To Grandma's house we go....

Merry Christmas!!!!

We are off to Grandma's house today!

Christmas Eve at Grandma Ragan's house is always fun! We always have Mexican food for dinner. Homemade rice, beef & chicken enchiladas, beans, tamales & deserts. The tree is always overflowing with presents. And when the kids start digging into the presents....boy o' boy....there is always a sea of wrapping paper. The kiddos are lucky they don't get lost in it.

Presley and I headed over early to work on our gingerbread house and help mom out with a few things. The rest of my gang headed over later.

1st we started on the gingerbread house. It was a Martha Stewart house. So it was super pretty with all the candy and stuff. I piped all the frosting and Nate & Presley did the decorating. They had fun doing that. Nate was swiping the candy and eating it as they were decorating.

TA DA....so pretty!!!!

Then it was time to decorate gingerbread men.

Yum!!!! Can't wait till we can tear into that house!

Can you tell that Nate likes gobs of icing!

We just kinda goofed off till everyone got to my mom's house for Christmas dinner and present time!

Family starts pouring in.

After Grandma's house, we headed home and let the girls play with a few of their new gifts.

Piper loves her Sit & Spin. They play MUSIC now!

And Presley loves her new styling doll head.

The girls were suppose to get the reindeer's carrots ready for them...but then they started eating them.

John and I stayed up till about 3 am plaing Santa. It was fun.....but geeze, they could have made it much easier to put those Big Wheels together.
