Christmas with the Small family

We celebrate Christmas with Darrell’s side of the family the weekend before Christmas. He has all brothers so this allows the girls to be with their side of the family on either Christmas Eve or Christmas. It’s just so hard to bounce around from house to house all day long on Christmas so this was the comprise that we all came up with and it works out GREAT! Each year we rotate on which one of us will host the celebration. We had last year so the youngest brother Derrick and his wife Monica hosted us this year. Thank you guys for opening up your home to us. We had a great time.

My niece Madison only wanted the Dora pajamas that we bought her. She didn’t care about any of the toys that she opened.

For those of you who don’t know……DJ’s favorite basketball player is LeBron James for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was so excited to this throwback jersey.

This summer we went to Blue Ridge for vacation and my mother in law did not take any pictures. So, I decided that I would do an album for her of the vacation. Can you believe that she asked me for a copy of the pictures right before she opened this gift? Ha!

My brother in law swore that we took his Target sales add and saw that he had this circled. SHHHH! Valerie told us what you had in there.

Lauryn’s big surprise from her Uncle Michael and Aunt Valerie. I hope you guys purchased full coverage insurance.

My nephew Derrick loves skateboarding so this Tony Hawk game for the Wii was a major hit.

Just in case you are wondering…..I am always the one behind the camera so I usually don’t get a chance to be in the pictures. I am in the process of teaching DJ how to use the camera. He is catching on very well.
