Christmas in North Carolina

We had such a nice week in North Carolina before Christmas, It was so fun to be there on Christmas too! This is baby Jesus and by Hudson and Remy in John the Babtist. They are a few of mine and Beths old dolls and we have had them out for Christmas for as long as I can remember.

Tea had a fun time with all the different head bands to put on.

The kiddos get to open one present on Christmas eve which are always some new pajamas.

Tea loved to sit on this present, here she is being a little reindeer.

All the kiddos in there new pajamas

We acted out the Christmas story the best we could, here is Parley as the donkey, Tea as Mary, and Remy as Joseph.

Here are the three kings bringing, gold, frankincense, and "panths"mers. Haha Grandma is so creative.

Christmas morning, the kids were so excited to see what santa brought them. Remy actually went down with out me knowing and came up to tell Hudson that is way way funner down stairs with the new toys! Little stinker! Remy got a marble works and was so happy! Tea enjoyed it as well, Remy was patient and shared.

Hudson got a Knex set, it surprises me how much he can build with out any help! He is growing up so fast!!!

Tea got a stroller for her doll and a new dress for her doll. It is so fun to have a girl and see them getting into the baby doll phase.

Hudson got Remy a light saber and Remy got one for Hudson. They were both so excited to get one!

My brother Parley is engaged Erica who we love, she sent some presents for the kiddos and got Tea a cell phone. It was her favorite! She would walk around talking on it, I wonder where she learned that so young?

Her she is texting all ready! This is what we have to look forward too.

Christmas Day already for church, Grandma Ging and Grandpa Jed gave Tea her pretty dress and the boys some new Church shirts and ties before we left to NC.

Tea trying to attack Papa with the flower!

This is the best we could get!

Remy.... He was trying to pick a flower and instead under estimated his strength and pulled out the whole plant, haha we all had a good laugh.

It has been so nice to have my sister Bethany at BYU this year! I got to be the mom and help her move in and it is so fun to see her more! I can't wait until my Momma gets home (and dad):) in July! We have missed them and still feel a little home sick with out them here with us since we moved back! Less than 5 months and only 4 transfers to go!! Sorry dad I am counting! Hudson asked " does Grandma and Grandpa get home July 1st or 2nd "? We still don't know its now kinda a family joke!

Uncle Par worked for scholastic and bought my kids so really fun books for Christmas. Grandma reading a few of them, doesn't Remy look like the Grumpy Cat?

Tea trying to eat Grandmas toes!

Hudson had to go potty and of course mentioned it after we passed the exit with the gas stations right of the freeway. We took the next exit in a small town of Blackwater Missouri and hoped we could find a bathroom. We drove for a few miles before coming to a tiny main street. They had some cool little shops and we stopped in one and all used there potty, we bought the kids each a little something because we felt bad to just use the Restroom. The man had a sweet handlebar mustache, I wish we could have got a picture. This was painted on a little garden courtyard they had. It ended up being a nice little detour!
