A Very Alvin Christmas

We started a new tradition 3 years ago of going to Alvin the weekend before Christmas. That year was our first holiday season after we moved from Alvin. We wanted to go back to visit our Alvin family. Aimee and I had big plans that year to have a last girls weekend before her second son would be born a few weeks later. Well, it just so happened that the afternoon before we planned to go she called and said she was in labor. This year we celebrated Grayson's 2nd birthday while we were there!


As soon as we arrived to John and Bibby's we had dinner and the kids wanted to open their presents. They wouldn't even wait long enough for me to go get my camera so I had to snap pics on my phone.

They each got an outfit, a pair of pajamas and a toy. Sadie got a Barbie princess and Elijah got the Guess Who game.

The next day we spent the whole day at the Scogin house. We had a great dinner then let the kids open their gifts.

First we tried to get a picture. They were not cooperative...shocker.

Grant 3, Elijah 5, Grayson 2, Sadie 2.

Grayson went AWOL...

Elijah got a new movie...

Sadie got a princess puzzle...

Grant got a new helmet (he doesn't know he's getting a bike for Christmas)...

Ha! At least it fits!

Grayson needed a little help opening his gift.

It was a cute box filled with all sort of goodies like blocks, puzzles and so on. There are no pics of it because as soon it was opened we had to start refereeing the kids who were all fighting over the different toys inside.

Sadie wasn't fighting. Where was she? Playing with her puzzle...she LOVES it!

While we were there we also were able to go eat our favorite Indian food with our friends, the Welches!

Merry Christmas!
