Christmas Continued

So here it goes. Our Christmas in review. I do give a little warning that it is a lot of picture, but what would Christmas be without lots of pictures. And we start with the annual family picture.

For the complete family portrait session use this link.

Our tradional picture on the stairs in order from youngest to oldest. This picture gets a little harder and harder to take every year as the family grows in size and as my brothers continue to grow taller and cover us smaller ones.
Gavin was very excited to get to opening presents.
Funny picture, well thats the idea anyway. Cam said he was making Gavin's face, I guess that looks about right.
And our opened present under the tree this year was . . .
SNUGGIES!!! We all got snuggies.
There we all are showing off the snuggies, Cam got a little too excited and closed his eyes.
Kevin took his turn with the closed eyes this picture.
And now for the opening presents. Gavin was not really into the whole present thing. He did start to get the hang of it, temporarily.

However my mom's camera turned out to be much more exciting.
And here is everyone showing off their lovely snuggies.

And on to the traditional fashion show.

As you can see Cam was really, really happy to be modeling his Christmas clothing.


Mandy & Gavin on Christmas morning ready to enjoy some Sweet Roll.
And on to stockings. The couch is starting to get quite full.
And on to the Sweet Roll. This was Gavin's first time to try it. I think he liked it.

Gavin had a little friend helping him unload the dishwasher with Uncle Cam.


The Greer clan came over on Christmas day for a wonderful turkey dinner and round of White Elephant gifts.
Mandy showing off her beautiful pumpkin.
And Uncle Neil took home this beautiful poncho.
Looks like Cam will be keeping really clean with some bath salts and soaps.
Gavin opened some truffles, but unfortunately did not get to keep them long.
In my opinion this was the best gift of the night, found buried in Mandy's old room & perfect for White Elephant gifting.

Gavin showing off his new trick again.
The day after Christmas the whole fam went out to dinner to celebrate my parents 30 year anniversary. Yah!! Gavin slept through most of the meal, so he was busy stuffing his face in this picture.
And we ended the day with a Boys vs. Girls Rock Band showdown. I think we all know who won that one. boys.

Hard to see him, but Kevin was very into his roll as the singer.
A little out of order, but here he is again enjoying his first Sweet Roll.

Cam got a great new game we were all trying out.


Gavin was getting some pointers on his drumming from Uncle Cam.



Our little drummer. He enjoyed drumming on every possible surface in the house, however the trunk made the best noise.






On Sunday we ate lunch after church at Mandy & Cam's favorite Senor Froggy's.





We finished our trip with visit over to Freeman for a Christmas tournament basketball game, where we got to visit with more friends.
