Christmas Adventures Part 6: An Evans Family Gathering

Clara was super duper happy when she saw we were pulling up to "Meatball's House"! 

Even more happy when she saw that Grandpa was there!

Wow. Just wow. Do they look like 2 peas in a pod or what? (mannerisms)

With Uncle Ronnie

Shiny bracelet!

 One of Clara's favorite things to do at Meatball's house is to raid the baskets of toys in the entry way. This time Grandpa joined her!

Lunch was delicious as always!! 

Snuggles with MeMaw

Refusing to eat

 So that the adults could get some kiddo-free conversation time we put Alexandra, Maddie and Ronnie in charge of Clara and Emma for a little while. They did really well with them!

Emma and Aunt Alexandra

 Clara showed everyone how to play peekaboo with Emma :)

Emma loves that game!

 Then Clara put Maddie to night night several times, haha; she was a great sport!

Love all of the adorable stockings!

Sweet girl

 Oh boy! Another gift for me!?

Sweet tiny two

 Ronnie built this A&M lamp for Bryan! Skills!

Somehow I forgot to take a picture of this nutcracker (Bryan collects them) from MeMaw. It's a computer nerd nutcracker. It couldn't possibly be more fitting.

Cool!! Thanks Aunt Lety, Uncle Roger & Maddie!

Paw, Grandpa and Celina watching the fun

What is this!? ohhh pretty bow. ohhh pretty puppy.

 Both Emma and Clara love Emma's new Little People School Bus! And Clara's new baby doll has joined the ranks here at home. She's already had several diaper changes and been fed Cheerios.

Thank you for baby doll! 

Hugs for Aunt Lety! 

Yummy purple bow - priorities, people

 I'm not sure what Clara is thinking in the below picture, but it absolutely cracks me up. I also love the way her eyes look here!

Thank you for the giraffe puzzle MeMaw!

 The doctor kit was a smashing success. It's a good thing new baby doll's heart is ok. "It no hurt, baby, it ok"

Checking Paw's ears out

Playing with Grandpa

Anything in there, Grandpa!?

Checking Baby Emma's heart and lungs and feet and elbows. All good to go.

"Stay still, Emma! I doctor."

Baby doll off to school

Emma wants a turn

 Poor Clara wanted that candy cane so badly, but Mommy insisted she HAD to eat her lunch first. Guess who finally ate her lunch around 3:30 for that candy cane? 

And she said it was "de-ye-tious!"

Grandpa and his granddaughters

Clara was a little absorbed with her candycane

:)

Waving and clapping for Paw and MeMaw:

Still enjoying her candy cane :)
