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!

 I was cleaning up the kitchen and Emma asked if she could help!  She dried some bowls and helped me load the dishwasher.

 This is The Team Slye Band.  Cooper got drums, Emma got a guitar.  Now they have started a band!

 Papa Joe finally showed Emma the correct way to hold the guitar!

 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!"

 Sprinkling the reindeer food!

 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!

 A good picture of me and Mom if I do say so myself!

 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!

 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.

 They gave Emma a Snow White costume.

 And Cooper got a Bumble Bee costume.

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

 Cooper got a haircut after we left MawMaw's house.  Can you tell?!

 I always like to take their picture on the front steps at Nonnie's house.

 Uncle Jason, Aunt Jennifer, Ella and Lucy came over and we opened presents!  Emma loved the princesses!

 Cooper got a bunch of Thundercats stuff from Nonnie and Don.

 Emma's first Barbie doll.

A Slye Christmas!

All the Slye's came to our house last weekend to celebrate Christmas!

 The guys stayed outside most of the time.  The weather has been so warm!

 Cooper has held Lucy more times than me and Michael combined!

 Finally time to open presents!  Cooper was so excited.

 CiCi always has a stocking full of good stuff for the kids!
