Home for the Holidays!

My home that is! Everyone got to come to our house this year, which has made for a crazy, busy couple of days, well honestly weeks! I'd like to use that excuse for the lack of posting and the Nov. header. *grin* And to be totally honest, I just changed Little Lion's calendar to December today!

SO here it all is in as little as a nutshell as I could fit it!

It all began Sat, Dec 19. We picked up Daddy Lion's parents at the airport.

Our Christmas Sunday best with Grandma and Grandpa Lion!

I cannot believe I got such a great shot of the two of them before church and in front of the tree! Would have been a great one for the Christmas card!

Sunday evening we enjoyed seeing my stepsister and her family who had drove in. Baby Claire is getting so big and she was so much fun.

Can you tell the kids loved her?!?

I think she liked them too!

Christmas morning found Little Pumpkin too early! I can so relate . . .

I love this shot of their faces just as they walk in to see what "Santa" left!

Look at that smile! He loved the pj's ~ put them on right then on top of the ones he already had on! Too funny.

Later Lolly, Pop and Tia came over for more celebrating. Lolly got this awesome shot of Little Pumpkin's pure excitement when opening Tia's gift!
A pinkalicious dress! With the fixings for a pinkalicious cupcake baking day! What an awesome Tia.

For Christmas, Tia was my personal shopper and bought me this sweet shirt for Christmas day. After a full day of shopping she ended up buying the pink one for her. Later she found the purple version for mom ~ so of course we had to have a picture of the three of us in our shirts! *smile* Thanks again Tia.

Side note: If I ever look trendy and stylin' you can bet Tia has dressed me! *wink*

Papaw finally made it in from overseas and we celebrated with him and Ms. K on Sunday.

This is Little Pumpkin getting into her "stocking"! YES!!! That huge bag is just their stocking stuff; can you say SPOILED!?!

A sweet picture of Little Pumpkin and Papaw snuggling in her new blanket.

I think Ms. K was dodging the camera lots, but I do think she enjoyed her red vase! I can't wait to see the flower arrangement she does for it. She is quite talented that way!

So, from our busy (but happy) home to yours: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
