For Christmas, I got a new lens for my camera, so I have an obnoxious amount of photos from the Louis Christmas Extravaganza.
Our Christmas week started out with the arrival of the Whitesides on Monday, or as Henry calls them V.V (Evie), PimPee (M.P.- Mary Pat),and Roar (Ryan, duh, it sounds like Lion). They stayed the week with us and were great house guests.
Pre-Christmas Festivities
On Tuesday, the Herndon side of the family had lunch with Grandmother Herndon.

We met up at the high school to watch Jack (Tom's youngest bro) get schooled by his girlfriend in a soccer shoot out.
Wednesday night, we had a Christmas dinner with Tom's dad's side of the family.

We had to document their cute outfits

Before going to a Christmas Eve service, Mary Pat coordinated making cookies for Santa
MMM, they were delicious... Well, at least that's what Santa told me.
Tried to get a pic of Henry's Christmas outfit... he's pretty hard to photograph these days.

But before leaving, the cousins made a spectacular snowman.
Like my outfit???
We later gathered again to enjoy one last dinner together
The cousins performed the Christmas story
And we enjoyed each other's company one last time.
We missed the Charlotte Louises- Alex, Sam, Addie, Walter, Megan, and Baby Jackson!

You took so many great pictures! I love the first one of VV and Henry (although they will hate us one day for taking/keeping that one).
Great job on documenting the Leigh vs Jack shoot out!
I didn't have the picture of the grandkids after the Christmas Eve service - I'm definitely stealing that one and saving it on my computer : )
I love all the pictures! Especially the one of tom reading to henry - very sweet.
I cannot believe that y'all all spent the night together. Crazy fun!
And, that lawnmower that Henry got. I am sure he will LOVE it. Ours is hiding in our closet. (We don't love the noise quite as much as he does).
i've said it before, and i'll say it again, i want to go to a louis family function! you guys look like y'all have so much fun, especiallly now with all those adorable grandkids! oh and i loved henry's outfits! good job mom! his hair is getting so cute with the wave that it has, what a cutie says bekah! teehee, and i liked that pic of you wearing the red jacket!
