Part 3 of Christmas was at my parent's house and it consisted of our family of 4, my parents, and my brother's family of 4. My parents got a 4 wheeler (for themselves) for Christmas, but of course, we all get to play with it! Thanks Nana and Papa! (helmets to come)
Jayna and Papa
Barrett and Papa
My brother, Jeff and our nephew, Grant (5 months old)
My brother's family:

Me putting together the ginger bread Christmas Tree
Now this is funny... I didn't upload ALL of the pictures, but we must have taken almost 30 pictures trying to get all of the kids to look at us and smile. NOT an easy task. Grant and Presley are professionals though. My kids on the other hand... they get distracted, their smiles fade, Barrett wants to run over and look at each picture, Jayna starts to slouch... one thing after another! haha!
CHEESY CHEESE! GRRRR....
The boys:
The girls:
This photo-shoot wasn't as bad, but we had the same problem...
Present time!!!!
The kids got boots for the rodeo this January!
And the present that Barrett has been waiting all year for....
A Mickey Farm! He has literally been asking for this toy every day for months now!!!
After all of the presents were opened, we got our stockings. Every year there are scratch-offs in our stockings and occasionally someone will win big, maybe a couple hundred bucks. Bonham has been wanting to pull a trick on someone for awhile... so he purchased some fake tickets and put them my brother and my dad's stockings. My brother didn't fall for it - he didn't even say anything about it. He quietly handed it off to his wife, Amanda and she hid it under her arm. After a closer look, she realized it was fake. We waited for my dad to scratch his. The kids kept coming over and he would get distracted, but as soon as he scratched it, my mom snapped this picture! Priceless! haha!
He stood up and asked my mom to double check it and she started laughing.... and that was it. He knew that it was a joke at that point. It stinks that he didn't win, because he said he was going to share it with us. :(
This is a picture of him about to get up and show my mom.
Can you see the excitement on this face?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
One more Christmas post and then we can move on to other topics. :)
