Mc Fam Christmas

Last night, after all the Thanksgiving meals, no one wanted to cook anything for supper.  And none of the adults wanted to eat anything anyway!  But, these kids thought they were hungry...so they ate Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal for supper!

Today, our small version of the Mc family (my family, Travis' family, and Mom and Dad) spent the day together celebrating Christmas!

Mom and Sylvia finally made the cinnamon roll pie crust they've been wanting to try.  It was beautiful!

Though they'd originally thought they'd use that fancy crust for a pumpkin pie, Gram had spent about 8 hours cracking pecans she and Dad collected from the pecan groves near their home in Arizona last winter.  So, they made an absolutely incredible pecan pie!  It was heavenly!

The kids all finished decorating Gram's/Mamaw's tiny Christmas tree.

Wow, these kids love each other. 

Uncle Jeremy is a favorite pal when he is around...He is strong enough to fling little kids around in the air, makes funny faces, teases them...and they love it.  Bryce even likes to sit still and snuggle for a bit. 

We had such fun opening gifts!

Not a tuberculosis pie--Triple Berry--one of Mom's best!

Oh the meal Mom prepared!!  Roast pork, sauerkraut with apples, steamed broccoli, macaroni and cheese, homegrown corn , and those amazing pies!

This afternoon, the kids decided to make and decorate sugar cookies!

They even decorated them all by themselves, and they were really good.  There were only 3 left by bedtime tonight.

We just hung out all day, enjoyed the fact that all 12 of us were together, and it was wonderful...

In the midst of the cookie baking and decorating, there was some tv watching--a little football, a little Four Christmases, a little Santa Claus is Coming to Town--and a lot of snuggling, playing, chatting, and being happy.
