Christmas in Tunica

This weekend we celebrated Christmas in Tunica with Papa and MawMaw, Zabe and Kristina, and Uncle Burt and Aunt Rebekah.

It was nice to see everyone in the same place, especially since it's a fairly rare occurrence.

 The family visited, ate and enjoyed good company.  Then, it was time for the kids' favorite activity...presents. Elizabeth helped Aunt Rebekah hand out everyone's presents to them.

She also helped people open their presents.

Later, she spent all her time baking cakes with her new playset while Owen wrestled his new snake.

Plus, Owen was enjoying his MS State Bulldog sleeping bag.

 Merry Christmas everyone!

Pre-Christmas in Tunica

This weekend we loaded up in the two wheel drive family sleigh and headed off to have our Christmas celebration with our family in Tunica, MS.  We first made a stop in Senatobia to see our cousins Zabe and Kristina as well as their new house.  

Next it was off to Tunica and to see Papa and MawMaw.  Zabe and Kristina came as well as Burt and Rebekah so the whole family was there.

We visited with everyone and had a fantastic meal.  Afterward, the kids were itching to get into the large stash of gifts that were awaiting them under the Christmas tree.  So, Owen worked with Uncle Burt distributing the gifts to everyone.

Once the gifts were handed out, everyone opened them.  Owen was an old pro by now so we knew that he wasn't going to have any trouble with tricky wrapping or ribbons.  Elizabeth was the surprise though, as she seemed to have a natural talent for tearing open things.

Here's Elizabeth with her new Elmo and her new Doll bed.

It was a good weekend.
