Christmas Vacation Fun in NWA

Sunday night my siblings from out west stopped by on their long road trip home. It was a pleasant last minute stop by that made my kids so happy.

As the kids were getting ready for bed, Aunt Sarah went to get Max dressed in his PJ's. Tanner walked over and  said "you know that's my sleeper right?"
Sarah started laughing because the PJ's weren't Tanners, but a matching set for Max. So obviously we had to get Tanner's PJ's out too so they could match.

These two boys are so cute. They have a special bond.

The next day we just hung out with everyone at our house- including Uncle David and Aunt Laura.
Around 5 pm, Uncle David and Aunt Laura left for Mountain Home and we took Aunt Sarah, Uncle Johnny and the kids out to explore Bentonville a little bit.

We grabbed dinner and then headed over to the square to see the Christmas lights.

How cute is this little sleigh, but the kids inside are even cuter!!

Max and Bailey driving a mini Sam Walton's truck.

After looking at the lights we went over to Spark Café for some ice cream.

Tucker enjoyed sharing his ice cream with everyone.

Then it was home to bed. The next morning these two cuties spent some quality time together.

Even made some beautiful music together

Then Aunt Sarah, Uncle Johnny and the kids packed up and left from Mtn. Home.

We will miss them, but we are going over to Mtn. Home on Christmas day.

 

We also got invited to the Fuhriman's for a gingerbread house making party.

It was so cute.

Here's Tanner working so hard on his gingerbread house.

These two were very proud of their creations.

 

Then on Wednesday we went over to the Lowdens for a Grinch party.

We watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and ate Grinch popcorn.

How cute are these kiddos?

Can you believe that all these kids belong to only three families. So many children. lol

All snuggled up on the couch watching their movie.

After the movie we played "Pin the Heart on the Grinch"

And then decorated Grinch sugar cookies.

It was so fun and the kids enjoyed seeing some old friends. Since our ward split we don't see these particular friends as much. So sad!

 

We also squeezed in a quick ride on the Minivan express.

These kids were very excited to find golden tickets on their pillows.

And Dad was the dutiful ticket puncher. So fun.

We drove around for about an hour looking at lights and singing Christmas Carols. I can't believe Christmas is only two days away. SO CRAZY!!!
