Some Favorite Christmas Memories

We had a great time with friends and family in December. Here are some of our favorite memories....
The Crews and Carey Family

The Crews and Kerce Family

The Cushman Crew

Daddy (Uncle David) reading the Christmas story from the Bible.

All the grandchildren on the Cushman side. How sad poor Lexi is!!

Lexi loved the sunglasses she found in her purse from Nannie.

Hayden with new spy gear to compete his special missions.

Construction man Zade cheesing for the camera.

Molly, Leah, Hayden, Zade and Ashlyn at Mimi's. (Love that smile, Zade!)

Leah opening a gift from Daddy early.

Molly before she opened her special gift from Daddy.

Ashlyn opening her special gift from Dad. Wow, a bar of soap from the hotel!! What a good sport!

I can't even begin to explain. He's our favorite guy!

Ashlyn was surprised with an ipod from Santa.

Molly's biggest surprise! A cell phone that she's gone text crazy with.

Leah's surprise LPS (Littlest Pet Shop) that she had been asking for.

Mama and Daddy

Mimi in Leah's papasan chair. So comfy!

Wii for Chrismas! This is what we saw lots of. :) He's really trying to pay attention to Molly showing him the burn on her arm, just a little distracted.

Christmas in Florida

Leah was so excited to make this gingerbread house!

She thought that she was going to make one at school, because her sisters did when they were in 3rd grade. She was quite disappointed that she didn't, so...

Leah and Daddy made one at home. They had a good time building and decorating the house (and eating the candy!) If you've never made one of these gingerbread houses, it's very time consuming, because you have to wait between each section of the project for the icing to dry. Since we live in Florida and missed out on the "White Christmas" we had been dreaming of, Leah passed the time by jumping on the trampoline with the water hose to keep cool. :)

She came through the house every so often to check on the progress and add a little to her masterpiece.

The end result was worth every bit of the wait though. Good job, Leah!
