 Christmas Eve

Acting out the Christmas story

Some holiday entertainment!

 They match!

 One happy grandpa!

Ready for the feast

 

 

Tyler read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas to Everyone - they all listened so intently!

 

Christmas morning

 

Yay!!! Exactly what they asked for from Santa!

Callie was in heaven when she opened her laptop.  She wouldn't put the thing down!
 

 

Go Colts!  He was so happy to get a jersey.  #17 is Austin Collie's number - he is LDS.

 

Christmas Day

We wondered where Grandma and Grandpa Allen had gone and a few minutes later we had a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus!!!

Callie was just happy with taking a candy cane from them - sitting on the laps, thank you very much!

Unless they all sat together, that is. :)

Best friends/cousins!

Macie and Morgan

 My other two cute and silly nieces, Hadyn and Briley!

We have a family joke about all the accidents Gary has from welding to knife accidents and everything in between.  My SIL, Beth, thought this sign was perfect for him!

Cozy cousins - Rex, Leon, Erika, Callie, Harrison

We had 6 kids ready to sleep on this air mattress.  It didn't take long for only about 3 to last on it.  The others moved somewhere else, but they all loved hanging out together on it before bed!

A couple days of holiday celebrating made these little boys tired!

We were only going to spend one night in Lafayette, but a huge snowstorm blew in, so we ended up staying a second night.  It was nice to hang out longer with everyone.
