Ok, as I promised... Five Christmases - a month later. Since I am so far behind, I thought about just skipping our Christmas entry, but just couldn't bring myself not to document it for future reading and nostalgia. So... here goes.
Christmas #1
Location: Mom & Dad's aka Gran & PawPaw's
Time: Christmas Eve Day
Gran & PawPaw with all the grandkids - Hayden, Anna, Avery, Ashlyn, Savanna, Elli Kate, and Shane.This year we drew names between the adults and then between the kiddos. And we decided to each take turns opening our gift so that everyone could see what we received instead of all tearing in at once and missing what everyone got. So we made a chair for an adult and one for a kiddo and for the order we started with the oldest adult and the youngest kid.
We began with Gran (who's 2 years older than PawPaw) and Shane (the baby).
And then down the line we went.... PawPaw and Elli Kate.
Aunt Pam and Savanna.
Uncle Randal and Ashlyn.
Uncle Todd and Avery.
Aunt Penni (holding up an inside joke sign, ha) and Anna.
And since Penni took longer to open up her gifts, then Hayden began ripping into his, which worked out well since there is 8 adults to 7 kiddos. So... that left me and Jody to open our gifts together (can I get an Ahhhhh)

Lots of cousins and gifts!!!
Granny in front of her tree - so beautiful!
Bre Bre and Shane playing with one of their gifts.
My silly boy.
Santa always over does it! We may have to have a talk with him in the future or maybe not.
Shane loved his train.
Savanna and Shane opening their gifts from us. Hannah Montana wig, headset and dance video for Savanna and a barn with animals for Shaner.
At school, they had a penguin Christmas shop and Savanna purchased gifts for us. She got me this neat Christmas tree candle. She was so proud and so was I. She's so sweet.
Savanna as Hannah Montana. It really changed her looks and she had a blast wearing it.
Getting ready to rip and tear into all the gifts.
DeAnna, Gramps, and Mike watching the kids.
Gramps and MiMi with the grandkids (don't ask me what Shane is doing inside his overalls - must be a guy thing)

Oh my, 5 Christmases! Y'all were busy. I love the pic of Shane in the Hannah wig... so funny. You'll have to pull that photo out when he graduates high school.
