Babies' First Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas week. Yes, I did say week. We started in Sallisaw at Grandmother and Grandaddy's house on Saturday the 20th. I had Grandaddy and Daddy both mixed up pretty badly since we started celebrating so early. They couldn't figure out why the Christmas music kept playing on the radio.

Our second Christmas was with the Woods family on Sunday the 21st. There were 28 people there with 8 under 6 years old. It was lots of fun! It was the first day many members of our family had met Rider and Josie. We were ready to show them off. Here is just a taste of the action.

It was also their 2 month birthday that day, and we didn't take ANY pictures of just the two of them, so I am posting the only one I have of that day. That is Grandaddy holding Rider and my first cousin Mark James holding Josie in the background.

We stayed in Sallisaw until Christmas Eve, and then went to Owasso. We started our own Christmas tradition there, where Santa had already visited Rider and Josie while we were gone. We MUST have just missed him! My first cousin Rhonda James bought them these cute Christmas onesies.

We traveled to the Bewley Christmas in Chandler on Christmas Day, where Rider and Josie met more of their great Aunts and Uncles as well as some second and third cousins! I relied on my Aunt Jeannetta and my Memaw and Pepaw Bewley to take pictures with their camera. This is Memaw and Pepaw Bewley with the great grandkids, from left Wyatt Bledsoe, Colton Stone, Braden Stone, Rider and Josie, and Jaybre Stone.

We then headed to Mia and Grampa Dave's house for Christmas night fellowship, dinner and gift opening. Luke and Claire were so helpful in opening Rider and Josie's presents. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the time with our family. It was a little bit crazy there as well, so my pictures are all action shots. The Christmas outfit that Mia bought for Josie fit her perfectly for Christmas Day. She was excited to match her cousin Claire on such a special day.

We stayed in Stillwater until Mia and Grampa Dave left for San Diego. We spent Saturday the 27th with Aunt Lisa, Uncle Steve, Luke, Claire, Luke and Claire's Googie and Papa (Dan and Cindy Cummings) also came over to meet Rider and Josie and to help me while Daddy worked a hunt in Perry. I was able to take a bath AND eat lunch since I had so much help!
