Early Christmas in Hot Springs

We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas a little early (as well as Bobba's birthday) last weekend with Lane's family!

Crosby's class made gingerbread houses at school on Friday, and he wanted to take his with us to show Grammy & Bobba.

We started the visit with eggnog and chocolate chip cookies-yum!

It was nice to just hang out Friday night and catch up with Lane's parents.

Saturday we opened gifts, which the kids were SO EXCITED about!  They got lots of fun things from their grandparents and Uncle Lance & Aunt Jennifer.

The Minecraft tools they'd been wanting!

They have such a pretty angel tree.

and I love the grandkids' tabletop photo tree

Saturday we went out for lunch and took a few group photos at HSCC.

(We missed seeing Luke--he still had another week at college before Christmas break.)

Thankful for this special family time!

It was chilly, but still really nice to sit on the deck and see the lake.  You can barely see them in this picture, but there were so many ducks out there that day.  Such a peaceful place.

Having fun sure is exhausting!  :)

Alexee loved her new soft Frozen blanket.

It was such a nice weekend!
