Opryland Country Christmas

Why we waited 2 days before Christmas to see Santa and visit Opryland and do ICE is beyond me and will never happen again... I know, never say never but you know what I mean!  The kids had a blast.  We started off at the ICE walk through thing.  It was cold and we took the kids in their Christmas pajamas so we carried extra warmer clothes to put on top to keep in the heat!

Margaret, Liam and I took a trip down the Ice slide.

In awe of all the ice!

This one has no clue whats going on ;)

It ends with the beautiful Nativity scene and story of Jesus' birth.  The true meaning of Christmas!

Nana, Papa and the grandkids

My group who never look and the camera at the same time.  I'll take what I can get!

These pictures couldn't be any cuter!  Reid always has his mouth open for pictures like this.  He is easy to pick out in pictures.  

The cousins!  

Barker Christmas Festivities!

Creekside Manor Neighborhood Christmas Party!  We spent the day shopping so by the time we made it to the party the twins were wore out!

They made reindeer food, painted and put together ornaments. 

After eating and crafts we got together and the did our annual ornament swap! The kids had so much fun! We have the best neighborhood around! The boys slept through the crafts but ....

They scarfed down some mac and cheese once they finally woke up!

Manchester Christmas Parade fun!  Enough said!

Baking Christmas cookies at Nana & Papas house.

I think they ate more than they made!

Decorating and eating their masterpieces!

First Steps Preschool Christmas 2015

Liam loves school (once he gets there) and their little Christmas program was sooo cute!  Liam was front and center and was excited to see all of us in the bleachers watching him!

In the classroom the kids got to decorate cookies ... and eat them!

And thanks to dad he got icing in his hair! 

Headless gingerbread man!

I love this boy!

The little ones got to enjoy a cookie, too!

Here are all Liam's sweet little ornaments he made in class!  I was too afraid to put all the regular ornaments on the tree this year because I just knew the twins would pull them all off or pull the whole tree down one.  It was so sweet just seeing all of Liam's handmade ornaments on the tree all by themselves.  

Liam, I will cherish these FOREVER!!!!!
