Christmas in Hartselle

We are lucky enough to have a couple of weeks off work for the holidays, so this year, we got to spend lots of time with both mine and Dan's family. The week before Christmas, we headed to Hartselle to visit Gigi, Jabo, Patrick, and Clay and Michelle. We also got to see Grandmother, Pappa, Tamra, and Randy as well as Nanny and Papa and some of the Staudt crew! It was a full week of shopping, opening gifts, and cooking that went by so fast! We had so much fun with everyone being together under one roof.
And of course, we took lots and lots of pictures that can tell about the week even better than I can put into words.
Here are pictures of all the family. Yes, Will is asleep in our big family picture! :)

Will had a blast this Christmas. He was all into opening gifts and literally could not wait for the next present! He even got to help out Andrew. However, I have a feeling this will be the last year Andrew lets him get away with that. ;) In these pictures you can tell just how much Will loves being with everyone! He is such a sweetheart and loves his family!

Even Dale (the elf on the shelf) made the trip to Hartselle! This has been a really fun tradition that we have started in our family. Will loves to wake up and look for Dale every morning.

Andrew: the baby with a thousand looks!

What is better than one baby to dress up? 3 babies that you can dress up to match!

This was one of my favorite moments...Andrew decides to plant one on Kate! Poor baby Kate had no idea what was coming her way! :)

Thanks Gigi and Jabo for having us! We had the best time and cannot think of a better way to spend Christmas than with our wonderful family!
