Christmas at the Carrolls

So as Christmas time rolls around this year, Mark and the girls and I get to enjoy 3 whole weeks off as our parish takes a longer winter break to accommodate testing.  It doesn't really matter to us why we do it, we just know we really enjoy it.  It does make us get out a little later, but we'll worry about that in May!  Here are some pics from the holiday festivities:

Emma opens the traditional Christmas eve present - shocking - Pokemon cards!

Katie and her new Coach wallet - another shocker since she picked it out!



Christmas morning, we all got some great things - even Lilo and Jovi - although Jovi's didn't fit her so well!






Emma's biggest wish this year was for a REAL bow and arrow.  She has enjoyed playing with it a little bit, but the rain has made it more difficult.




Making the traditional "Missy" dessert;  This year, no 3 foot  Southern Living cake, just some wreath chocolate cupcakes:


Everyone around the dinner table having gumbo and brisket:  Juju, Kim, Chad, Jason and Paw paw:


That's my girl:


This look from Emma will be a trend as you may see:





Our LSU purple and gold snowpeople, and Jovi looking for a place to ... well, you know:


Emma and chad - two peas in a pod:





Me and my angelic nephew:



Katie showing the grands how to play with the new WiiU:


And it wouldn't be a Carroll gathering without some Just Dance (2015 edition of course)  - I love how in sync they are - and yes, that is my nephew Jason, the future doctor - nice moves, doc!



Jovi has had enough of this - and to all a good night!
