Place: Grandaddy & Grammy Jen's house
Mission: Draw the last number to steal the best white elephant gift!
After a busy week of dealing with illness, cleaning, and working (just Mommy fortunately!), we were more than ready for Christmas #2. We stayed up late (again!) Thursday night getting everything ready and then packed the car and headed out Friday morning.
Ian was insistent on wearing his boots for the whole 3.5 hour drive! Of course, he wanted to "see" when I took a picture. :-)
Grammy Jen had been a busy elf! The fireplace looked beautiful!
Pretty Christmas tree with all the presents!
More presents.
Laura, Rebecca, and Aunt Erin chilling.
Little cousins hanging out.
Ian had a blast with Uncle Tray and his hat.

Pretty soon after we arrived, Ian and Ace wanted to head outside. Ace filled the back of the trike with a bunch of leaves and took them for a ride.
Ace and Uncle James walking up the big hill.
Such a pretty day!
Ace's Daddy ran up behind James and Ace and hid. His orange sweatshirt blended perfectly into the background.
Back inside, we settled down with phone games.
In the meantime, Ian flirted with Grant (Great-Aunt) Julie to score some cheese!
Aww...love how sweet Grant Julie and Ian look and how funny Uncle Tray looks!
Max, Grandaddy, Uncle Joe, Uncle Tray, Grant Julie, and Ian enjoying all the yummy food.
Sweet kisses!
Maci made sure she got her share of yummy food too!
Laura, Rebecca, and Hannah with Maci. Love the squinty face!
Ian and Ace playing phone games. :-)
Then Aunt Kt brought out Ace's cool car track and the phones were forgotten for a while.
White Elephant presents.
Grammy Jen, Grandaddy, and Uncle Joe looking at calendars of the kiddos. Love Grammy Jen's expression!
Sugars and smiles for Grammy Jen!
Aunt Liz playing guitar!
Happy giggles for Aunt Erin.
My favorite present ever!
Playing with bows.
Almost got a picture with bows on both boys' heads at the same time...almost!
Cousins wrestling.
Hehe...love this father-daughter pic!
Ian was thoroughly enthralled with Daddy's cousins. :-)
Our tired little boy got a story read to him and was thrilled.
Back to the bows!
Even though I didn't get pictures of everyone, we definitely enjoyed getting to visit and catch up with so many wonderful people at the Christian family Christmas!
