Hangin with the Howards: January 2014

Thanksgiving/Christmas with Granny Ruby

Every year we go to Granny Ruby's house for Thanksgiving/Christmas with Josh's dad side of the family. We always have so much fun. The family is getting bigger with all the little kiddos.

Here are some pictures..

Ryder was so into opening gifts. He wS tearing into them like crazy.

Here's the twins Tyler, Riley and cousin Sophie.. They loved all the paper! ;)

Sophie was so excited about every single one of her gifts. It was the sweetest thing listening to everything she had to say about them.

Aunt Elaine and Uncle Tim got Kenzie Mary Grace the American Girl doll. She was on cloud nine!

The kiddos got spoiled rotten!!!

Thanksgiving 2013

This year we went to my Grandma Topie's for Thanksgiving lunch on my mom's side and then on over to my Aunt Cindy's for dinner with my dad side. Steph and her crew got to join dad's side. Then it was BLACK SHOPPING time!! This is something we do every year! I love it! Josh and Blake watched the kiddos and well it didn't go so well!! Ha ha Here's onto some pictures which I don't think I have many!!!

My little family with my grandma Topie. Love this lady so much.

I love Cody Allen so much. Little cousin! He was hungover!! ;) ;)

Nana and two of her grand babies. Ryder wants no part of pictures clearly!

Steph and I!! Love her!!!

It's always fun climbing on Aunt Cindy's fireplace. The little ones were trying too!

Hello Midnight at the mall for Black Friday shopping!!! Love these girls.. I had an eye infection / dry eyes for a month and half and could only wear glasses! IT SUCKED!!!

I got to end the weekend cuddling these two!! It was a great Thanksgiving break!!

We are so thankful for our family!!

Double Digits for McKenzie

McKenzie Lynn turned 10 this year. Where in the world has the time gone. We celebrated with a Spa Party! The weather that weekend was AWFUL so all of the family didn't get to come! We missed Driver's!!! But we still had a great birthday celebration!! We let her have AC and Elle stay the night!

Mckenzie wanted a rainbow cake. So that's just what we made. We had so much fun making it!
