This was at GG's house (Jeremy's grandma in Garland), we had opened presents but the kids wanted to go outside. They had so much fun playing in the leaves...who would have thought. Give a kid some leaves, much more fun than gifts I guess.
Cousins: Joel (8mos), Nathan (5yrs), Hannah (3yrs), Brock (3yrs), Caleb (1yr)
My sisters-in-law Carrie and Larissa...love them!
These 2 pics are cute, Christmas day, we played flag football with Jeremy's family...the WHOLE family played, ages 1-60, so quite a game. Caleb just wanted his ball and he ran around aimlessly, then the next picture, Grandpa is about to pass the ball to Hannah, cousin Nathan(age 5) is close behind, in one video we have, he actually tackled Hannah to the ground. She never saw it coming. We then explained to him that we have to be really gentle and just "touch softly". Hannah was a great sport, and no tears were shed.
Cousin Katie, with Hannah and Caleb, all in their Christmas jammies, about to go to the Christmas Eve service at church. They were so cute (and very tired).
Sweet boy, opening presents at my parents house. Caleb mainly like the bows and boxes.
Cool picture! The week of Christmas we went to my Aunt Mari's house, they live in the hill country in Austin, so they have deer all over the place. When we drove up, seriously I had to stop the car, because there were probably 20 deer in the yard/driveway. We got to feed them. Hannah was feeding this deer some bread, she did so good and wasn't really scared.
***Note (slightly graphic): About Hannah's wardrobe, lets say she is my carsick child. Yes, on the way there she threw-up twice. This has happened several times now, and she has "sickness etiquette" if it's proper to say that. She nicely tells me I'm gonna be sick, we pull over immediately, she even leans all the way over so she doesn't get her clothes dirty. Then the 2nd time in the car, she tried really hard to get it all in the towel, we didn't quite make it, so...when we got to Mari's she had to wear my cousins t-shirt who is in her 20's. Oh well, she didn't mind, the shirt was enormous. It didn't stop her from having fun though!***
The kids feeding the deer, well atleast Hannah is. Caleb tried once, gave the deer a bite of his hotdog bun, then he decided he'd rather eat it himself. I guess he likes really old, stale bread. People don't really get animal germs do they???
Ok Jeremy and I at our youth Christmas party...silly hats, but they insisted on a picture.
Last but not least, my sweet little kiddos in their matching Christmas jammies (thanks me-maw). So cute. I just love them to pieces. (especially this little hair flip Caleb is sporting, he's since had a much needed haircut..such a big boy)

So cute and so fun. Glad you could work it out to be us on Christmas Eve.
oops - be WITH us, not be us !
Looks like ya'll had a fun Christmas with lots of family. What great memories! Loved the pictures! I am a little surprised Hannah got that close to the deer. I'm remembering how terrified she was of my cats!
Great pics! Thx for sharing! Fun holidays! Big families w/ lots of cousins make for fun holiday memories. I had 15 first cousins on Mama B's side and it made for some fun times when we could all gather in Mississippi. And your dad.....well I dont need to tell you about the "Clopton clan"
Love ya'll, mom/me-maw
