We've had a very Merry Christmas with family in Oklahoma this year! The 16-hour drive south was smooth and relatively easy, and we have spent our days relaxing with the Paynes.
Jessica, Sean, and Phoebe came over on Christmas Eve for round one of Christmas celebrations. The evening was complete with good food, cookies, cousin silliness, uncle wrestling, presents, and the joy of being together.

Surely Ryan's new Yeti cup is big enough to hold the amount of coffee he likes to drink!
Christmas Eve pajama shenanigans!
Christmas morning began with stockings, a full breakfast, and then time spent reading and reflecting on God's gift of love in the coming of Christ.
I found some Christmas poppers at the last minute, which meant everyone had a festive hat to wear for breakfast! The tradition continues. =)
There was plenty of time on Christmas day to read new books, build new lego sets, and paint new tea sets!
The beautiful weather demanded a Christmas Day walk!
As if the girls had not been sufficiently lavished with new things already, we spotted this play house on the curb during our walk. Deborah knocked on the door and spoke with the grandma in the home who said it was for the taking . . . so we took it home to add to Grammy Deb and G-Daddy's toy collection for their grandchildren!
Merry Christmas from the Paynes!!
