Santa Claus Visits the Cheatwood House

Just taking it all in.

Yes, Santa was a little too generous!

Santa hid something under a blanket!

It was a Barbie Jeep!

 

Back to the other toys.

What's in there?

Nana and Papaw stopped by on their way to Honey Grove, so Emma had to have Papaw open her microphone. Notice that she's telling him how to do it.

Finally opening presents from Mommy & Daddy.

Disappointed to learn that there were no more presents to open! (Her favorite part!)

Chris & Evie's Ugly Sweater Party

Christmas Eve night, we went to the Alford's for their Christmas Eve party, which was an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. I scoured Ebay and came up with some winners!

Here is part of our sweater fashion show!

Sherri's sweater, by her own admission, came from her own closet.

Clinton was very proud of his sweater.

Ricky, also, sported a sweater vest.

The three winners: Clinton, Steve, & Chris

My husband is so handsome.

The girls look really excited to see Santa, don't they?!

Christmas Eve at Nana & Papaw's

It's snowing here today, and that takes me back into the holiday mindset, which reminded me that I haven't posted our Christmas pictures yet!

Christmas Eve always starts off with lunch at my Memaw's house, but I forgot to take any pictures! I made up for it though with lots of pictures at my mom & dad's later, where our immediate family exchanged gifts.

Emma got to open her biggest one first!

It was a Tinkerbell chair!

Jalyn looks more impressed with Kam's gift than he does.

Unfortunately, I think she got that tongue sticking out thing from me.

Just checking out Tinkerbell.

Dr. Emma

Poor BrayBray was sick and didn't have much fun.

Those glasses stayed on for the duration of the gift opening!

JayJay was so excited about his karaoke machine, he passed out!

Candy!

Alex's Birthday

Alexandrea Lee Killian is 11. She was the first baby in our family and now she's a tween. Because her birthday is before Christmas, her parents decided to just do a small get together on (really 2 days before) her birthday, and let her have a big party later (which will be at my house next week).  

Look at this face!

Alex trying to peek at her presents.

Cake time!

These kids play rough! Emma had just dive bombed Alex for wrestling Kirk. Don't mess with her Turkey!

More playing!

And then Kinsley dived on top of Alex! It was a free for all!

Alex opening her present from us!

There was a bunch of stuff in there!

This is my pet peeve by the way...

 Since Emma and Kinsley weren't going to see each other on Christmas, they exchanged their presents to each other early.

Emma got a Kid Tough digital camera!
