Christmas Activities!

We have had a blast in the week leading up to Christmas hanging around the house, packing up our 15 trunks, and spending time with family!

Because we just LOVE to drive so much, we decided to get in the car after supper one night and drive to Comanche, Texas in our pjs to see the light show!

My boys on the Polar Express!

Such a neat show set to music!

On Wednesday evening, we headed over to Shade & Caity's for supper! Cason and AJ having fun with Blu!

Me, Caity, & Bmaw!

Love it when Blu is with his brothers!

On Friday, we spent some time out on the land!

On Saturday, Paw and Cambree went deer hunting! Paw needs a partner to nudge him when they see a deer and he's napping!

Got one! It took us a little bit to track it, but it was so exciting!

Dragging him home!

Yum!

On Sunday, we went to Rocky Creek Baptist Church to worship - the church my Grandma went to when she was a little girl in the 1940s!

Then, we went to the graveyard to see the graves of my great and great-great grandparents!

That afternoon, we played tons of family games, starting with Bananagrams!

And Pictionary! (Boys won :(

And Settlers... (Blu wins...always...)

That evening, we got dressed up and went to the Cowboy Church for the Christmas Eve Candlelight Service with Paw & Bmaw!

Caedmon

Cambree

Cason

Blu and his clone

We filled a pew!

Afterwards, we came home and had snacks, a fire, played a Christmas game, and watched classic Christmas cartoons from the 1930s and 1940s!

Christmas morning came early....5:17am, but the kids decided to let us sleep until 6am! Thanks, ya'll.

It was fun seeing the kids so excited for us to open the presents they got us!

Cason spent most of his money on his Mama... :)

Look at my beautiful necklace!

Here is our final stash! Blu got a new phone cover, screen protector, Catan expansion game, wallet, a mechanical card shuffler, back scratcher, travel pillow, and TONS of American candy!

Darbi got a bath set, Beyonce perfume, necklace, travel pillow, Kindle fire, Bible, travel book, and some chocolate!

Caedmon got a new iPad, case, travel pillow, watch, headphones, oil pastels, etc.

Cambree got a new iPad, case, brush/mirror, earrings, bracelet, gum, etc.

Cason got a new iPad, case, harmonica, TMNT balloon, Harry Potter figurines, a watch, etc.

We had Christmas lunch at Caity's parents' lake house, which was beautiful and delicious, and had a great afternoon visiting! We snuck in a game of Settlers with Paw, Bmaw, and Shade, enjoyed a snack supper, and had an overall wonderful day celebrating Christ's birth! We leave for Zambia in 3 days!
