Christmas in Missouri



We spent Christmas at my parent's house in Missouri this year.  Just a few weeks before our trip we found out that my brother (who wasn't going to be able to join us) was going to be able to make it for a couple days with his daughter, Sophie.  It was perfect - the whole family, together!  Rex was in absolute heaven having about 10 different playmates at his fingertips.   

We started off the festivities on Sunday night with dinner at my sister's house.  We also got to Skype with my nephew who is on his mission in the Philippines. 




On Christmas Eve, the kids serenaded us with songs, skits and instrumental performances.


We held up a little mistletoe and let Rex give all kinds of kisses.  


We always read the Christmas story right before bed with all the grandkids on Grandpa's lap


Christmas morning was chaotic, crazy and SO much fun.  In case you were wondering...Rex got those beyblades he was wanting.  Santa is a pretty cool guy!




This is what a beyblade battle looks like
