Down Time at the House after Christmas

A visit from Madison (and family!) Lots of Crafts Brody and Findley think they are big time trying to figure out Ainsley's new game Findley loves to draw Watching more snow!!!! Enjoying a good snack together!! a little dress up..... Brody and Findley are loving all their new fire truck/station toys!!!! *Both boys are becoming very possesive of things - notice Brody has Ainsley's game tucked under his legs while playing just so nobody else can use it! He got a vacuum cleaner from Ryan's parents (he LOVES to vacuum!) and he would put it on top of Diane's pile of presents away from anyone elses reach every time he had to stop to open a present! Too funny to watch - the stresses of a two yr old!!

Ross Christmas in Texarkana

Dolan Christmas

My family came over Christmas afternoon for dinner and festivities! Uncle Stephen couldn't wait to get his hands on these legos!!! The men watching the turkey! Brody and Findley keeping warm by the fire! What a wonderful day. Merry Christmas to you all!!!

Christmas Day in the SNOW!!!

I think Ryan and I had way more fun than the kids in the snow!!! We don't have much in the way of appropriate winter wear!! One of the boys had socks on their hands!!! They were fussing getting cold but Ryan and I had work to do!!!! We managed to make three quick snowballs, admire and head inside to sit by the fire!!!

Christmas Morning

Ainsley and her American Girl doll, Brody and his saw, Findley and his grocery cart....this is pretty much what the rest of the morning looked like! Lots of fun!!!

Santa Preparations

Cookies and Notes! Scattering food for the reindeer! Ready for bed......

Christmas Eve Service

Sad this is blurry but totally captures their personalities right now!!!! CRAZY! The boys went up to the altar (with a little support from Dad - lower left corner) for their first time in big church with us to hear and "perform" the Christmas Story. Ainsley sang her heart out with the children's choir. It was a beautiful service!
