Christmas Pictures

If you know our family, you know that at Christmas time we bounce around to about 12 different places to see all of our family in this area. This is pictures from all of the get-togethers so that you can take the whirlwind tour with us. And one disclaimer: because Damon is still not smart enough to operate this site correctly and it takes too long to try and rearrange all of them once they've been uploaded to the page, all of the pictures are in reverse order of how they actually happened. But we know we have the smartest friends and family in the world, so you'll be okay!

All the kids on the Turner side finally got to exchange gifts on New Year's Eve!

Eden and Avery enjoyed Papa's collection of singing and dancing stuffed animals (and Terri and April enjoyed the girls!).

The annual Cookie Tree was a hit with all of the kids, and a few of the M&M's even made it past their mouths and onto the tree.

Making a cookie tree requires focus.

Cayden played his new Gator Golf at the Wests'.

Working our way through the presents.

Nana read to Avery...

...and she helped Papaw (and everyone else!) open gifts.

I can already tell you some of those things under the tree don't have a return policy, no matter how hard you may try at the Wal-Mart counter.

One of these things is not like the others.

Momma and Cayden

GG got her turn opening with Avery's help.

There's got to be more in here!

As soon as that box opens, you know Avery's grabbing whatever's inside!

Modeling Papaw's new hat

It's mine...all mine! Mwah ha ha!

Watching TV, trying to pretend those stockings aren't sitting there, because we can't open until everyone's here!

If a Christmas ornament slept with its rear end sticking up in the air, this is what it would look like.

Andi & Avery...I'm venturing that Avery hadn't gotten her morning coffee yet.

Hugging Papa's head

This is the end of Cayden's Wii Bowling release...excellent full-body extension!

Papa, Gammy, Avery, and the bug.

Usually the team work lasts about six seconds, then the squealing and fighting begins!

Just waiting patiently. Right...

Here I come!

Aaaaahhhhhhh!

And after she finished the cabinets, we put her to work washing the windows...

...while Cayden earned his Christmas dinner by snapping green beans.

No free rides around here!

Contrary to what the sticker might lead you to believe, you can't remove her batteries to turn her off. And she doesn't like it when you try.

Avery got a stroller and doll. Cayden enjoys setting land-speed records with it, and Avery's not old enough to know she's supposed to get mad at him for such things.

Avery loves to hug her doll, and Gammy loves to hug her Avery.

Helping Papa

Let's get this open!

Team effort on getting through Momma's stocking.

Cayden's face here says it all on how much he enjoys Sister's helping hands.

Avery welcoming her new bear

And Cayden got Curious George

Santa's cookies and milk will quickly become Avery's cookies and milk if she has anything to do with it.

We celebrated Jesus' birthday the night before we did our Christmas at our house.

Sitting on the sleigh at Vintage Township's Santa Land

Cayden loved getting to see Santa...

...Avery, on the other hand...

...might have enjoyed doing something else.

We hope you enjoy these pictures; we know there are quite a few. Thanks to all of our friends and family for a wonderful holiday, and there are still many of you that we wish we got to see more than we do. If you 'd like copies of any of these pictures(they're not the greatest quality for printing here) just give us a shout!
