Arkansas Christmas

We were very fortunate to spend a few days in Little Rock with Julia's family for Christmas. It is always great to see all of the family there. When we say ALL the family we really mean it, cause there are a lot of 'em!

Maya was still a bit confused when opening presents. The look on her face said, "why is there all this paper around my elmo"? She's 18 months here, next year she will be 2 1/2 and telling us what she wants from Santa
(that should be interesting).

Josh helped Papaw and Julia's dad put together a porch swing in the garage. OH, Just thought of a joke...
How many Razorbacks does it take to put a swing together... ?

It was too rainy to put the new swing on the patio, but that didnt stop Julia, Maya, and Mamaw from swingin' in the garage that afternoon. It is really neat to see 4 generations of Julia's family laughing, talking and enjoying each other's company.

Julia's mom brought a box full of shakers, drums, and tambourines along with a new shiny tutu for Maya. She loves them and will probably play drums in a rock and roll band someday. Not that stupid *rock band* game the kids are playing these days. A REAL rock band that plays way too loud in our basement and irritates the neighbors, the way it should be.
While the band practiced, Josh took a nap in his new Pittsburgh Steeler's throwback jersey (thanks Julia)
