Christmas in Arkansas!

On Christmas day we headed to Arkansas to celebrate with family!  Nana had a delicious dinner waiting for us and the cousins were so excited to see each other.  After dinner we celebrated Jesus' birthday with a birthday cake!  The kids were having so much fun together that they forgot about the one gift they always open the night before we open presents at Nana and Papa Doc's!
 


 
Look at these silly kiddos...always looking for a laugh!  They all got matching pajamas and card games.  They look super cute in their camo pj's!
 



 
After we wake up, we always take a picture of the cousins on the stairs before opening presents.  I love Ben's bed head!
 




 
This seemed to be the year for sports gear.  Matthew got some San Francisco 49ers gear, while Nate got a Cavalier's jersey, Ben got a Cowboys jersey and Zac got a Bronco's jersey.  Funny how the gifts are changing!  Later in the day we enjoyed ham, dressing and all the yummy sides...and topped it all off with pie and cake.


 
The next day we headed to Hot Springs to celebrate with the Williams side of the family.  Ashley and Jason opened up their new home and were great hostesses!  Despite the cold, rainy weather...we still managed to have a lot of fun!  Matthew is definitely outnumbered by the girl cousins on this side of the family.  He played outside with the dogs most of the time!
 




 
After we left Ashley's, we headed to Mamaw Shelia and Papaw Guy's house to celebrate!  Mamaw looked great and seemed really excited to see all of us.  She loved seeing Jasper and tried several times to let him in!  Mama Ball cooked a fantastic meal that was devoured by all!  Molly loved playing with Mamaw's electric chair and all of her hand and leg wraps.  Silly girl!  It was a great night.  We enjoyed catching up with everyone and giving Mamaw lots of love! 







 
So blessed to be a part of this sweet family!
 
Christmas 2014 was wonderful.  Lots of great memories were made.  Looking forward to many more memories with our family in 2015!
