Christmas in Missouri

We spent Christmas with Grandma and Grandad this year.  I wish I would have taken a picture of the car.  We borrowed a Suburban from Kris' work because we had so much to take.  When I went to load it with our clothes and gifts to get on the road, I realized why Kris thought we needed the bigger vehicle--he had half of the back filled with tools so he could work on the farm.  Crazy!!  Anyway, that thing was completely full by the time I finished loading it.  I am not sure what is going to happen next year when we have a baby and all his stuff, 3 kids, and a dog too!!  I think it is about time for a new vehicle!!

Hannah loving on Grandma.


Lincoln brought his Snap Circuits with him and made a radio.  He loves that thing!


All the family got together on Christmas Eve for lunch and presents.  Grandma and Grandad gave this to the baby.  :-)









Mona gave all the guys these sack gifts and told them to open them at the same time.  They all pulled out nerf guns and had a huge gun fight right there in the living room.  There were lots of smiles.  Ha!





Looks like a big kid to me.  :-)


Layton loves his new snack cup from Uncle Kurt and Aunt Alexis.


Grandma got some good books to read.  She has always had an interest in Abraham Lincoln and, of course, she loves Jesus too, so these books were fitting.



Kurt and Alexis went with a fart theme this year for the boys.







Claire's gift card for Hannah.



Grandad got a back scratcher from Lincoln.


Someone handed me a present and when I opened it, I found this.  In case you don't know what this is, it is a bander for bulls.  (Think about it.)  Logan said he had a lot of time to think when he was driving from Searcy to Odessa.  He thought maybe Kris needed it!!!  Not sure why I was the one to open it!!!!










Kris inherited his dad's grandfather's shaving cup (so his great-grandfather).  Each of the brothers got one from someone in the family.  Roena had kept them over the years.  Kind of special.


All the brothers got jackets with writing on them.  Les' said "I'm the oldest, I make the rules."  Kurt's said "I'm the middle child, I'm the reason we have rules."  Kris' said "I'm the youngest, rules don't apply to me."  Ha!  Crazy that one day, we will have 3 boys that we may be able to say the same things about.


They are so silly.


Alex helping Lincoln work on something.  Our kids have the best older cousins.


Lots of Wahoo was played on this trip.


And cards.  Then, Logan introduced us to Settlers of Catan.  SUCH A FUN GAME!!!


Logan also serenaded us one night on his guitar.  




Layton always wants to go out and help Grandad and the guys.  He eats up riding on the tractors.





He also loves anything remote control!  Aunt Mona's four wheelers were a big hit.




What a great Christmas!  There were lots of memories made for sure.
