Christmas Eve Eve & Eve 2011

We left Waco for Troy's grandparents
on Christmas Eve Eve afternoon:)
Since we were ready & while daddy loaded
the car, mommy took advantage of
some time to take Christmas pictures! :)
Walker ~ Nine Years Old
Hadlee ~ Five Years Old
Hudson ~ Almost Two Years Old
...and the sweetest little
addition to our Christmas!
On the drive to Santa Anna ;)))
 
Hanging out at Grandma and PaPa Robinett's.
Unfortunately Walker AND Hudson
weren't feeling 100%.  By the time
we got there, both had fever.  :(

That night we went to Aunt Jean
and Uncle Ray's beautiful home
to see Santa!  I love this tradition!!!

 Thank you to Uncle James for snapping
these pics with his camera :)
 Haddie Girl was ALL about Santa :)

...and a Barbie airplane, and an easel,
and a flat screen tv, and a......
Hudson was only a little hesitant this time...
Bless this handsome guy's heart...
he just wasn't feeling good. 
Yet, good enough to still talk to Santa though;)
Aunt Jean and Uncle Ray's
decorations are the BEST!
My kids love it there!!!


I love the wonder in Hudson's face...
We love Aunt Jean & Uncle Ray,
I mean Santa & Mrs. Claus!
Christmas Eve day, we had the most
wonderful lunch at Aunt Cindy's
(she makes THE best mexican food EVER!)...
ANd we just love hanging out
at Uncle James & "Shampoo's" house!
By this time, poor Huds was feeling terrible :(
Dancing with Daddy...
Then it was time for presents!!!
Aunt Poo spoils my kiddos!
A stick horse for Huds from
PaPa & Nanny!!!  :)
The magic 8 ball from Jessica
and Luke was a BIG hit with Walkman!
Just have to say it...
BEST grandparents in the WORLD!
Sweet little guy just felt so bad...
We love Great Grandma Pierce!!!
And the SHINING STAR of the family.......
Sweet, happy, precious LUKE!  :)))
I am so thankful that my children have
AND know AND love their
grandparents and GREAT grandparents.
SUCH a blessing!!!
Cute Cuzin' Luvin'!
The HOSTS with the MOSTS!
We love our beautiful nieces
and their precious little families dearly!!!
Then it was BACK to Waco
for Christmas EVE evening;)
Trying to perk up our little
Christmas angel :)
Unfortunately Troy's sweet mom was
still in the hospital from her back
surgery...in fact, she still can't walk today.
(But getting more feeling...thank you, Lord!).
SO that evening we took pizza and gifts
to see Mamaw at Hillcrest!!!!!!!
God bless her heart!  She's been through
SO much here lately.  We love
Mamaw like CRaZY!!!
Gifts from Mamaw...
It's nothing for my kids to be in a
hospital :( ...don't really know if that's
a good thing or a bad thing?!?
Hopefully they will ALWAYS
have a heart for those that are sick. 
Legos for ALL!  :)
Then it was back home and we let
the kids each pick one present
from under the tree to open ....
Finally, it was all kids to bed (in our bed...
a Christmas tradition) but not without
a sweet prayer thanking God for Jesus
and the precious birth of Jesus;
and thanks for ALLLLLL
of our many, many blessings; and
of course healing prayers for
Travis and Mamaw. 
"When they saw the star,
they were overjoyed beyond measure...
and falling to their knees,
they worshipped Him."
Matthew 2:10-22
