I don't even know where to begin to write our Christmas post. It seems like so long ago because a lot has happened since then. But, as always it was a fabulous time! The Hunters came down a little over a week before Christmas. Brenley was so anxious for them to get here. She was basically packed and ready to go over to Nana's two days before they got here. When she first saw them she just melted into their hugs and said, "I love being with my family." It was precious!
It was a fabulous week. Our whole family hasn't been together all at the same time since last Christmas and even then it was a short time, so it was great to spend some time together. Danny and Amber are living with my parents temporarily and we spent the night over there three nights in a row. It was great!
I'll take you on a little tour of our Christmas in pictures...
The girls played together so well! Here they got to put on makeup all by themselves.
My parents bought a bounce house and set it up in the middle of their living room. It was FABULOUS!!! The kids jumped on it all the time! All seven of them loved it!
Canon is a future basketball star. He can make trick shots better than most adults I know. He has two Dude Perfect videos already...he's pretty amazing.
This is Canon doing a few trick shots off the bounce house.
Here they are, all seven precious kids. They LOVE being together!
One afternoon we went to the Gaylord to look at all the Christmas decorations. It was a lot of fun.
Nana and Pops stopped to pose with all the kids and a cooking reindeer.
Beautiful Atley!
Everybody had to pose before the ice cream came.
Yum! This kid knows good ice cream!
Amber, Nana and the sweet babies of the family.
Canon is pretty crazy about his ice cream too. He made sure the bowl was empty :)
Shelly and sweet Champ!
Back at home, every body in their number shirts. At this time we had kids that were 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1, and 1. It wasn't long after this that Atley and Avery turned 5. But it sure was fun for the girls to all be four at the same time and get to go in the same class together at church.
Our Christmas. It was crazy fun! Lots of opening and lots of happiness :)
The big girls got scooters, matching jammies and capes.
The girls and the babies.
Brooklyn taking a ride.
One afternoon the boys watched the kids while us girls went to downtown Grapevine to do a little shopping. We haven't done this in years and it was so much fun to get out, just us girls. I love being with my mom and sisters...my best friends :)
Sucker break for the big kids.
My precious Grandpa flew in from Missouri for a week too. It was so fun to get to get to spend some time with him. He is as precious as they come. He will turn 90 at the end of the month but is still doing pretty good, even after having open heart surgery this year. I loved getting to spend some time with him and for him to get to know my girls. Precious memories were made, like this one where he dressed up with the girls. They think Grandpa Bob is a pretty sweet man!
It was a fabulous Christmas. I'm blessed to be a part of this family.
