Christmas in Mt. Ayr

We were able to celebrate Christmas in Mt. Ayr a few weekend ago. Anna, Pat, Vada and Isla were able to be home for Christmas this year, which was a joy for everyone! We had SO MUCH fun! The kids just loved spending time together playing, just as much as us adults enjoyed sitting around visiting, cooking and golfing (the guys anyway!).

These pics are out of order! So sorry!

 

The kids with the prize for the Minute To Win It game. I think there was a 4 way tie! It was a huge candy cane filled with gum balls.

Mom and Dad gave the kids new pj's to wear on "Christmas Eve", Haydn, Vada and Stella's were matching this year.

Saturday afternoon all the kids decorated gingerbread men. They turned out SO cute! I'm kicking myself for not taking an after photo of the adorable gingerbread men.

Reading the annual, T'was the Night Before Christmas

We gave Uncle Mark strict orders to wear either his Red Solo Cup shirt, his I Am The Uncle shirt or a Ringgold County shirt! He made our night by wearing all 3!! (Yes, we are all easily entertained, why do you ask???)

The whole crew!

Christmas morning! Wes with the Christmas Vacation moose mug (he also received Cousin Eddie's dickie, which he has yet to model for us!! maybe it will make an appearance on New Year's Eve?!?!?)

One of the Minute To Win It games, but the best one by far! Put a tennis ball at the end of a pair of panty hose, but the panty hose around your head and swing the ball to knock over cans. It was hilarious! Mike showing his mad skills.

Anna ready to rob a bank.

Another game, pinning Rudolph's red nose onto the end of your nose that is covered in Vaseline. Hannah was awesome at this game!

The night of the Christmas party Santa and Mrs. Claus had time to make a visit!! Wow!

Christmas morning, P opening a gift.

The weekend was so much fun. We hated to leave. Can't wait to get everyone together again!
