On Saturday, December 15
th, we went over to my Dad's house for Christmas with the
Sizemore side of the family. Since most of us were going to Disney for Christmas, but Granny and Jennifer would not be there and Marna's group would not be there on Christmas, we decided to get together before Christmas. When we arrived, we were
greeted by Daddy and headed inside. After a week of record setting heat (on Wednesday it hit 78 for the high), it was a nice crisp day and suddenly seemed like Christmas time. When we got inside, we say Granny and Jennifer. John and Emily went out to play after a little bit, while Ansley, Bailey, and I went into the kitchen to help. Actually Ansley
and Bailey played on the floor with bowls and cups, but they seemed to have a big time =) Slowly everyone started to filter in. All the kids played, including Mason showing Emily his pogo stick. Once it was getting closer to lunch time and in order to lets the kids not be so
anxious for presents, we let everyone open one thing prior to lunch. Bailey opened her shape sorter from Lilly, Ansley opened her puzzle from Christian, and Emily opened her play dough set from Blake. After opening one present each, it was time for lunch. We had
hot dogs, baked beans, and chips. Ansley, Bailey, and I sat in the kitchen, while John and
Emily ate in the dining room. Since they
should not eat
hot dogs, the little ones enjoyed the carrots, corn, and
cheez-its I brought for them. In pretty
typical fashion, Bailey shoveled food in her mouth and spread it everywhere. Ansley used her thumb and
for finger to
daintily pick her food up on piece at a time. In addition to the items they fed themselves, I gave them so
me baked beans. Ansley did not care for them, but Bailey thought they were great. Mid way
through the girls and
myself eating, we were joined in the kitchen by Katrina, Christian, and Blake. We all enjoyed visiting and the kids played. As soon as Bailey was done eating, she got down and crawled around. Her and Blake had a great time playing with the shape sorter. Ansley was taking her time eating. Soon it was time to all head in the living room to open presents. Once the gifts were sorted, we all started opening. As seem in the pictures, Ansley was very excited about one box of ours and crawled on top of it. The girls and us got various items for the trip from Jennifer including
walkie talkies, bags with the girls names on it, and snack boxes with lots of treats. Granny had given the girls a variety of toys that they quickly got into =) The final Christmas present to all the kids were tickets to Disney from Daddy and Katrina. After all the kids had opened their gifts, Katrina opened her robe from us kids and Daddy opened his golf bag. Everyone was very excited about the upcoming trip. It was getting late for all the little ones, so John packed up while Ansley, Bailey, and I visited with Granny.
