Christmas with The Nettles

It's been about a year since
we've seen The Nettles.
We were sure ready to see them
for Christmas!
 
Cody was most excited to
talk and trade football cards
with Uncle Jason and Landree.
 
 
 

KC loved on this little girl a lot!
 

Cody and Landree were almost
inseparable!

 


We painted these John Wayne
quotes for Granny.
 
She is in love with all things
John Wayne so we knew she
would love them.

 
Maw-Maw planned a little fun
parade around the living room for
all the grandkids when we
stopped by to see her.  They each
had to wear a hat and play some sort
of instrument.  My boys were totally
embarrassed!  It was so funny!
 
They had to do the parade before
she would give them their
prize.

 
 

 
games and hanging out


 

 
 

on the last day we headed to
the park because the weather
was SOOO nice.

Christmas Day

For the first time in all the years
of having kids...
 
Cody actually woke us up on
Christmas morning!!!
 

He was so excited!


and it just kept going
for him.

 

Rylee is too cool
for excitement!
 
But I know deep down inside
that he was.

 
 
Kade was excited too.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I think Cody loved
EVERY
SINGLE
THING
we got for him.
Like a lot!
 

The pups had their Christmas bones
and then all got new toys.
 
Heidi was in Heaven!

 

KC got me something special.
It's my most favorite seasoning!



Christmas morning snuggles!


and just like that another
Christmas is coming to an end.
 
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve!
 
We kicked it off by making
Christmas Cookies
 
 

KC and Ry were in charged
of the gingerbread cookies.
 
It kinda ended up being more
mess than cookies.  Big Surprise!
 
 
Can you spot the one
KC made?

 
We finally found a decent
frosting recipe!


We also made some Ranch Cheese Crackers
to pass out to the veterans for our
Random Acts of Kindness.


The boys couldn't stay
out of it.  It was so good!
 
 
I made that Christmas sign from
one of my favorite Christmas songs.
 
I love it so much!
 
 
Cody started feeling sick that morning
and had a little bit of fever.
It's hard to keep a kid down
on Christmas Eve.  He took a nap
and that made us get a late start on
our Random Acts.  Sooo, we will
save our acts for another time.
I sure don't want this kid sick
on Christmas!
 

The night before Christmas!
