We had a total of six family Christmas parties. It is always an insane time at Christmas with the party schedules and family gatherings, and it can be stressful, but I love it at the same time. Because after all, it is Christmas, and Christmas just isn't Christmas without family.
He did enjoy playing with Mommy's new Christmas ornaments though. He loved Santa ornaments or figures this year, just not the real deal Santa figure. He would say, "San Claus and deer." Then, "Horns." Because the deer has horns. So cute! He had San Claus riding the deer.
Kaden got LOTS of great winter clothes from Lance's family. They are so nice, and we needed them.
Our next Christmas party was the next evening, Thursday night, at my Mom & Step Dad's house.
Kaden got excited about all these gifts at Nana's house. And, he was a completely different kid than the night before. He opened all his gifts at Nana's and loved every second of it! He wanted MORE! Don't worry, these gifts are not all for Kaden!
Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without this lady, my Aunt Kara, she and her fmaily have celebrated our family Christmas with us for as long as I can remember. This is Kara and Mom.
Kaden got to open an early gift before dinner because he's the baby and he needed a toy!
This is my oldest brother, Jamie, my sister-in-law Pam, and their two children, Emily and Jacob.
Emily was born the year I graduated high school, so imagine how old I feel with her this grown up!
This is my older brother Lenny, my sister-in-law Andrea, and their two sons, Dustin and Dakota.
This is Lance, myself, and Kaden.
Note: I no longer wear glasses!!! YAY!!!
This is Nana (my Mom) and Papa Mark.
Three generations. My Granny, My Mom, and myself. Do you see any resemblances?
I just love this next picture. This is the first picture we have of my Granny with all of my Mom's grandkids. So this is my Granny with her great grandkids.
Kaden and his Great Maternal Grandmother, Granny. Can you imagine where we get the red hair from?
Kaden tearing into some gifts!
This is Kaden's first George Strait western shirt, or western shirt at all for that matter and cinch jeans. I thought he looked so handsome in that blue!
Kaden with his Uncle Jamie eating cheetos. He thinks his uncles are pretty great. It is so cute to hear him say "Uncle Lenny, Uncle Jamie, and Aunt Pam!" He says these three names at least ten times daily. He loves them for sure.
Emily and Kaleigh being silly!
Nana Claus...
Well, I've only gotten through two Christmas party of the six and I'm exhausted so part three will be coming later.
We had a great Christmas! More to come...
