Christmas in Camden

Wow! What a Christmas! We had so much fun and felt so blessed to spend Christmas in Camden.

Cousins, cousins everywhere was the theme of this family Christmas. With five little ones aging from almost 4 to almost 1 1/2, there was never a dull moment at Casa del Rio!

After a wonderful Christmas Eve service at church, we all came home and dressed the kiddos in their matching pajamas. How Nana found five pair of matching pj's in all those different sizes, I'll never know!! But they were adorable!

Kathryn was thrilled playing in Nana's dress up closet. So much so, that she went to bed Christmas Eve dressed as Cinderalla. So sweet! (Can you tell we are a bit princess crazed--Cinderalla sleeping in a Little Mermaid bed.)
Christmas morning, the cousins woke up to a fun breakfast with Santa.

Kathryn just couldn't believe her eyes!!
And here she is opening her favorite present--Princess Bubbles (conveniently wrapped in a Little Mermaid bag!) Walker was equally as excited. He had so much fun just pulling everything out of his stocking!

Attempting a cousin picture. It's not so easy these days!!
Later on that day, the kiddos decorated cookies. Here's Walker putting sprinkles on his cookie.

And Little Daniel is a boy after my own heart. Look at all that icing!!

The biggest surprise this visit was the wonderful playground Papa built by hand for all of the grandchildren. It was amazing and truly a work of love! Here are the big girls having a tea party. I am sure little Devon will be joining them soon!

And here are Kathryn and Walker on the tire swing.

Kathryn got a little sassy one afternoon. Can you tell???

And look what Matt caught. Pretty good for a beginner fisherman!!


Pops, Tula, Dubby and Bill all came to Camden to pick up me and the kiddos for some time in Mobile. Nana fixed a super delicious meal of red beans and rice and everyone enjoyed the chance to catch up!!
