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!
