Christmas with the Praytors

The week before our Christmas get together with Jay's family, we were at Target and Truett saw this outfit and just HAD to have it.  It's definitely a little on the cheesy side, but he was so excited about wearing a vest and tie, that we let him get it and he proudly wore it to the Praytors for Christmas.


 
 My sister-in-law, Stephanie
Jay's Christmas tradition - making his Nanny's Lemon Icebox Pie
 PaPaw's Christmas tradition - reading the story of Mary, Joseph and the birth of baby Jesus to the kids
After lunch and hearing about the true meaning of Christmas, we all exchanged gifts.  Emma got a Repunzel outfit, complete with heels and a wig, that was the EXACT color of her own hair.  




Uncle Jim, Aunt Stephie & Dakota gave Emma a baby doll and stroller.  She was so cute playing with her baby in her high heels, but decided that being a mom was hard work and would rather sit in the stroller than push it around!
 Truett and Emma made a Nativity Scene plate for Gramma using their hand and footprints.

Truett surprised Jay and me with this precious nativity scene that he made at school.  It's probably one of the sweetest things I've ever seen and just love it.  I can't wait to pull it out each year and display it at Christmas time.




After opening gifts and spending the afternoon with the family, Jay and I loaded up the kids in the car and began our drive to Louisiana to spend Christmas with my family.
