We really got together on New Year's Day,
But I back-dated this post a day anyway.
For when I send this blog to print, we'll be able to read,
about ALL the Christmas gatherings this year with family.
We gathered after church all together at the farm,
Kimmie reads a quick story to the boys.
Their attention span is short, gotta change state often.
Ethan and Evan laugh about the funny stories they
made with their new MadLibs books.
Cameron snags Kimmie's chapstick and shares it with Sam. You know, to be as
rough and tough as these boys are, they sure to do love chapstick and lotion...

We gathered after church all together at the farm,
to have a great meal and open gifts at the barn.
It was a mild, relaxing day with little time on the road.
For we enjoyed our Christmas travels, but it was nice to stay close to home.
The kids' gifts had a "theme" this year. Sam's began with a book about all the animal sounds. We have really been working on that lately. So far, he's really good a what a duck, a kitty cat, and a lizard says. His next gift was "Sam's First Deer," a singing six-point deer with light up dimples, just like his. Wonder what his last gift will be...
Cameron's gifts were all monkey themed to match his new room. Monkey pajamas, a talking/flipping monkey, and a monkey pillow pet for his new big boy bed.
Dad really likes themed gifts. They get him really excited.

Somehow I didn't get any pictures of Kayden and his new TAG reader he got. It has a magic pen and several cool books to read, a perfect gift for the newest READER in our family!

We are a family of outdoorsmen (and women), and it has become tradition for PawPaw and Kimmie to purchase the grandkids a lifetime Sportsman's license for their one-year-old Christmas, which leads me up to Sam's final gift. This year was Sam's year! Now, Sam has a hunting and fishing license to hunt in Tennessee for the rest of his life. No renewals. No expiration dates. Pretty cool gift huh!? He (and his daddy) really thought so too. Thank you Kimmie and Pawpaw for a wonderful Christmas this year!
Our friends do the lifetime hunting/fishing license for their grandkids - it's such a great idea! :-) Looks like you had a very Merry Christmasy - New Years! :-)
