We decided to get together with Jarrod’s family the weekend before Christmas. We didn’t have plans and it’s always nice to get to spend time in one place instead of rushing from one place to the next on Christmas day and not really getting to spend time at one place for long! I’m grateful that Jarrod’s parents are so understanding and would rather have the quality time with us than have us there on “Christmas”. We went to Searcy and stayed the night Friday evening. Terry and Margie had a Christmas party to go to so we didn’t get in any hurry to get there, and then my mom called and asked if we wanted to meet them for dinner at the restaurant in Hickory Ridge. They were having dinner with all the farm employees and my grandpa and wanted us to join them. So we stopped there on our way to Searcy and ate supper. Saturday we didn’t do much of anything, just relaxed and then a little after lunch Jennifer, Daniel and Archer came over and the kids had lots of time to play! We opened presents, then Uncle G and Memaw came over for an early dinner. We had a great time, the kids are such a fun age to watch. Arden just thinks she’s as big as the boys, and she holds her own pretty good! She loves “her Archer”
CrAzY Kiddos!!
We tried and tried to get them to smile and stay still in front of the tree. Literally impossible. They were breaking out into a dance here. This was after presents. In the future we will make them do it before presents and use the presents as a bribe! Lesson learned!! Obviously, Stratton was at Nan’s house. Otherwise he wouldn’t have on shorts!! That boy drives me crazy! He always wants to wear shorts! He would wear them outside in freezing cold if I would let him!
Arden “helped” Memaw open her presents

Silly boy!
Jarrod and Daniel enthralled in conversation.
The Best picture I got of the three of them- they were acting like dogs. Go figure?
Did I mention they were crazy??!
