On Saturday (the 26th), we left Tifton right after lunch and headed to Americus to spend a few days with the McNeill clan at Reesie and Papa's. Everyone was there together on Saturday and Sunday, and we had so much fun! It's not often that we all gather at Mom and Dad's house at the same time anymore. As crazy and chaotic as it can get, I just love when it happens that we can all be together.
On Saturday evening, we had our family Christmas. This included our huge gift exchange and grilled steaks for dinner.....yummy!
Here is Chloe showing off her new apron and "splat mat" for her easel that Gran gave her.
Aunt Meg and Uncle Chuck hooked the girls up with sleeping bags.....they were a HUGE hit! Chloe ended up sleeping in that sleeping bag for the next 7 nights!
Chloe got a tricycle from Reesie and Papa.....we are waiting on the weather to get a little warmer and then we're going to put some miles on that thing!
She also got a camera from Reesie and Papa....a real, working digital camera for kids. She loved it! We realized on Monday afternoon that there were already about 180 pictures on the camera that she had taken!!!
I'm pretty sure that the picture below has just become my favorite of the holiday season......I have no idea what was transpiring in that moment. However, if I did, I'm not sure the picture would need an explanation!
Claire modeling her new smocked Bulldawg dress from Jess and Bee.
Chloe and Aunt Meg snuggled up for a moment.
Lots of precious memories were scripted in those few days as my children got to spend time with their grandparents, aunts, and uncles. These are the days that we'll remember!
