Christmas with the Paynes

My Mom, Dad & Papa came up and spent the day with us during the Christmas holidays.  It was so much fun to have them here and of course the kids put them to work with Games and puzzles!!!

We had gotten a pretty serious puzzle for Christmas and who better than to help put it together??  Papa!!!

Even Matthew got in on helping with it.

The girls spent a good bit of time with Papa and here's the finished product

Warren Christmas

(This is out of order - we actually did this about a week prior to Christmas)
Due to Christmas Day being on Sunday and our having a Christmas Eve and Christmas Day service, we had to stay put this year.  So we were able to take a quick trip to Chattanooga prior to the holidays and have Christmas with Grumps & Gigi.  Of course Gigi had it all beautifully decorated for the holidays so we got some good tree pictures!

Christmas Afternoon

Since Christmas fell on a Sunday, we had a brunch and Christmas service that morning.  We had a pretty good turnout for attendance and a wonderful time of celebrating Christ's birth with our church family.

This is my traditional Christmas breakfast and we got to share it with the church this year!

Julianna got a great game called Headbanz, so we had a fun time playing.

Julianna was ketchup and had to ask questions to the rest of us to figure out what she was.

Rebecca and I together (we couldn't see how the picture turned out or we would have seen our own cards!)

The girls working on Julianna's potholder maker together

Even Dad was making a potholder!

Julianna was very proud of her new pot holders and I'm sure this will keep her very busy!
