Christmas with Pop

This weekend, Jeremy's Family all came in from Abilene, Houston, and Florida and we celebrated Christmas with Jeremy's Pop.  We always have such a good time when all of the cousins get together. Our group keeps growing and growing with the addition of new great grandchildren for Pop.  Jeremy's cousin Kimberly is married to the quarterback for University of Houston, Case Keenum.  He couldn't make it yesterday because of practice, but he sent a  backpack for all of the great grand kids. Here is a picture of them showing Case some love!

 The girls went to downtown Gladewater to check out some shops and the boys stayed at the house. Uncle Mike entertained Judson with a ride on the lawnmower.

While in town, we bought some ribbon at The Bow Shop and Aunt Suzie made Addison some cute hair bows!

It was getting late in the afternoon and Judson did not want to take a nap! There were too many exciting things going on. We learned at Thanksgiving that Judson NEEDS his nap or he is a big ol' grump! So Aunt Ashley gave it a try along with Nanna and Dad.  Nothing would work. It finally took Mom laying down with him and watching cartoons for him to give it up!

 A group played an exciting game of scrabble.

Kimberly worked on making some scrubbies which are dish scrubbers that Jeremy's Momer used to make and give.  She taught Kimberly how to make them, too.

Jeremy asked Audry to wake up Judson and she shook him and shook him and said," Judson, do you wanna play?" He said,"Yeah, I wanna play." and that was that. Here they are watching a movie.

Each of the cousins take turns reading The Christmas Story in the Bible and this year was Matt's turn. After the story is read, everyone joins hands and prays.

 We ate a delicious meal, of course.

and took some pictures with Pop.  Pop with his Grandkids.

The great grandkids opened their Christmas gifts and we all had a white elephant Christmas. Jeremy had his gifts stolen over and over and over and everyone thought it was so funny.   Here is a picture of Judson with his McDonald's drive thru headset so he could take everyone's order.

We all had a great time being together and are looking forward to all being together again soon.
