Christmas Time All Over

Merry Christmas everyone!  Our Christmas was celebrated in stages again this year.   Here are a few pictures from our get together with Michael's side of the family a week or so ago.



I love this picture of Rachel...she looks so grown up!


And Jackson loves Katie Puppy - he chases her and plays with her as much as he can.  



Rachel and Chloe in stripes.


Rachel was the only one of the three cousins that would cooperate for getting a picture in front of the tree... we did try though!


Her new bike!  Jackson likes it too...


This past weekend we made a quick trip up to Charlotte to visit with my side of the family.  We saw everyone but just for a little while!



Trying on their new hats with Nana!


Having lots of fun with Ted too!



The grandkids separating the presents on Sunday.  I hardly have any pictures from this day - Rachel wasn't feeling good and Jackson was trying to nap (unsuccessfully)... I wish I had taken more pictures though!!!

 

Rachel was still not feeling good the morning of Christmas Eve and I thought she was only getting worse - but she laid down to rest (never napped) and got up feeling much better.  Thank goodness!  We tried something new and went to Papadeaux for dinner on Christmas Eve... Expensive but delicious!!!  Rachel got to wear one of her new dresses.  Can you tell she likes to pose?


They were both dancing.






Now in their Christmas pajamas...before bed on Christmas Eve.








Both kids slept until 8:00 this morning.  I would have slept later myself if I had known they would sleep that late!  Oh well... At least we got a better reaction from Rachel this year than in the years past.  All she really wanted was a robe and earmuffs...and she got them!


He loves Mickey!



And she got a new watch to help her learn to tell time.


Jackson trying on his new coat.


We had a great Christmas.  We stayed here and relaxed all day.  Michael's parents came over this afternoon and spent the evening here with us.  No rushing around and packing up or anything - just hanging out, playing, resting and enjoying a fire.  Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well!
