Christmas at Grandad's House

Christmas #4 was at Grandad's house. We met at Grandad's house on Christmas day for a noon lunch of turkey and dressing. I have to say my favorite meal is turkey and dressing. We somehow fit 13 people around a table that was made for 8 people. We sure didn't have a lot of elbow room, but it is so neat enjoying the dinning room with Christmas dishes once a year. After dinner, we had dessert and coffee followed by opening presents. It was such a nice time - I wish it wasn't already over.

Christmas Eve at Grammie's House

Christmas #3 was at Grammie's house on Christmas Eve. Yes -Christmas Eve is as crazy as Thanksgiving. It is probably even more crazy since it is too dark to gather outside. We had lots of finger foods while we visited with the family. Like always, Ainsley was not about to miss a thing so she stayed up late and didn't fall asleep until after we left. We had a nice time like always. Josh's cousin, Jackie, was disappointed that I forgot Catch Phrase. What was I thinking?

Christmas with Grandma, Grandpa and Stewart

Christmas #2. This year we celebrated Christmas with my family at our house. We had pork roast for dinner with all of the sides. After dinner, we opened presents from each other. Josh and I got a Nintendo Wii. We have been playing it none stop. Ainsley got a lot of neat presents too. I think her favorite gift so far is her new baby doll. Check out the pictures below.

Williams Family Christmas

Last night we had Christmas number 1 with Josh's immediate family. Josh made homemade lasagna and his brothers brought all of the sides. It was so nice seeing everyone. Jim, Josh's Dad, brought presents for everyone. It was really nice. We can't wait to see everyone again on Christmas Eve at Grammie's house.

Cookie Swap

This last weekend I went to a cookie swap party at Tonya's house. We frosted cookies, drank poinsettias (a holiday drink) and played catchphrase. It was really nice hanging out with the girls. We should do it again next year!

Pulling Up

We had to lower Ainsley's matress in her crib today because she has started pulling up. Her poor little butterfly mobile is now hanging by a thread:) She is crawling all over the house and is pulling up on everything. It is so neat to see her change month after month. We truly have a little blessing.

Harry's Birthday

Our good friend, Harry, had a birthday last week. So, we celebrated by having dinner and game night at our house. I fixed a lemon cake, and Josh fixed a pork tenderloin with beans and cornbread. I thought the food was outstanding. After dinner and cake, we played rummy 500. I am happy to say that I finally won. Happy Birthday Harry!
