What a wonderful Christmas we had this year. We made the big drive up to Virginia to visit Mimi, Papaw and Uncle Will. This was actually our second Christmas as we let the kids open their presents from Gramma and Grandpa before we left. They were so generous and the kids loved their gifts. So, for round number 2 we descended upon Onion Patch Dr. It is always great to go "home" for Christmas.
I sent this pic to my mom on our way up. I wanted to let her know what craziness to expect. They are crazy.
We began making food for Christmas. Grady helped make deviled eggs.
Mimi made a pie. Ha. As she finished this masterpiece, she said, "I bet you are going to take a picture of this and put it on your blog". So here you go, Mom. (It actually tasted really good)
I attempted to make Cinnamon Rolls for Christmas morning.
On Christmas Day, Josh, Uncle Will and Grady went bird watching. I doubt many birds were spotted due to Grady's incessant talking.
Mimi was posted in her usual position.
Uncle Will and Caesar manned the couch
Myles loved his gangster costume. Notice the "fart guns" in the background. I am going to strangle Mimi and then send them to her in pieces. Or...lock her in a room with the boys and the guns. Talk about annoying. BUT they love them so I won't torture my dear mother.
This is what Myles looked like for most of the vacation. Poor guy came down with strep throat. He was miserable.
Baby girl got a new rocking horse. She was in heaven.
One of Grady's presents was a union suit from Gramma and Grandpa.
Baby loves her Papaw. Here she is begging food from him.
My poor Dad is probably still recovering from all the action. Their retired life is usually much quieter.

This is my favorite picture of all. Mimi was snuggling with the baby and didn't realize that she has a very bad habit of biting. She took a nip out of Mimi's cheek as I snapped this pic. LOVE IT
