Christmas with the Lawyers

The day after Christmas, we headed to Mom and Dad's for Christmas dinner with the Lawyers. This is what greeted us when we walked in the door- a stairway full of stockings. I love it! There is nothing better on Christmas than opening stockings together. That was always the very first thing we did on Christmas morning. Look at this- the family has grown so much, there is only one step left! No surprise that we found Mom and Dad hard at work in the kitchen...
Another cute family pic in front of the tree.
Opening stockings with Katie and Jared...
Uncle Jason and Lexi helped Cade open his...
Chris found the perfect stocking stuffer for my dad- a lighter shaped like a rifle. Of course, he loved it!
Carson and Ella checked out their stockings and the loot under the tree...
The Lawyer grandkids
The grandkids plus their Grammy and Pappaw
Time to open gifts! Chad, April, and Laila got Ella her very own disco ball! She was so excited!
Cade got a new Tonka truck from Pappaw and Grammy...
A pic of the craziness. Once again, the chaos of the whole scene is something I love!
Katie and her new Kids' Cookbook. Lay off of her, Jason!! =)
Lexi opening the purse and boots we gave her. Gone are the days of toys- now this young gal wants accessories! She is growing up too fast!
Santa brought lil' Jared a brand-new 40 inch TV! Lucky boy!
Lex and Ella quickly changed into their matching gowns, compliments of Gram...
Carson and Cade checked out new computers...
Then we snacked and ate and snacked some more. Cade and Laila stripped down and decided to compare bellies. haha! Cade was having so much fun doing this, but his little skinny self just can't compare. Aren't they just the cutest?! These are the pictures I'll love to show them when they grow up!
We played a couple games, including a few mean rounds of Pictionary. Boys vs. girls. The guys were taking this so seriously...
But the girls' team managed to triumph in the end. Woohoo!
These little kiddos were up early the next morning, but we could tell they were a little wiped out. Poor Cade just looks stunned. haha!
Thanks, Everyone, for spoiling us! We love you all so much!!
