Christmas at the Vincent's!

Every year, we do Christmas a little different at mom and dad's. It's all according to who has to work when, and who has to be where when. This year, we did our Christmas on Christmas Eve-Eve. It actually worked out really well! We didn't have to rush to get to anyone elses house, or rush to cram in dinner and gifts before midnight! We had the whole afternoon to fix dinner, watch movies, open gifts, and just hang out! While the boys were at the SVJ dinner Thursday afternoon, Lincoln got to hang out with the girls!

Dramaw is pretty crazy about this kid. Can you tell? The feeling is mutual...

Lincoln always has a big time at Dram and Paps house. He is the boss!

Lincoln's gift from Uncle Nathan and Aunt Kristen. He wasn't so sure that this pony was friendly at first, but he quickly grew to love it and learned how to turn on the noises really quick! If you push one of the ears, the pony raises his head and whinnies. At one point, I was watching Lincoln and he would push that ear, the walk around and raise his head up and down to match the pony!!

See! He's gonna be a cowboy!

He had to help Pap pass out the presents.

Hey, what's in this box? Looks like something for Lincoln!

"Are all these for me?"

Lincoln got a new sled! Little did we know we'd actually get to use it this Christmas!

He also got a new fourwheeler (Dramaw and Pap are worse than Santa Claus!) Took him a little while to figure out that HE is the one driving it! He's used to us pushing him around!

On Christmas Eve, we always go to Mammaw and Pappaw Vincent's for Breakfast, then to Mammaw and Pappaw Douglas' for dinner. We have a couple of hours in between to fix more food, then we're off again! Lincoln is the only baby at the Vincent's, but he's the youngest of several at the Douglas'. Needless to say, I managed to get more pictures at the Vincents cause there was a little less commotion!

Lincoln received his first Pillow Pal from Aunt Cherman. Man, does he LOVE that thing! He packs it around everywhere!

This picture makes me laugh. I have no idea what the faces were for, but it's funny regardless!

I can't believe it, but this is the ONLY family picture we managed! SOOO unlike us! But everyone is looking and no one has their eyes closed... It's a miracle! And little baby boy #2 is obviously trying to make his appearance too!

So much fun, but it wore Lincoln out!

We loved waking up to a big snow Christmas morning! Mom and dad got probably 4 inches at their house, and it was gorgeous! Lincoln was really checking it out!

We had to venture out and try out the new sled.

Lincoln was loving it! He got some new gloves for Christmas, but our car was SO packed, there's no way we could have found them. So, we improvised and put dads hunting gloves on!

I know I've said it before, but it's worth noting again... Lincoln LOVES this cat. It seriously was one of his first words! (Ti-Ta) If that cat would sit still, he'd cuddle it all day!

And of course we had to have some snow cream for breakfast. I know one little baby who really loved it!

We do quite a bit of driving over Christmas, and I feel so lucky that we do. Means we have lots of family that we are close enough with to want to drive to visit them all! I wouldn't change a thing, unless it was to have more time with everyone! How blessed I am to have such a wonderful family...

Hope you all had a marvelous Christmas!
