leaving milk and cookies for Santa!  Daddy helped him write the note.

I just love Christmas PJ's!  They were getting fussy by this point and not really wanting to get together to take a picture.

Christmas morning!

Cooking breakfast in their new kitchen from Santa!  This was the first year Eli really understood that Santa brought him what he asked for.  So fun!

Sweet girl...and her CRAZY hair...checking out her new matching game.

Eli said, "Santa ate my cookies!!"

Stocking goodies!

Jilly got a lot of dress up stuff in her stocking.

She loves to load up with all her accessories.  Bracelets, necklaces, gloves, sunglasses, shoes...she wants to wear everything at the same time!

Time for presents!

Eli's new book from Aunt Meredith.  He has it memorized already.

Eli was SO excited about his new drum from Papa!  He plays it everyday and even sometimes shares with sister.

Sister and her new shopping cart from Meemie and Papa!  She put her new baby in front.  So cute!

We had a wonderful Christmas and the kids are having a great time with all their new gifts!  Thanks family!

Christmas in Arkansas - Part 1

We started out our visit to Meemie and Papa's house with some baking.

Poor Meemie trying to help both kids cut out cookies.  They loved helping but made a big mess!

What a ham!

Eli helping Meemie roll out the dough.

Time for drum lessons from Papa!

Jillian and Aunt Rachel.

We went to the square in Fayetteville to see the lights.  It was so cold!!

Aunt Rachel and Josh.

Aunt Meredith and Eli.

Eli with Meemie and Papa.

Eli loved riding the horses!!

Eli riding on Uncle Marty's shoulders.

This was the best family picture we could get.  I don't know why I always wait until the end of an outing to try and get a picture of the family.  You would think I would know better.

Davis Christmas

We had Christmas with Stephen's family the week before Christmas.  We had a morning brunch and it was SO good.  Aunt Liz made sure we had our sweets covered though.

Perfect little Christmas tree cookies!

Grandmommy giving Jillian a taste of monkey bread.

The kids played and laughed all morning!  My boy looks so old in this picture!  Jillian and look-a-like cousin Kymberly.

Sisters-In-Law

Baby girl.

Jillian and Grandpa.  She has him wrapped around her finger!!  He was feeding her every bite even though she is perfectly capable of eating on her own.  Stinker!  (he was loving it though.)

Eli opening his bowling set from Grandmommy.

Jillian holding tight to Uncle Scott.  She wasn't sure she liked Santa.

But Eli loved him!

Concentrating on opening her scooter!

Grandmommy opening her canvas of the kids on campus.  Sic 'Em!  (excuse the plastic wrapping)

The girl cousins in their tu-tus!  Jillian has been wearing hers every day!!  Thank you Aunt Carrie!

Carter and his Daddy.

Eli LOVES his scooter!

Someone was starting to lose it.

Sadly, we waited until the end to try and get a picture of all the cousins.  This was the best one. :(

More Christmas to come!
