Four Christmases, NO make that Three

I have not seen "Four Christmases" but here is my family's version!
Our 1st Christmas, THE FLEMING CHRISTMAS
We started our celebration on the 24th with Brandon's parents, brother and family, in Grand Prairie, Texas.
We enjoyed wonderful food and good fellowship. Watching Eli and Georgia interact is so fun! They play together very well and share lots of things (sippy cups, pacis, chew toys??).
Although there are no pictures of the Fleming Boys (Michael and Brandon) they were there!
We woke up to a White Christmas on the 25th!!

I want one of those trees!
Aunt Amy and Eli (all smiles)
Too cute, matched set!



Our Second Christmas, THE STORMS CHRISTMAS
We headed to Chickasha, OK on the evening of the 25th to join my family. We had good roads most of the way but the last 2 hours were icy! Brandon did a wonderful job of getting us there safely!
Mom (Grammy) and Dad (Papa) were excited to have us all home...
Bryan, Carrie, Laura (4 yrs), Bryce (2 1/2 yrs), Benjamin (8 mon), Deborah, Brandon, Eli (1 yr), Blake, Lauren, Kelsey!

The living room before the crazy!!
The Tree.
Notice the Big Kids all have coffee, you need it to survive the CRAZY!
Eli was not into his gifts but he loved the spoon his Aunt Lauren put on the outside of his gift!
Lauren in her Princess Snuggy.
Bryce with his cows, with Eli trying to steal one!
Notice Eli still has his green spoon in his other hand.

Aunt Kelsey got the Storms kids a 5 foot giraffe. Here is Laura trying to ride it with the help of Uncle Blake.
She almost has it!!

Our third Christmas, THE ROBINSON CHRISTMAS
Due to icy roads we were not able to make this Christmas. We were all packed up ready to go when we got the call from my aunts that they had started out and had to turn back. We found out later that we could have made it to my Uncle's house (although the 3 hour trip would have taken 6 hours) but once there we would not be able to get out after dark! This would have put 15 adults and 4 children in a three bedroom house for the night!! It would have gotten interesting! This is the first time in my memory that we have not been up there for Christmas and that was hard but we will see everyone soon!!

Our fourth Christmas, that became our third Christmas,
THE RILEY/STORMS CHRISTMAS
We get together with the Riley's every year to celebrate. Anthony has been around since I can remember and he brought a wonderful girl home, Tarah, and they have two cute girls, Brooklynn (5 yrs) and Britton (3 yrs).

As you can see we had a wonderful 4 days of celebrating our Lord's Birthday with friends and family!
