Christmas with the Nichols

We had our Christmas with my parents and family this past few days and here are all the shots we got. We had a great time and got lots of goodies!

We all went to church Sunday morning and we got some great photos during and afterwards.

Here are the boys crawling up the steps at church. It was so funny to watch Caden play with Lane even though he is older than Caden. Caden had a blast!

The Sistas.
' I thought you said there was suppose to be a baby in this manger.'
'I know I heard right when Mommy read me the Christmas story, but I don't see no baby!'
'Too many kisses!!!! I can't breathe!' Here are the kids after church.
The Iveys
GiGi and Poppa with the grand babies!
The Reaves, Iveys and Nichols
Bamber with the babesBamber with Miss Priss
The Choir did a Christmas program and GiGi had a solo! She did a great job.
Sunday night we headed back to church to visit with Santa and play.
I cannot believe Caden actually turned around, posed, and SMILED!
Here is Caden and Daddy watching the big boys play basketball.
4 generations: Caden, Dad, me and my grandmother
I cannot wait to show this to his future wife.
I thought maybe if I sat in Santa's lap that would show Caden he was not a bad guy. Yeah, not so much... Lane with the big guy!
All the kids gathered around Santa in this photo. Well all but Caden who stood by Mommy in the snow and watched from a distance!
Monday night we had Christmas at Mom and Dad's.
Lane got a real light sabre and was showing it off to us! Notice Tim and Kari's faces, hoping they weren't going to get the 'force' smackdown on their heads!
I would love to have this little gift under my tree!
Avery is the baby girl with a million expressions. Check this one out when she opened her puppy from GiGi and Poppa!
Caden and Daddy acting silly!
Caden was so interested in Avery's baby doll we got her and she was so interested in the vacuum cleaner Caden got from Scott and Kari. It was too funny!
We of course had to get pictures of the kids under the tree among all the presents. I just snapped away and did not realize how funny the pictures were until I downloaded them!
Caden is wondering why Avery gets to play with the ball AND the bracelet.
Here is Caden trying to put a gift tag on Avery's head.
Caden was more interested in running around the living room rather than opening up his gifts! Here is Tim trying to show him the clothing he got as a gift!
I think Santa stopped several times at GiGi and Poppa's house! Look at all those gifts! One tired little guy before we left to come back home to Plano.

Oh my goodness...so much to say and not enough room to type it all. To sum up all my thoughts, you are all so precious and it looks like you had a very blessed time together. There is no place like home is there?

What wonderful pictures. The one of Caden & Santa reminds me of all 4 of mine at that age. They did not want to have anything to do with Santa and there were lots of tears. The next Christmas, they all loved him. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year. Our amazing Savior lives..................
