Christmas!

Christmas was WONDERFUL! We enjoyed spending time with both of our families which made it that much harder for us to leave. Our first stop for the break was Little Rock for the Turner Christmas! We arrived just in time for gifts and cake!! One of our yearly traditions is celebrating Jesus's birth with a birthday cake and singing. Most people may think thats a little strange but its one of my favorite traditions that we do. This was Mackenzie's first year to experience this tradition and we all had fun sharing it with her!
One of the most recent traditions that Mallory and my cousin Molly Anne do with david and Matt are Kiss faces! Each holiday gathering they take a kiss face picture! As you can see- Matt has gotten pretty good at it!

After the Turner Christmas we made our way down to Arkadelphia. We had such a warm welcoming committee at Matts Parents house:
Christmas Eve day we had the Ford Christmas. We started off with lunch and scavenger hunt at Sugar and Docs followed with deserts, white elephant, and christmas gifts at Rita and Richards. Here is Matt and me with some of our gifts from the day
And the beloved Doc and Sugar
Christmas eve, we joined the Hardman clan in the candle light service at church then shared a wonderful christmas dinner! It was such a good meal and we enjoyed having more of our extended family (The Dewitts) with us! Christmas morning was so much fun, mainly becuase we got to share Mackenzies first Christmas with her! She was so much fun to watch! She just LOVED her new pink carhart jacket that Matt and I got her
Here is a snap shot of the whole Hardman/Turner/Hogue/Cooley clan at the candle light service
Erin, David, and baby Mac left around noon for their big Ski Trip and we headed over for the Cooley Family Christmas. It was a lot of fun but VERY different this year because Melissa and Brandon were unable to share the holiday with us. They were GREATLY missed!
The rest of our visit home was spent on the four wheelers, on the shooting range, playing the Wii, Playing dominos, watching football, and in a concealed handgun class! Here are some more pictures from our break!

And here is a few clips of Cheeto checking out Matts new toy Granmolly got him. You can see that he isnt really sure about it!!

We have much more to share with you all but we will save it for another blog later in the week because we are both exhausted!!!
