Christmas Traditions

Avery Tradition

Every Christmas Eve we celebrate Christmas at Kristi's mom and dads. We have started the tradition of lunch or dinner of crab legs and then the presents begin. Grandpa and Grandma Lewis come over to celebrate with us as they live across the street.


This year Noah was big enought to figure out most of what was going on. Here is trying to con Grandpa Lewis out of his drink. You see he is offering his sippy cup as a trade.


Mom loves Christmas! It is by far her favorite holiday. You see here that Scott and Jen got them a digital picture frame for Christmas. That's right just when you thought pictures of the grandkids had taken over the house they have found another spot! : )


This is Scott and Jennifer. Scott is my younger brother and as you can see they are expecting a baby due to arrive in February. Scott is one of the beloved ones with Noah and Madision so we are all wondering what will happen when the new baby comes - can you say jealousy?


Stockings are one of the family's most anticipated gifts. Here Noah digs into his enjoying fun bath toys.


Noah has recently picked up talking on the phone. If you could only understand what he was saying ti would be better. Here he is making a business deal before he begins opening presents.


Madison waits for Grandmom to tell her when she can open her stocking.


We are big COLTS fans at our house and the kids get in on the fun too! As you can see Madison and Noah both enjoy a very Merry COLTS Christmas.





And one of the traditions we always looked forward to as kids and Noah and Madison do is the last gift. It's always the biggest. This year Madison got a new Strawberry Shortcake bike and Noah got a couch stocked with reading books.




We trust that 2007 will be a great blessing to you! Happy New Year!
