Holiday Parties 2 & 3

Yesterday we were off to the next two christmas parties.

Check out this pouty face...

First stop was Christmas with my other Grandma and my dad's side of hte family. She had dinner catered this year by Diane's Catering. It's a local woman that does catering out of her house. She has AWESOME food. She's catered some school luncheon's too and my belly is always very satisfied. Reagan and MawMaw Izzy. She got Reagan a Rescue Pack with card games in it and a stroller and new baby.

Reagan, Bailee, and Lani decide to get in some holiday coloring.

Next stop was the Trent's...Bill's family.
Reagan still hasn't gotten in to the whole tearing open presents. She is just pained by the whole messy process. She instead has to, first, make sure no one is watching and then gently tear small piece by small piece. She looks all around for some trash receptical or hands it to me. Hopefully, Christmas morning doesn't take three days because, thinking it would be fun, Santa wrapped EVERYTHING, and individually.

While all the other kids tore into their presents, here's Reagan's gentle unwrapping approach. We don't have OCD or anything ;)

Reagan held the newest addition to the Trent clan...Ricky. He's 3-months-old.

Here are the other set of girls...Audrey, Aubree, and Reagan. How confusing can that get?!
The Bennett boys decide they could join for a group pic. My nephew Josh is on the left and nephew Isaac is next to Reagan holding baby Ricky (reluctantly).

Also, I met my SIL Carrie's new friends, Tiffany and Abby, who joined us. They recently moved to the area, and know no one. Carrie befriended them. Tiffany is our age and seems really nice. She is deaf, so, boy, let me tell you how much I need to brush up on my signs!! I haven't really used them much, so I can sign on a toddler and preschool level. But, she's super helpful with reminding or teaching new signs.

We haven't established a Christmas Eve tradition yet. When i was little, we always went to my Grandma's. She has it early now (that's the one we went to yesterday). So, this year anyway, we are having MawMaw and Pappy up to eat and probably take Reagan to see the lights.

Stay tuned for Christmas morning. Maybe we should start early :)
