It Was A Merry Christmas!

We returned home tonight from our Christmas holiday travels.  We left Wednesday morning and went to Abilene to get ready for the Christmas Eve festivities at Granny's house.  The weather gave us a nice suprise, a white Christmas Eve.  The snow did keep Jeff, Tami, and Cody from being able to come, but we did get to have Christmas with them this afternoon.

Caroling before opening presents.

Joey reliving his childhood.  It is a long story but a funny present!

Jaden and Jaxon got these from scooters for Christmas.  Since the ground was covered in snow, we decided to try them out on the kitchen floor.  I had to get in on the fun!

Thursday afternoon we scraped the snow off the car and headed to Snyder.  It did take us a little longer to get there because of the road conditions, but we made it safely!  Christmas morning we woke up and had Christmas with Mom and Dad.  I did not get any pictures of opening presents, but Joey and I did pose by the tree.

We also tried to pose in front of the snow covered tree at Gran's house, but the sun reflecting off the snow made it hard for us to keep our eyes open!

Christmas afternoon the gang all arrived!  Gran's house was full of fun and food!

By the end of the day, there were 19 adults and 2 cute little girls at Gran's house.  We had lots of fun opening presents, cooking, eating, cleaning and playing.  Abbye had her first lesson in playing 42.

Cade and Kyla arrived with some exciting news!  They are engaged!

There were lots of happy squeals with all the Crenshaw women in one room!  We are so glad that Kyla will be joining the family!

On Saturday, we went over to the West's house to see what Santa brought Jaden and Jaxon and to play with the Wii that the boys got from Jason and Jami. There was some serious Wii playing going on! Jami defended her title on Toy Story Mania against Joey, Jaden, and Jaxon.

We are so blessed with wonderful families and had a wonderful time with them this Christmas!  Now onto the Christmas de-decorating and checking off the "to-do" list to get ready for the new year!
