Christmas Pics - Part One

Finally! A blog update after a long hiatus.  I won't offer excuses - just lots of pictures.  We had 5 family Christmas celebrations and enjoyed spending time with many members of our families.

Brenna's new wagon (good thing it has seat belts!)

On Christmas Eve, we went to my parents' for the traditional Taco Dinner with Max's secret recipe ice cream balls for dessert and a pinata for the kids

Jeremy severed the head from the body! Go Jeremy!

Ready to open gifts on Christmas afternoon

Jeremy was so good to help Ian open his gifts

 Boilermaker foam hat (Thanks Uncle John and Aunt Teena!)

 Potentially the best gift ever.......cowboy boots for Lucas!  He was beside himself!

 "Look Mom!  Do I look like a real cowboy now?"

 We got the boys a wii and they love it!
Tom's parents were also able to come and share a couple days with us.  However, I somehow managed to miss getting a picture of them.  We had a great time and so appreciate them coming!!!

 Grammy and Brenna

 Two Beautiful Girls

 Lucas found a box that fit him

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Pics - Part Two

On Dec. 29, we headed south toward Memphis but stopped in Nashville for the night and had yet another Christmas celebration with my brother and his kids and our parents.  So fun to be together as it's a rare thing these days.

Lucas and cousin Elizabeth

Ian LOVED Uncle Brian's new bongo drum!

As a typical kid, Brenna loves boxes as much or more than what comes in them.

Ian, opening his new air hockey game from Uncle Brian.

We headed to Memphis on Friday morning and got there in plenty of time for dinner and yes......more Christmas celebrations!

Olivia, presiding over the gift opening

Beautiful girl!

Not sure who enjoyed Olivia's new kitchen more - Lucas or Ian!

Drew and Jeremy

Feeding M & M's to Pops

It was so warm and sunny in Memphis, that we enjoyed going to the park more than once.

We took the Wii with us.....playing Mario Kart

The older kids took the younger boys to a movie as their Christmas gift and these parents/grandparents were as thrilled as the kids (possibly more!)  We got to stay home with the little girls and play!  :-)))

 Playing peek a boo

Not sure what they were looking at

LOVE THEM!!!!

 Drew - in Olivia's chair.  Pretty funny.

At the playground again

 4/5 Humphrey men

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year y'all from Memphis!
