For Christmas Eve we always hang with the Langley side at Pop's house.
The Langley Cousins- Zack (3), Jack (1), Caroline (1), Drew (3), and Jill (3). The newest addition, Katherine, was still "cooking" when this picture was taken.

Zack and his bouncy ball"The Making of Princess Papa John"- by Jill (in 8 easy steps)
Step 1- Convince him that purple is his color.
Step 2-Slowly slip the purple feather boa around his neck.
Step 3- Tell him the hat is not only fashionable, but protects his face from the sun.
Step 4- Even as he protests that the gloves just won't fit, be PERSISTANT!
Step 5-Pop some stitches if needed.
Step 6-Get the necklace over his head no matter how much he wriggles.
Step 7- Now that you have successfully placed the necklace, replace the hat.
Step 8- Sit back and admire your work.**************************************
After spending Christmas morning at Gran Marf and Papa John's, we headed over to Becky and Ray's house for lunch.
Nanu with all of her Great Grand Kids.
Rick and I got to eat at the adult table, in the dining room, while someone else manned the trio!
Opening their Smart Cycle
Sleeping Beauty
Rick's rendition of a princess
Drew and Jill jamming with Uncle Mark
We don't have a clue where Drew got his moves, but the boy knew what to do with a microphone. It must of been The Wiggles!
We barely got on the interstate before all three passed out on our way back to Gran Marf and Papa John's house.
All the McLure's gathered Christmas afternoon at GM and PJ's.

I get a kick out of Drew and his sleeping position.
I get a kick out of Milly's too. That is Rick's lap on the car ride home.
I receive pictures like this from Aunt Meg when she is keeping my kids :)
I'm not a fan of character themed clothing, but Aunt Meg bought Jill these pajamas and a doll on a Target run. Jill looks so proud. She loves ALL things princess.
