Christmas highlights

We enjoyed a couple weeks off from school and work to be together.  We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at our house and then went to Jackson to spend the rest of Christmas day and the following week with the Gladneys.  We were able to have dinner and open presents with all the Gladneys.  It was really special.  

Joshua and Anna Ruth had quality play time with the cousins and loved being spoiled by Coach and Nana.  Here are a few photos from the holiday...

Funny puzzle from Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Michele

"What? Are you kidding me? A remote controlled helicopter?"

"I think I like you Mona, but I'm not sure."

"These gingerbread cookies are the greatest thing ever!"

some serious Uno games were played.  Lottie was on Joshua's team for a few hands.

The snaggle toothed cousins

Nana let Anna Ruth play on her ipad.  Now Anna Ruth wants to be with Nana all the time.

who didn't like all the noise from the horns.

sparklers for the new year

Joshua's art teacher had them write down their New Year's resolutions and decorate a 2015 picture.  He said, "In 2015 I will clean my room."
Here is hoping that means he will keep his room clean and not clean it once in the year!
Happy New Year!
