Christmas in McAlester

After opening presents at our house, we went to Mom's for lunch.  After Clark had a nap we opened presents.  Dad has been sick, so I'm glad he was feeling better & could enjoy us all being there.  

What does the Fox say?  Think we need to get Mom one of these shirts!

Wow...is Ryan really that tall?  I may be looking up to him before long!

Sassy pants.  Oh, and Avery, too. :)

Ryan was shaking presents one day, and discovered the guitar he's been wanting was one of them.  He's drove us crazy wanting that guitar!

Clark liked his new toy!

My Grandma Margie got each kid one of these.  They all loved them!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

We were going to open presents last night when we got home from Missouri, but Ryan wanted to wait until Christmas morning.  I'm glad he did.  He woke up and ran to our room to wake us up.  We were actually already awake, but it was so sweet to see him running into the room yelling "it's Christmas!"

Denny got mostly fishing stuff for Christmas.  Now all he needs is a boat!

I think Aaron's favorite gift from us was his Sonic Wii Game.

Ryan got an electric scooter.  Hope we don't regret this!

After opening presents Ryan pulled his tooth!

Christmas in Missouri

We always have fun during the holidays at Ma Ma's house!  As always, we wanted to stay longer, but were thankful for the time we had!

Aaron with his cousin, Dax.

Tia Dawn bought ornaments for the kids to paint.

Denny, David, Douglas, & Darrin.  This is the first Christmas in years that they've all been together!

Pin the tail on the Zebra!

Ma Ma and Aaron.

We played all kinds of games.  It was a wonderful trip!

We drove home on Christmas Eve, and missed the best part.  David & Kendra announced they're expecting baby #3 in June!  We're all excited!

Mark- our Elf on the Shelf

We've had a lot of fun with our Elf this year.  Here are just a few of the things he did this Christmas.

Aaron & Ryan camped out in the living room.  When they woke up they found Mark had slept in his sleeping bag, too!

Snowball fight!

Mark brought the boys an early present.  It was Despicable Me 2!

Pumping iron, getting ripped!

If there is a piece of paper lying around, Ryan will turn it into an airplane.  So, Mark decided to make some airplanes of his own!

Getting a clean shave before Christmas!

I'm not sure who has more fun with this.  Me or Ryan!

Ryan's Christmas Program at School

Here are a few pics from Ryan & Avery's Christmas programs tonight. Both schools did a great job!

Gingerbread Houses

Mark (our Elf on the Shelf) brought a gingerbread house kit for us.  Denny's turned out the best, but it was still fun!
