First stop on our Christmas travels was Nana and Bop's house!!
The boys got to work making and decorating cookies for Santa!
And we enjoyed the sunshine and fed the ducks, Graham's favorite thing to do!
We had so many Christmas cookies that we took some over to the fire station right by my parents' neighborhood. And G got to sit in the fire truck! He became so shy while we were there, but he was taking it all in and didn't miss a thing!
That night we went to the Baylor basketball game - great seats!
On Thursday morning the cousins were there bright and early for breakfast, and Gran and Poppa weren't too far behind. First up, open all the presents!
They all tried out the sit and spin!
You could say he's a pretty big Baylor fan!
Katie loves her some Chip and Jo Jo!
Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus!
And then we ate a yummy lunch of ham, potatoes, corn casserole, green bean casserole, strawberry pretzel salad, and rolls! Delicious!
We decided to start a new tradition this year - the kids did the Christmas story. It was precious, and they did an awesome job!
Graham, the shepherd. Kaki was Mary. Caden was Joseph and the narrator. And Bennett was the cow!
Nap time - Kaki decided to snuggle up with Uncle Tag!
More cookie decorating!
And then it was time for the Christmas Eve service at church. The kids got to wear their pajamas!
Sweet Kaki!
The service was so nice, and the 3 big kids did great. Bennett on the other hand - Trent had to stay out in the lobby with him!
The whole group! So thankful for them!
This little character put on quite a show at Cheddar's for dinner!
After dinner we hurried home to get ready for bed and for Santa to come!
Putting reindeer food out!
Pictures with the milk and cookies!
I'm not sure why Bennett didn't make it in these pictures!
And time for a cousin sleepover!
And then the real fun began! We got done what Santa stuff we needed to, and then we busted out the karaoke machine!
Trent singing Genie in a Bottle! Somehow I didn't get anymore pics of us singing, probably because I was laughing too hard the whole time!
Santa came!
See!! We caught him on camera!
Playing outside with new toys and Caden's new goal post!
After Christmas breakfast it was time for us to load up and hit the road for stop #2!
A sure sign of a good time!
What fun Christmas memories in Waco with the Cox family!
Such a great Christmas with everybody. Graham was so sweet to take cookies to the fireman. He was so cute with his bear paw up singing. I'm so glad the Christmas play turned out so well. They were so sweet and did a great job. The Christmas Eve service was so special with everyone here. It was so fun to see all the excitement of the kids. Wonderful Christmas!
