CHRISTMAS EVE
After dinner with the Crockett's we went out to my dad's parents house on Colbert Heights. All of the family was there. We had tasty eats and lots of presents.
MawMaw's Tree
Luke (cousin) with the Sugar Bowl shirt we gave him.
Mawmaw and Pawpaw WillinghamThis was their 55 wedding anniversary! They eloped on Christmas Eve.
Brad and Katie Willingham. (cousin and wife)
Pawpaw made his boys cowboys for Christmas. He carves all of this and paints it by hand. They even have guns in their holsters.
Andrea tries to throw her new hat in the air like Mary Tyler Moore.
Uncle Dennis shows her how it's really done.
David, Luke and Jacob (all cousins) drink from holiday goblets.
AFTER we leave my grandparents, we headed home and opened our Christmas PJs. A tradition my parents do. Andrea and I got Bama alumni shirts and sleep pants and Matt got AU pants.
Matt enjoys the Bama girls.
Steve is trying to "help" Andrea wrap a last minute gift.
Matt is playing my Grandpa's guitar.
Grandma and Grandpa open their presents.
Instead of presents between all the grandkids this year, we decided to do a fun project. This year was painting canvases.
Matt helps me map out my painting of an apple. It turned out very nicely.
Andrea and Jordan showcase their combined art piece. A thing of beauty is a joy forever...and THIS is certainly a joy forever. They painted over what they had made at least 3 times and came up with this.

After presents and breakfast with the Crockett's (I'll post pictures from that later), we head over to my Mother's parents house for lunch and fun.

Elizabeth did a cool "Peace on Earth" thing that had us all singing the version of the Little Drummer Boy by Bing Crosby and David Bowie.

Steve and Wil were very good this year and got a bone to chew on.
Andrea is counting Matt's gifts to be sure he didn't get more than she did.
Andrea gave me the hat, movie and scarf.
Matt was SUPER proud of his PacMan belt from Andrea.
My mom made Steve and Wil dolls for me and Matt. The resemblance is uncanny!

WE had a WONDERFUL Christmas this year. Not that every year isn't wonderful, but it was so nice to be home and relaxing with all of our families. We are so blessed to be able to share the holidays with so many people.
