Merry and Bright: Christmas 2013

It's time for the most wonderful birthday celebration of all!  

 

Kerry, Jayden and Kyler headed south a little early - they had an early Christmas present, guided duck hunt in Stuttgart to get to!  

 Looks like some serious hunting to me! The boys were sporting left over face paint all week!

Evan and I loaded up the 4 legged Pitts (which is quite the chore these days . .  iguana, leopard gecko, cat and dog!), gifts, and all the supplies needed for a 4 night Pitts departure. We headed south on Monday to meet up with the hunters in Sheridan.  Oh what fun it is . .  to celebrate with all the Pitts crews!  Good eating and giving!  

 Cousins . . .

We spent the night, did some four-wheelin' and dirt biking, loaded back up and headed to Arkadelphia on Tuesday.  Tuesday night we celebrated with Christmas Eve dinner . . .

 Annual Christmas pj opening . .  and family pic, and a few photo bombs . . 

Some pictures with our four-leggers . . .

 Story time with CiCi . . .

 The boys club during story time . . .

Preps for Santa . . .

 

 Time to Snooze and let Santa work his magic!  Our little sneaks set their alarm for 1:00, tiptoed downstairs and were caught mid sneak checking out the goods! 

 Santa delivered! The main wishes were granted Xbox One for Kyler, Hedgehog for Evan and Surface Pro 2 for Jayden!

 More giving and receiving . . 

Time once again to load up (lots more to load today!! -plus a new 4 legger!) say goodbyes and head on to our next stop!  Kerry and Kyler swung by East End to pick up Meme and bring her back to Carlisle to celebrate with our crew!  The boys did a great job of spreading out ALL their new stuff and resuming Christmas tornado status!  We played, spent the night, made our final load up of the Christmas trip and where Home bound on Thursday!  Wheh! Makes me tired just remembering it! Once home we AGAIN resumed Christmas tornado status!  

We are so thankful for time spent with each and every family member this season!  Papaw, Ninny, Uncle G, Aunt G, Morgan, Madison, Mim, Uncle Mike, Pop, CiCi, Auntie M, Uncle A and Avery!  

 Merry Christmas to ALL!
