Christmas in Louisiana...finally! Part 1

Christmas in Louisiana! We had a marvelous time with Grammy and Grandpa Smith and of course Aunt Dara too!  It was so much fun to get to spend about two weeks with everyone and especially to share Christmas with them.  Even though Stephen is one of nine kids in his family we were the only one who made it to Christmas this year with kids so our kids got a ton of attention and got super spoiled!  I loved that Katie and Annie got time with Grammy and Grandpa it was a great and memorable Christmas! I guess I will let the pictures speak for themselves (there are a ton)! This post will cover up to Christmas Eve. By the time Christmas rolled around there were a lot more of us: Grammy and Grandpa, Amy and Landon, Kim and Landon, Trisha, Dara and obviously Stephen, me, Katie and Annie!  We had a blast! The pictures uploaded funny so they are out of order but oh well here they are anyway.
