Starting Christmas at MeMe and PaPaw's

Finally on Monday, Dec 29th, we were able to celebrate Christmas at MeMe and Papaw's. Andy didn't arrive until the 27th, we were celebrating with the Schmidts then, 28th-church and Beck family so 29th was finally our day. Brent had to go ride a horse and feed so it was late morning before we got started. Below are pictures of the boys playing as they waited for Daddy (Uncle Brent) to get home.

Mom makes Christmas sweet rolls every year for breakfast. It is my favorite and a treasured tradition. This year she wasn't going to make them since it was so late. However, when she heard how much I missed them, she made them for me. Isn't she a WONDERFUL MOM!! I love you!

Boys got new Lincoln Logs from Kyle/Lindsey. It included a train set which is their favorite right behind tractors. We had fun building houses and train stations. Thanks for the logs!!!

Kelton never quits smiling. He is SOOO Happy!!

Getting rid of all the bad guys in the fort. This is a favorite place for the grandsons. When mom/dad move, the fort is going to have to move somewhere. It has many memories!

Everyone played ball waiting for Brent. Even Brayson got a few kicks with dad's help.

Karson twisted MeMe's arm to give him a ride in the wagon.

Hard at work in PaPaw's garden

"What do you think we should plant here???" "Do you really think that will grow here??"

Trying to get a picture of all 6- FAILURE

Christmas Norris

We finally made it up to Lubbock to celebrate Christmas. We finished our last Christmas Friday night, Jan 2. When Andy's family goes to Paris for Christmas, we are always celebrating way into the new year by the time we make it to all the different families. We are just happy we all still get together and enjoy families.

Time for presents. Notice Robyn is here. She is feeling SOOO much better and was released to drive this week. Gracie is still in NICU but growing and improving everyday. She is up to 3 lbs so we are hoping she will get to go home soon. Also, her opening in her heart area is getting smaller so hopefully, no surgery!! YEAH!! Keep praying for herand the family!!

Grandma had a pile of presents!!

Korbin gets help from Kristi

Macy shows off her new purse. She was very proud of it!!

I didn't get hardly any pictures since it was so late and crazy. Maybe Neil or Lubbock bunch has more I can borrow!!

Beck Christmas

We are so glad to get together will all the Beck cousins still. We ate at Bill and Iva's with everyone. We just missed Kathy's family. The cousins are finally getting old enough to all sit together and play. More fun in future years!!!
All the great-grands together

Presents, Presents, and More Presents

Schmidt Christmas

Kyle and Lindsey came over Saturday night for Christmas. It is always fun to get the kids together and play. Brent also learns a little more about girls when Kambell and Addison come. He lifted Kambell up and spun her around. She immediately began crying and wanted down. Girls are nothing like our boys!!
Kambell loves to wear dresses and hats.

Kelton getting checked out by Kyle and Grandpa. No one can believe his birthmark above his eye and has to do a double check.

Two littlest ones enjoying some wiggle time away from the bigger kids.

What a face!!

"My Present?? I got a horse!"

Before everyone left, they wanted a last bit of chocolate cake. Of course, Grammy said SURE. Kambell really enjoyed it!! Where is your shirt and dress????

Christmas Day

Christmas day was a quiet day for us. After Santa came, the grandparents came over for lunch and to watch the boys open presents from mom and dad.
Three Handsome boys wish you Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Schmidts

Kelton tells Great Granddaddy Durward all he got

Dad stayed up too late watching a movie

Kelton got into opening presents too. The boys were not fast enough opening his so he decided he would try to get into them himself. He was pretty successful!!

After opening presents the paper was way more fun than the gifts!

Whoa, Gene!! Easy with the scissors- we'll get you a different present next year!

Two of a kind!! I am very thankful for a terrific mom. She is wonderful with the boys and a great help. She is willing to drop everything and help me. She also is great about suprising me with a clean house and clothes ironed. We will miss you when you move a few blocks over. People always claim we look alike (even since I was younger). I couldn't ask to look like a better person. You're the best, MOM!!

Kelton turned into Kramer!!

The boys got sleeping bags for Christmas. They had a campout Christmas night in their new bags. Korbin hasn't quite figured his out yet.

Santa's visit

Santa's Little Helpers are dressed and ready for bed. Karson was ready to go to bed so Santa would come visit. The went to bed early but sat around playing in bed. Unfortunately, we had to use a little force to get them to sleep!! Even bribing with Santa wouldn't work.

Ms. Jackie knew that Karson was worried about Santa getting into our house since we don't have a chimney so she bought him a Santa key. He hung it on the door as he set out the milk and cookies.

Santa supported John Deere way too much this year

Boys looking at their toys. Karson was up first after mom and woke up everyone. He looked at the presents and then said that Santa didn't eat the cookies. He was not happy!! Santa did eat one and took a bite out of the others. Maybe next year Santa will be hungrier!! OOPS!! Korbin was so sleepy he wasn't too sure about it but really liked it when daddy got the tractors out.

Still thinking about it all or wondering when can I get back to bed

Drag time

On the go

Making hay bales and loading them up to take to the cows. True farmers just like Grandpa

Kelton finally woke up to find his gifts. Tractors for all!!
