Christmas #2...with the McKinney's.

OK, I am slowly but surely chipping away at this list of blogs I need to catch up on. (I apologize if you are bored to tears at this point...I really just need to get this done for memories' sake and the grandparents:) )
This year, we were lucky enough to have 3 Christmases! The day after Christmas my brother, Zach, his wife, Heather and their adorable little boy, Kaden drove from Kansas to see us!! (They live in San Antonio, but were in Kansas visiting Heather's family.) We were soooo excited to see them!!!
Here is Marissa giving her sweet baby cousin some love:) She was such a wonderful big cousin to Kaden...they had lots of fun together!
Allie was off in Allie-land.
Look at my sweet girl posing...she looks so big here.
Whatcha got there Allie? :)
So, Papa and NeeNee were supposed to come the day after Christmas but because of some yucky weather, they weren't able to come until the next day....the girls were sooooo excited! They were waiting at the door for them:)
Allie and NeeNee!! I love this picture so much!
Marissa found her Papa!
Then it was time to open some presents!!
So much fun!
Excited about all her new toys!
The girls got new umbrellas!
NeeNee and Sweet Kaden.
The aftermath of the present opening! Zurich (Zach and Heather's dog) needed to relax after all the chaos!
Not sure when this was or what she's doing, but it makes me laugh. Silly Allie.....

Me and my bro...love him so much!

Allie and her crazy hair :) and she's eating....
Still eating.... haha.

Marissa had some yummy honey biscuits....NeeNee always takes care of her girls:)

Papa is in heaven here, playing with all 3 of his babies:)

A few days later...the weather was nice, so we all ventured outside for some football, soccer, hanging out, etc. I love moments like this.
Marissa decided to take baby for a stroll...

Sweet picture of Mommy and Baby:)

Allie showing off her soccer skills, we were all very impressed!
Papa and NeeNee getting some lovin' from Kaden.

Marissa needed to take a break to touch up her lip gloss. Look at that face...she is serious about her lip gloss:)

Ok, enough with the makeup....back to soccer!! Her soccer skills were quite impressive also:) I guess Russell and I need to learn a little something about soccer since it seems as though they enjoy playing it:)

Awwww....sooo sweet:)
Papa being silly....as usual:)
Time for Mommy to show them how it's done....
Russell was amazed at my spiral throwing ability:) haha, yea right.

Just a little note to say we cherished this time together so much because Zach and Heather will be moving far, far away in a few months...so we were so thankful we could all be together for Christmas. We had a wonderful time! Love to you all:)

I have read your blog from time to time from Layne's blog...then I saw my sister's old house right across the street from yours in those pictures! Makes me wish she still lived there & I could see Layne & meet you!!
Your girls are precious!
