The Stennett Family Christmas

After leaving Tupelo on Christmas Eve, we headed to Rienzi to the Stennett Family Christmas at my Mike and Mammaw's house. We all had such a great time. I have such amazing childhood memories of Christmas Eve nights with my immediate family, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, and love that my boys now experience this tradition. They have a few more to play with than I did... there are 7 granchildren and there are 16 great grandchildren in our family now; 12 boys and 4 girls ranging from 3 months to 16 years old. Here are some pictures from the night:

Carter... he has not been around a Christmas tree that he did not love, or TOUCHED for that matter.

Will loves our "baby" Brylin. He always takes time out to go and play with him.
Will was giving his Aunt Sissy a very serious hug.


Carter with his big cousin, Brandon.

Grandmother and all 16 great grands... including one grand - I did my best to keep my boys in the picture without having to stay there. Love all of these beautiful kiddos :). We are very blessed to have such a precious and beautiful grandmother who loves us all so much!
Present time... Carter had to check out all of the bows. He loved them!!!
Some of my sweet cousins opening gifts. They all had such a ball and loved all of their presents from their sweet aunts and grandmother.
Carter opening one of his gifts.
Will opening one of his... daddy was there to assist him.
Cash checked out all of Will and Carter's toys. Notice ALL the paper in the background :).

Again... what a fun time we all had watching such excitement this night~

Annnnd, after the Stennett and Chittom Christmas gatherings, this is what we came home with for the night. We have some very loved little boys, who have had a ball with each and every toy. Thank you so much for all of the awesome gifts.

What a blessing it is to be a part of this special family! Thank you Mike and Mammaw for everything!
