We celebrated Christmas this past weekend with the Burleson side of the family. We were thrilled that my grandma, Memaw, could come stay for the weekend. She loved seeing seven of her great grandchildren. It was a busy house with seven little ones but full of fun and noise. We had a wonderful time celebrating this Christmas. I always say I love family time and I do. It is great when the whole group of us can get together!
The big kids were playing the "Wrap up like a burrioto" game they play. Usually they take turns wrapping up but since they all layed down at once we took the opportunity to pile on the babies knowing it was probably our one chance to get them all together!
Joshua gave my parents a lottery ticket for Christmas! Mom and Dad went over to scratch the ticket, started looking very serious, and really LOOKING at the ticket. THEY WON $5000 big ones! ....And then they realized that it was a fake ticket. It was so funny! It was one of my favorite moments. No worries because they will get Josh back when he is least expecting it.
PRESENT TIME.....
Both Macie and Blair got the new Little People Princess Castle. All the cousins liked playing with them.
This is the look Zack gets quite often from my mom because he is always saying something he shouldn't! ALWAYS
SUMMER TIME..
Macie seemed to think so. She begged to wear her swimsuit outside but I made her put her dress back over it. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon so after nap time, all the kids played with the boys' presents. It was a sporting event in the backyard. The kids played basketball, golf, and baseball.
After bathtime Macie put her pjs on and climbed up in Nonnie's lap and then I noticed they had matching pjs. How fun is that!
Weston liked cuddling with his Pappy! Weston's favorite things seem to be balls and toothbrushes/toothpaste. So we are either going to have a favorite sports player or a dentist when he grows up....or just really clean teeth. Weston will take my hand, lead me to the bathroom, and sit on the step stool so I can brush his teeth. It is so funny. He has sort of chewed or sunks on toothbrushes for a while because I think it feels good on his gums.
Pappy and Nonnie (and Memaw) were extra sweet because they watched the kids while we went to a Randy Rodgers' concert. The babies were down for the night and the big kids slept on a pallet in Nonnie and Pappy's room. They had a slumber party. We all had a great time going to Billy Bobs. We had some good laughs and enjoyed spending time together. We haven't all gotten to do that in a long time (we think the last time was when Reagan was pregnant with Jackson??).
Memaw has promised the kids since they were about 2 that she would take them back to "CHUNKY" E Cheeses when she came back for a visit. She loved taking Macie and Blake when they were little. So we gathered up all the kids and went to the MAD HOUSE! The kids loved every minute.
Macie had a birthday celebration with her cousins before everyone had to head home. She loves these boys! Blake calls this set, "His Favorite Cousins" and when he said the pray each time he included them. Hopefully the younger three, Weston, Brandt, and Blair, will love playing together like these 4.
My BIG GIRL IS 4!!!!
CUPCAKES are always a hit.
