Christmas 2010 w/ Family

We have a big family...lots of stops to make every year!
Our first Stop was with Matt's mom...aka Grandpa & Grandma Z.

Grandma & Grandpa Z. love playing games with the kids. I caught this moment

while they were playing Uno...not just an ordinary game of Uno...some fun

 spinner thing that lights up, they bought to play with the kids. 

They were all sitting on the bedlaughing & playing...what a gift for our kids, 

time spent with them. My Grandma Dickey was like this..she played with us

 & made us laugh. That's what kids remember...not the gifts they opened under the tree. 

The adults got quite a surprise from her also...a decision she made many years

ago is now blessing our family in a huge way...more about that at another time.

Next we headed to Matt's dad's house...aka Grandma & Grandpa Thomason.

They both live in Stillwater so it's convenient for us to see them both. 

The girls always have so much fun together...they are goobers!!

Same with the boys...both grandparents have Wii & all kinds

of games to play so it's a blast for them to hang out. 

Last stop is my parents...Nana & Papa's house with my sister

& her family. My mom always works so hard to make our dinners

yummy & you never walk away from her house on an empty stomach!

This year my dad had a new gadget for the turkey...it was infrared cooked.

Crazy huh? Instead of being fried. 

My kids love their cousins. They always have so much fun together

on both sides. We are so blessed to have so much family. I enjoy our 

time together & love watching my kids interact with extended family.

I know we are so fortunate to live close to our families. I praise God 

for that all the time. 

Just a glimpse into our Christmas. Over & done with way to fast!!

Enjoying a calm week & putting our house back together & being

LAZY!! Love it!
