Christmas (Part Four): Stockings!

One of our Christmas traditions at Bob and Ma's house is that everyone gets to open a stocking stuffed full of goodies.  We all bring something for each other's stockings, Ma assembles them, and we open them on Christmas morning.  This year we weren't all able to be together until Christmas day, so we did stockings the day after.  It's always fun to see the excitement on the kids' faces!













After we opened our stockings, Aunt Carol and her family and Ashlee had to leave to return to their homes.  We visited Great  Grandmommy & Great Granddaddy in Fort Worth and took them to lunch at Dutch's (so yummy!).  That evening we played more with the kids' new toys.  Will had an especially good time with his jungle bath toys.  In this photo, the monkeys are falling out of the trees into the alligators' mouths.  Quite the imagination!


The next morning Claire found out what it was like to type on a typewriter...


...and the kids each got to pick out an ornament that had been made by their great-great grandmother.


We had a terrific visit!
