Christmas in Weatherford

The weekend before Christmas, we traveled to Weatherford to celebrate and spend time with family. We had a fun weekend.

The kids had fun playing with Matt's old toys while we were there.

We had Christmas lunch on Saturday with Matt's family and my grandparents. Afterward we opened presents.

The boys got some fun new costumes. They like to play dress up.

Later that afternoon, we headed to visit Momoo. The kids got more fun presents, and we visited and ate cake. We always look forward to Momoo's chocolate cake!

Sunday, we went to church. It was nice to see friends and family we don't get to see too often and to introduce our sweet Elisabeth to friends at church.

That evening, we visited Brandon, Mindy, Carter, and Addalie in Cordell. Nathan was so excited to play with Carter.  We ate supper and visited and then tried to keep the kids entertained with a TV show, so we could play a game. The boys watched it for a few minutes and then just ended up chasing each other around the house. They were good at playing together without needing adults to entertain them. Poor Samuel took on the Little Brother role that night. He wanted to play with them so badly, and Nathan and Carter didn't really want to include them in their game. Poor guy. He didn't seem too distressed though.

 We did manage to get one quick game in. Brandon and Mindy are one of our favorite couples to play games with. It was a lot easier to play before five kiddos came along :).

 On Monday, we had Christmas with Granny and Grandaddy. It brought back memories of when I was a kid celebrating Christmas at their house.

The weather was pretty mild, so the boys played outside before lunch.

Samuel had fun playing with cousin Declan. Granny saved a lot of my old toys. It's fun to watch my kids play with toys I played with all the time.

We had a delicious lunch with wonderful company. Matt's family joined us and Aunt Sydney, Lindsey and Declan came too.

Our family did not sleep well away from home, and the poor sleeping and wild nap schedule from the weekend finally caught up with Samuel after lunch. Poor guy, it took him a few days to recover from the lack of sleep :).

We left from Granny's house to head home that evening. All three kids slept hard in the car on the way back. They were worn out from the busy, exciting weekend!
