Christmas 2011 seems like it was just a whirl-wind! haha
We were so busy this christmas season and pre-occupied with other things, but it honestly
turned out to be such a awesome Christmas!
It was the first time sharing this Christmas season/Traditions with my new Family(McClendons), and also Kris got to experience the Townsend's Traditions also!
Sooo.. lets gett started. haha
Townsend tradition is to open all presents except 1 on Christmas Eve. Then on Christmas Day, we open our 1 present, Santa's Gift, and our Stocking! Which it really works out
perfect because Kris's family does it the opposite way.
So we headed over to my parents house on Christmas Eve, and of course we had to bring our little guy.
Kris went ahead and let him swim in my parents pool for the first time. haha he did great.
Andrew was ready to get in and go swimming with "cute puppie". So he stripped down!
Cutie Tatum. They are best friends~
So Cody and Ty rocked it this year and by far won for the Best Outfits for Christmas.
Look at them. OwOw!
We had a yummy dinner.
The kiddos.
So every year we all so what is called Polar Dip.
We all jump in my parents pool. On Christmas eve. Yes. that is crazy.
haha this year Cody sported a HOTTTT outfit! hahaha
it ended up bein only my brother Cody, my dad, and my brother in law Kris.
We made ReAl snow! okay it was actually a pouch that was powder and then you add water and it turns into this cold an wet.. just like snow!
Ally loved it.
We then had a Gingerbread Contest! Last year i won. So i knew we had to step it up.
Our pride and jewel! haha
My snowman and Santa on the roof! Yes we cheated.

It was hilarious.

Wow, I can really see how big Diesel is in those pics, especially the one where he's laying next to your niece. He's going to be a big boy! Can't wait to meet him :)
ReplyDeletePS, I'm pretty sure Kyle has the same exact pajama pants as Kris is wearing in your X-mas pictures. Yay PJ buddies ;)
