Nichols' Christmas at the Ivey's!

This year the Nichols and the Reaves families headed north to Plano to spend Christmas with us.  It was so nice having everyone at our house and not having to travel!

Nannie came as well and this was her first time to meet/hold Cameron.  She was a big help babysitting while Mom and I ran some errands over the weekend.

The Reaves arrived on Saturday morning and Bella and Lane were able to meet/hold Cameron for the first time as well!  Here is Bella holding her baby cousin.  She looks so much like Kari, it is CRAZY!!!  She had a blast holding him. 

Lane was a natural at calming Cameron!  He even fell asleep in Lane's arms!

Auntie Kay and her Cade Man!

All 4 cousins!  They don't look like they are having fun at all do they?!

Me and My Sista!

I bought a cookie decorating kit for the kids to play with!  It came with markers that had edible ink!  Here are the 2 kiddos coloring their cookies!

For our hosted Christmas Gift Opening, we had all the kids' gifts in the media room under that tree.  We started off with the kids' gifts for obvious reasons!  

Here is Nannie, Lane, Mom, Bella, Dad and Caden.  Cameron was still sleeping!

Kari and me with the family!  Kari had a shirt on that said, 'I Believe' with a Santa hat and I had a shirt on with Santa that said 'I Believe'!  Totally not planned, but completely typical for us!

Silly Face Time!

Look how cute these 3 are!

GiGi and her Lil' Honey!

Caden got a Dallas Stars pillow from GiGi and Poppa and he loved it!

 Silly Face Time!  Although I think Daddy and Mommy were the only ones acting silly!

Serious Face Time!

Dad, Me, Kari and Mom.  Don't laugh at all the family pictures, rarely are we all ever together at the same time to slow down long enough to take some good shots!

Me with Kari!

Dad, Kari, Nannie and Me!  3 Generations of Nichols!

After the kids opened all their gifts, we headed to the living room to open the adults' presents.

Here is Tim with his Stars shirt from Mom and Dad!

Looking all 'Gangsta' in his hoodie from them.

Kari with her thirtyone bag from Mom and Dad.

When Kari and I were little we played this Wooly Willy game at Memaw and Papaw's house.  It has a magnet wand and you drag the 'beard' over to the guy's face.  She is also holding a Cardinal ornament I got her.  Memaw loved Red Birds, and it has become our tradition to get them each year for Christmas.

We had such a wonderful time with the families this past weekend making memories that will last a lifetime!  We love watching all the kids playing together and having fun!  We are already looking forward to next year!
