CHRISTmas with Family

It is the most W-O-N-D-E-R-F-U-L time of the year......and according to Gray's latest story (which they write themselves first, then it's corrected , THEN they re-type correctly and illustrate) it is as follows:



As usual we started off celebrating the birth of our savior in Anniston and Talladega...oh how I LOVE Christmas with all the JACKSONS....and at Nana and Pop's the fun NEVER ends.....








So glad to finally meet our newest cousin Emelia, Gayle and Michael's little girl, they live in California ....so glad to see them!


Henry was a great traveler, and did lots of this while we all did Christmas.....


We headed back to Decatur for FBC Christmas Eve Service and had both Gene Gene, Nana, Mimi and Gandy to our house for dinner afterwards..

Then after a pretty good nights sleep (latest they have slept so far...7:45)..the excitement begins...This year not only was it the most thrilling, but really serious too....they even reminded me to get a picture of the "before they see if he came,bed-head" picture....love this!


And he DID come .....




We had to pause during the excitement and look out our front window to THE most exciting part of our morning....


Girls quickly wanted to take a brake bundle up and PLAY....



Later that afternoon my sisters and families arrived at Mimi and Gandy's for a full rest of the day and NIGHT's fun with lots of sweet cousins, wonderful food, and great family time ......




We let the kids go one at a time with their presents which is quiet the entertainment 6 8 and under..soon to be 8 under 8...and when it was MB's turn Mimi insisted she run to her closet, we followed to get the reaction....


and guess who it was?? Mimi knows MB has a serious case of BIEBER FEVER so to say the least this was THE hit!




Carter and John David really loved Henry and were very sweet with him....so we paused for a little photo shoot....



We spent our last part of Christmas in Moulton at Nana's which was pretty special...all 12 great-grands got to come!
