Christmas with all of us under one roof has become a wonderful, energetic experience. The day started off with Nannie fixing breakfast. We had fun spending the morning just enjoying the kids and visiting. Adam and Hunter headed up to Ashland City to visit with Frances Ann's family. Mackenzie and I stayed behind due to her needing a nap and Nnanie needing help in the kitchen.
Donnie, Martha, and Briley arrived around 11. We were planning on eating around 2. Mackenzie took an early nap, but it worked perfectly. Sara, Chad, and the kids arrived around 2. We all gathered around he dinning room table. With 3 sisters, their husbands, 2 kids, 3 babies, Papa And Nannie, dinner actually went pretty well. The food was delicious. After we finished cleaning up, we passed out gifts. Hunter had several goodies. One of the highlighted gifts was a cardboard playhouse that he can decorate himself. Mackenzie got some really cute clothes and an original Cabbage Patch Kids. Nannie had kept this doll in its original box. I think I had more fun playing with her than Mackenzie did, but with time she will begin to have the same experiences I did with my Cabbage Patch Kids. We ended the day with just sitting around enjoying each others company. What a great day.

Wonder what this is???? (It was a cardboard house that can be
painted, colored, stickered, and everything else.) |

| A busy room, but a fun room. |

| Nannie hugs are pretty good :) |

I went to grab a couple of Sara's cake balls.
I laid them down and came back to find Mackenzie sneaking one.
It was sooo cute to watch her to try to put the whole thing in her mouth. |
