We had a truly wonderful Christmas this year! We were able to celebrate with both families this year. We began our family time last week when we went to the Reeses to spend time and exchange gifts.

Cory and Ashley gave me a Bieber poster!!
Grandmama and Granddaddy....how cute!!
We went to Manning last Wednesday night and stayed there through the holidays. It was great because my brother, Quin, and his family were there with us, too. All in all, there were 10 of us sleeping at my house in Manning with two nights of 12 people when my nieces and nephews stayed over. I have 6 nieces and nephews ranging from ages 11 to 2....it was pretty wild when we were all together!!
Ryan went hunting on Thursday night and got his first deer....ever!! My stepdad was the only one with him and helped him get the deer loaded up to take to get processed. Then, he had to bloody Ryan up because it was his first deer. I have never been a real big fan of venison, but I better acquire a taste for it because we will be getting about 5 different cuts of meat from this deer!! Ryan was so proud!
Ryan in his hunting gear...notice the bloody streak on the side of his face
Ryan and my nephew, Acie. Acie is pretty much obsessed with blood for some reason, so he thought Ryan with the blood on his face was pretty much the coolest thing ever
Ryan and I after the hunt
Ryan had about 2 minutes to get cleaned up to go to my sisters to see my daddy and his wife, Kim, and celebrate Christmas with them. We had a great dinner together, were entertained by the kids and then opened some gifts. Dad and Kim gave us all hoodies, so we had to take some snapshots wearing our new gear.
Quin wears this hat every Christmas when he hands out gifts

Angie and Quin in their matching hoodies...Quin also got a neck warmer and new gloves, I guess because of his recent move to "the Windy City"
All of us sporting the new hoodies
Ryan, Angie and I had all done a P90X workout together Thursday morning and thought it would be funny to do some poses from our workout in our hoodies
I scare myself a little in this picture
The boys and me
Friday was Christmas Eve. My sister came over to my mom's house around 11 so we could spend some time and open our gifts to and from one another. My stepdad gave us IPads....awesome! I absolutely love it!!! I have already started reading books on it!
Admiring the new IPad
After some quality family time, we went over to my grandmother's to meet the whole family for dinner. It was great being with everyone. My granddad has lung cancer and was struggling at times, but it was an incredibly sweet time of us all being together for the holiday.

Mae Harmon got this dog as a gift. She actually tore up some styrofoam into little pieces and was trying to feed the dog...I got so cracked up!
The kids doing a funny picture
Elizabeth's new hat she got from Eadie...haha...this picture makes me laugh!!
Christmas morning we woke up and Ryan and I exchanged gifts with each other and checked out presents from Santa :) Then, mom had the family over for Christmas brunch. We ended up spending the day just hanging out, resting and watching old movies....it was great!
Ryan and Mae playing...I think this picture is so cute
Mama and Mae
Sweet little Mae with her aunt "B" (that's what my nieces and nephews call me)
I hope you all had a great Christmas! I am sad that it is over and I have to take down all my decorations. I am keeping them up and enjoying them for just one more week because I love them so much!!
