Christmas on New Years Eve

Every year we celebrate Christmas with Terry & his side of the family,

the Saturday after Christmas. 

This year it happened to fall on New Years Eve! 

My Sweet Molly waiting for the fun to begin! 

My Giggly Emma!

Silly Molly, trying to open 2 presents at the same time! 

LOVE the expression on Emma's face when she realized it was

Minnie Mouse on her new Pajama's!

"*gasp* ooooh", she says :)

Daddy Kisses

Mommy Hugs 

(one of my favorite pictures ever of us together)

Precious Precious Cousins!!

I love so much watching these 5 play together!

They share the sweetest bond

Giggles with Grandmomma

Oh and shes good for hugging too! 

(probably the sweetest picture ever!)

Uncles are so much fun!!

Love this picture of my baby & sister! 

She is such a wonderful Aunt to my children. 

I am so blessed they (we) have her!

Ryan & Molly watching silly Megan 

with  Ryan's "gobbles" on! :-)

 All of the grandkids really lucked out on another great

Christmas  at Papa & Joyce's !
Thank you so much for all that you do!

(poor papa, can never ever keep his eyes open for the camera!) 

And this is our very last family picture in 2011!! 

Clean Teeth!

Molly LOVES when it is time for her to brush her teeth! 

Emma, well...not so much. 

Christmas with Granny

Here are some of the moments I was able to get pictures of during our time at my Mom's Christmas night. 

But I have to say, please excuse ALL of us! By this point we had gone non stop since early that morning, and we are definitely sportin' some wear & tear! ha!:)

Though presents are wonderful & time with family is great

we must remember

the true reason we celebrate! 

After the girls opened this present, they had a lollipop, so I took their dresses off.

Which means, the rest of the pictures you will see, they will be only half dressed. :-) 

This was another gift Emma opened that excited her so much she squealed & had to jump up & down! 

I love seeing her get so tickled! 

What was it?? 

Granny bought them each their own Tinkerbell  automatic 4 Wheeler!!!! 

How exciting!!! 

While visiting my Pawpaw back in Nov. I was able to (with the help of my pawpaw of course) 

 get my Grandma's ring that my mom has been wanting.  

We never told her I had it, so that she could have a nice Christmas surprise. 

Mom when she realized what was in the box. 

 As much as my kids love Mickey & Minnie, they didn't have the first Mickey Book! 

Until Now! 

Emma was pretty pumped about it too! 

Oh and our 1st princess book too! 

Molly bear loves her some reading!

My brother William opening his 1st gun from me, rick, & kirasten. 

Uncle Parker helping Molly with her presents. 

Or is she helping him, with his?? 

I can't remember! lol 

My silly child (Emma) decided she wanted to dance on top of the present instead of opening it. 

She so funny! 

Molly said, Forget that! I'll open it! :-)

It was a Dr. Baby Alive!

Molly wasted no time asking Granny to take it out the box for her. 

Ms. Emma, didn't your Momma teach you we keep our feet on the ground?!

:-)

 HA! I know this picture seems really random, but 

I had to post it because it was the 1st picture Emma ever took! 

She was looking through my camera saying "teese, teese" 

hehe :-)

Emma got sleepy, came & laid down, propped her feet up, 

grabbed her sippy cup, & watched tv! 

I swear she does such big girl things now! 

Where is my baby???? 

Molly giving my snuggles away to Aunt Kirasten! 

And Emma giving my snuggles away to daddy! 

Is there any left for Mommy????  

Oh but OF COURSE there is! 

Whew! I was a little worried! 

And this concludes our very long, yet 

very enjoyable Christmas day! 

 So very thankful for all the love & joy we got to share on this day! 

It was definitely one of my most memorable Christmases yet! 

Christmas with the Rabon's

Below are some captured moments of our Christmas afternoon 

spent with Rick's side of the family. 

Papa & Emma

Molly & Nannie

Time to open more presents! 

"What's inside the bag, Molly?"  

But Minnie of Course!! :-)

So proud of her new "MinMie" 

(as she calls it) :-)

Emma's turn to see what's inside!

Her little mouth dropped open when she realized it was 

the Rock n Roll Mickey!

She got so extremely excited that she just started laughing & jumping up & down!

I have never seen her get so full of excitement before!  

Definitely wish that moment was being recorded. 

She seriously could not help herself!!!

Oh, she was so excited to get that Mickey!

Thank you Nannie & Papa for such a fun gift! 

My Sweet Girls

Molly helping Papa open his presents

Aunt Ashley wanted a picture with Molly, but this is the best we could get. 

Lol! Molly, had no time for pictures, She had a new Minnie to play with!

Silly Emma playing with her Papa

Emma loves her some Nannie

Molly always seems to be Savannah's 

little shadow. 

 Emma getting kisses from her Great Memaw!

After listening to Memaw sing several songs,

 Emma & Molly decided it was their turn!

My future Rock Stars!! 

Love the Smile on my sweet Molly's face!

Sing it, Baby Girls!!

Silly Memaw!

So thankful for all of the thoughtful gifts we received from everyone.  

And most of all, thankful for the time we got to spend together!

Christmas time is always so MUCH fun!
