Getting things started with our cousin Braeden. The kid is just amazing and now Ty has someone else more his size that he can buddy around with.

... and with our excitement.. sometimes the safest place to be in on your Mommy's lap.

... or as Oliver, Ty, Abby and Ashlyn have found out.. it could be your Great Aunts lap.

... and as Ella has found... Great Aunt Arlene's lap is not too bad either.

... see what happens when you get a little sugar in a few boys.

.. see its not all that bad. We can calm down when we need to.

And once Thanksgiving past, it is on to prepare and get the decorations going for Christmas.

You wouldn't think that we could leave Aunt Lauren out of the fun of getting the Christmas trees. Although, isn't someone missing? Where is Uncle Jordan? Figures Aunt Lauren would have to do all the work.

To help get the mood set, Ashlyn and I both sang in the church choir. Great Grandma was even able to come out and listen. What a present and surprise that was!

Great Grandpa Love even invited us all over to his house. Here is some photo time with Ella and Cael.

You can't leave Coy out, he needs his one on one time with Great Grandpa.

Christmas is finally here and so is Oliver and Abby at Grandma Love's house.

Uncle Elliott and Aunt Jo have taken a breather from opening gifts... but our Buckner cousin has not.

Great Uncle Ron holding Coy, Christmas Eve at Grandpa's and Grandma's.

Cael working his magic to get Grandma Raines to hold him.

The presents are all gone... but there still is time from some photos.

Ashlyn and Ella back at home with the anticipation just eating them up inside.

Am I not an all-right guy sharing my gifts with Coy?

But sometimes you little brother just slows your down too much.

Guess Ella is left to opening her gifts with Zeke. Can you just sense his enthusiasm?
