The Fagan Christmas was held at Scott's house. Everybody but Elijah was able to be there. I only took one picture somehow. All of the kids played together so nicely and the adults had a great time catching up with each other too. Hate I didn't get a group picture. There's always next year!
Christmas Eve Eve was at Nana and Papa Joe's house!
It's always a party when we're all together.
Eric's family
Scott's family
Our family
The whole family, in their natural state of mind.
Sometimes we can all act right! 😉
Watching the kids open their presents is the best!
Sleds for the next time it snows!
My cookie sheets are getting worn down...
KK got Anders a soap making kit!
There's not a present more suited for this kid!
Lige didn't know what to think about all this.
He did love his bear.
And the animal lover got her own inside kitty!
A Mickey Mouse notepad from Disney is all it took. 😍
I got a new fancy mixing bowl!
(Brad got some woodworking tools. Didn't get a picture with them.)
Making soap!
Thankful for this little momma. She does not like it when his nose runs.
They got Muscadine juice from the Applebarn in Gatlinburg!
You never know what you're going to see when you walk around the corner in this house.
Back to himself again. 🙌🏼
I like seeing that big smile!
Caught Daddy petting the "inside kitty".
(He's allergic to cats, but this one is allowed in the house.)
The Crow side Tacky Christmas was held at Mimi and Pops' shop.
Some of the tackiness. Nathan had to go to work, Big Bobby put his Present costume on later.
They won the Candy Cane Hunt!
Cora got the cutest kitchen accessories from Aunt Marsha and Big Bobby.
The whole gang!
We got home in just enough time to spread out the reindeer food and watch our videos to see if the kids were on the nice list or not...
Cora had to "listen and obey what Mommy and Daddy told her to do."
Nice List ✅
Anders had to "eat everything that was on his plate."
Nice List ✅
(It's a real struggle to get him to eat. Finally he ate for like a week!)
Jaden had to "be nice to his brothers and sister."
Nice List ✅
(I think he scooted in by the skin of his teeth...)
The children were nestled all snug in their beds.
Christmas morning
Let the chaos begin!
Santa left a note! He said they could keep the bells that fell off of a reindeer last year!
Mornin Y'all
What she's been wanting for a year. A pink guitar!
Mommy, I mean Cora, got a Baby Alive!
Jaden got a Green Machine!
(Anders loved it.)
Anders got a keyboard!
(Elijah loved it.)
He loves his Legos.
Elijah didn't get anything from Santa this year.
What could he possibly want?!
It's Christmas Day!
Breakfast was made by Asheley. These were some goooood cinnamon rolls!
Family picture time.
I love looking back at our Christmas morning pictures through the years.
Christmas night, we went to MeMaw and D-Daddy's house for the Faucett Christmas.
Annabelle is a couple of months younger than Elijah. We were trying to get her to get him to walk. Didn't happen though.
The whole group except Drew (who was in Indiana) and Pops (who had the flu).
Merry Christmas to Daddy!
We left our house at 8:00 p.m. and headed to the beach!
We made it at exactly 12:30. No stops! 🙌🏼
Traveling at night from now on!
Brad's favorite thing to do at the beach, besides not go down to the beach, is grocery shopping!
He and Cora left at 8:00 to get the necessities.
Our view. ❤️
Daddy made breakfast.
Sweet brother time.
Mousetrap
I think we could actually live in a Condo sized house. The kids are so close here, where there's not so many distractions.
Well, maybe not...
We met Nana and Papa Joe at Bahama Bob's for lunch.
We tried the beach. It was FREEZING!
Of course the kids didn't care.
But Mommy and Daddy were frozen!
We look forward to this trip every year.
We usually have a project to complete while we're here. (And by we, I mean Brad.)
He put in a new faucet and installed 2 TVs.)
Wahlburgers! One day... We'll meet one of them.
Donnie's favorite is also MY favorite!
The kids fell asleep on the way home from the outlets, so I stayed in the car with them for about an hour until they woke up.
Mommy made breakfast.
Whatever works, to get around...
Tent building time
Mommy needs to cut back on the sodium, apparently.
(Cora traced my hand.)
This guy wouldn't nap, so he became my workout.
Seriously, the most fun toy ever!
Nana and Pap Joe came over for Pizza and fun.
Friday it was finally over 40 degrees, so we went to the beach!
Of course I was bundled up, but they were "hot".
Last time for Bahama Bob's this year.
They were so excited to have a table by themselves.
We had to do Christmas with the Crows On New Years Day because Pops had the flu earlier.
We didn't mind though. Dragging out Christmas is never a bad thing!
Jaden finished this Lego set before lunch!
We've had a fabulous Christmas season.
Blessed.
