Last Christmas Post Just in Time for Valentine's Day

We finshed our Memphis Christmas celebration with food and presents with Grandpa, Mimi, Uncle Todd, Aunt Leanna, Aunt Regina and Hannah. As you can tell from the pictures, Hayden is still going through Christmas detox. She doesn't understand why she doesn't still get gifts every day.

Christmas in Memphis - Part One

Sorry for so many posts at one time. Maybe, I have learned my lesson. We celebrated Christmas in Memphis with the Duffs and the Bistolfis. We went to visit Jason's grandmother and his cousins while we were in town.

Mary and Mamaw Bistolfi, Jason's maternal grandmother:

Mary got to play with Jason's cousin Cathy. She was so fascinated with her that she couldn't quit laughing.

The Duffs actually delayed their Christmas celebration until we and Jason's cousin's family could get to town. We went to his Aunt Darlene and Uncle John's house and got to see Jason's grandparents and cousins. We had a great time, as you can see from all of the pictures.

Check out Mary's bib that her Mimi and Grandpa gave her.

Jason got Mary to laughing so hard, she could hardly breathe.

Hayden and her cousin, Hannah:

Santa comes to Town

Santa came to the house and left lots of goodies for the girls. Hayden really got into it this year and Mary was just along for the ride, literally.

Hayden got a new bicycle, which she has been riding around the house due to the cold weather.

Okay, so Santa might have gotten a little out of hand this year. We are going to need to have a talk with him next year.

Mary actually looks a bit frightened by the entire proceedings. She cracks me up.

Mary and Gran-Gran:

Christmas Eve at Gran-Gran's

Our Christmas festivities always begin at my grandmother's house, Gran-Gran to all who meet her. Her are a few pictures from the night. As you can tell, it has gotten much more difficult to take pictures now that we are a family of four, six if you count the dogs.

This was when Mary really started getting her personality. She giggles quite a bit. I think that she gets that from Jason. Ha!!

Hayden and my mom, Granny:

Hayden's Christmas Party

Sorry that it has taken so long to post Christmas pictures, but hope you enjoy!! We'll start with Hayden's school Christmas party. The first picture is of Hayden's teacher, Ms. Pace.

Talented Aunt Leanna

I just wanted to show everyone the adorable ornaments that Jason's sister-in-law, Leanna made for the girls. She is so talented and makes all kinds of wonderful gifts for Hayden and Mary. She also made Jason and I an ornament, but I forgot to take a picture of it. Here are pictures of the girls' ornaments.

Leanna also made a beautiful wreath when Mary was born.

I wish that I had an ounce of her talent.

My Apologies

I am sorry, but I promise that a new blog post is coming soon. It has been quite hectic over the last few weeks.
