***BEWARE!!! This post is EXTREMELY picture heavy!
We kicked off our Christmas celebration at Steve and Emily's house last night (Thursday). Since they will be traveling to Macon to see E.M.'s family, they invited us over to have dinner at their house and celebrate the holiday a little early.
The entire gang was there and there was not any "down time" during our visit--Carter and Callen kept things pretty stirred up! My favorite thing was that Callen and Carter wanted to see every picture I took. Every time the flash went off, Callen said, "See!" and came running over to see the picture I had just taken with Carter following not far behind.
Uncle Ken sporting Callen's boa
Carter helping Aunt Em open her birthday present
Callen decided that she REALLY liked celery
Carter and Callen telling Bamma who is in the picture from Aunt Em & Uncle Steve's wedding
Callen decided that she REALLY liked Aunt Em's present
Aren't they all just beautiful?
(Please notice what Callen is doing)
Bamma, in her festive finery, reacting to Callen almost hitting her head on the coffee table
They play together so well
Callen and Bamma saying, "No, no, no!"
Carter singing "Rudolph"
Singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider"
Aunt Em and Big Pat watching the little ones
Uncle Steve and Uncle Ken discussing the finer points of cooking pork and the songs from "A Year Without A Santa Claus"
(Uncle Steve has no memory of watching "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," but can sing the "Heat-miser" song from "A Year Without A Santa Claus")
Callen and Aunt Em
Callen telling Daddy that she doesn't know where her beads are
Two little angels!
A dessert of cookies and whipped cream was a BIG hit!
Thanks, Aunt Em! This sure is tasty!
After dinner at the Lovoy's, Bamma and Big Pat got to keep the kiddos, so "Santa's elves" could get some work done at the North Pole. I haven't heard how the sleep over went, yet, but I can't wait to hear what events occurred!
Merry Christmas, y'all!
