christmas merriment

While it was fabulous to be home for Christmas, it was equally fabulous that our current location allowed us to visit both our families...within driving distance. And so we went a merrying to Quita's house a bit before Christmas...

Mouse Trap! Board games are always a fun part of family gatherings, and Mouse Trap was a definite good time. (Ignore the hubby's look of pained boredom. He enjoyed it too! ;D)

Her favorite part - turning the crank!

3-D sidewalk chalk fun! That's right, 3-D sidewalk chalk; Mommy was impressed. And inspired by Curious George (still her 1st love), Ree had a fabulous time tracing everyone.

Next, it was off to 'dat good ol' Cajun country, cher!

Maria will never own a 4-wheeler.

Well, let me never say never.

This wee child of mind hopped right on Charlee's new pink 4-wheeler, scowled, gunned it, and never looked back! (Except when I stopped her for this picture!)

the Littles! :: Camille and Millie had lots to chat about :-)

Camille and Granny saying their hellos

Roasting marsh mellows with Nana! This is definitely her new favorite past time.

Who could blame her?

An extended stay in Louisiana sounds like a good excuse for a tattoo, right?! ;-) The hubby took advantage of the down time to finally get some new ink - a bday tattoo that I sketched. :-)

home sweet home at last :-) sweet girls settling down for the night
