Christmas Day

Cooper slept until 8:00 Christmas morning!  We had to wake Emma up!  Here they are ready to go into the living room.

 Nana and Papa Joe drove up to spend Christmas Day with us.  This picture is all I have to prove it!
Image
 I was cleaning up the kitchen and Emma asked if she could help!  She dried some bowls and helped me load the dishwasher.
Image
 This is The Team Slye Band.  Cooper got drums, Emma got a guitar.  Now they have started a band!
Image
 Papa Joe finally showed Emma the correct way to hold the guitar!
Image
 Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Christmas Eve

Cooper and Emma went shopping with Daddy and he bought them Santa hats.  Emma kept saying "Yo Ho Ho!"
Image
 Sprinkling the reindeer food!
Image

Image
 Ready to open one present.  Yo Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!

The Grainger Christmas

Christmas at Nana and Papa Joe's house was just not the same this year!  Mark and Ashley had to take baby Whitley to the doctor and she ended up at Children's Hospital to have surgery for pyloric stenosis.  Her surgery was a success and she came home from the hospital on Christmas Eve morning just in time to celebrate her Mommy and big brother's birthday!  Anyway, Aunt Ashley made Emma's shirt and tutu and it was precious!  Emma loved it and looked so cute in it.

 Emma was so excited when she opened this Rapunzel toy!
Image
 A good picture of me and Mom if I do say so myself!
Image
 Nana and Papa Joe got all the kids an Innotab.  This was a very big hit with all three of them.  They were running around and screaming all day long and as soon as they got these presents they were completely silent!
Image

Image

Image
 Then Friday we stopped at my Grandmother's house on our way back up to Huntsville.  Here's all the great-grandkids.

Pleasant Grove Christmas

We drove down to Birmingham Wednesday to have Christmas with the rest of the Grandparents.  First stop was Pleasant Grove at MawMaw and PawPaw's house.
Image

Image
 They gave Emma a Snow White costume.
Image
 And Cooper got a Bumble Bee costume.
Image

Image
 Then we drove down the street to Nonnie's house.  Cooper and Emma drove the jeep!
Image

Image
 Cooper got a haircut after we left MawMaw's house.  Can you tell?!
Image
 I always like to take their picture on the front steps at Nonnie's house.
Image
 Uncle Jason, Aunt Jennifer, Ella and Lucy came over and we opened presents!  Emma loved the princesses!
Image
 Cooper got a bunch of Thundercats stuff from Nonnie and Don.
Image

Image
 Emma's first Barbie doll.

A Slye Christmas!

All the Slye's came to our house last weekend to celebrate Christmas!
Image
 The guys stayed outside most of the time.  The weather has been so warm!
Image
 Cooper has held Lucy more times than me and Michael combined!
Image

Image
 Finally time to open presents!  Cooper was so excited.
