Christmas Break 2013 Mash-Up

We do a lot of SnapChat communicating. On this day, she told me she had a ton of studying to do for her finals. Then, I get this snap - I'm not sure that is what studying looks like. College life, i guess! 
another snap!
Maggie's flight landed at midnight - that put her home about 1:30. Tim had school the next day so he had to go to bed - she found this on her bed when she arrived

Christmas Eve Jammies!


A quick little session in order to get a good shot of all of them, so they could have a big wall canvas made for Nana! This was the photo they chose.

Maggie just had her hair cut into bangs! She isn't sure if she loves them yet



So glad to get to church and reunite with Carlie! 

Finally able to have a kitchen to bake in! One of the things she misses most about home

Yum! Purple Cow burgers! Maggie likes hers with a fried egg on top - gross

Our tradition is that Daddy reads the Night Before Christmas story and the kids take turns reading the Nativity story. 

Crepe paper Christmas balls from Nana may be their favorite part of the holidays! They are always filled with trinkets and useless junk - its more about the fun of unrolling them!

Im so happy that Steph and Matt decided to spend Christmas with us this year! Steph is my only niece on my side of the family - its just her and my kids. We didn't really multiply much! So, now that she is married - there are four cousins- four who are close like siblings. Its awesome!

Waking up Tim on Christmas morning!

Waiting on the stairs with hot chocolate - can't wait to see what Santa left!


a quick after Christmas trip to Gilmer to visit Tommy's side of the family!
Matt and I crafted!


A few of us in front of Tommy's parents house! Their house is literally famous for all of the music and lights that Gran has set up!
Kurt, Kyndal, Maggie, Steph, Matt, Valinda and Tommy
I love this photo - I wish everyone had been outside - its a mix of my side and tommys side!

Mag and Kyndal
Sprout was screaming one afternoon after Christmas - I came in to check on her and found this - she was caught in a jingle bell ornament!

Maggie, Jamie and Tim having a new year's dinner

Grandpa met us for a bit of Canton First Monday shopping! He was working in east texas and took a break to see Mags before driving back to San Antonio!

Her favorite dessert!


a little family fun at Shenanigans 

Don't mess with our team - we are hardcore beasts. except tommy - he may just be deranged!
