Hughes News: Hughes Christmas

So January 7 is a bit late to post about Christmas, but we've all been sick sick sick around here! If Christmas decorations are still up in our house, it's still technically the Christmas season, right!? :)

We spent the week before Christmas and Christmas Day with Ryan's family this year.

What's Gavin's favorite thing about staying at Gram and Papaw's (other than the tractor, of course)? Candy! He was attempting to climb on the box to get to it:

All week we had fun with family, but there are just too many pictures to post. I will try to post some on facebook, though.

Here's my favorite of us:

When we went to the mall to see Santa, Gavin got to ride on one of these things for the very first time. He loved it and danced the whole time!

And on to the main event...Christmas morning!!

Gavin giving his sister kisses (with banana on his lips, I'm sure) first thing when he came downstairs.

His proud reaction after we all said, "Aww how sweet!"

This boy became a pro at opening presents this year and wanted to help everybody!

My mom always gave us an ornament every year growing up, so now our tree is full of my memories. I love it! So I wanted to start the same tradition for my kids. Gavin got a John Deere tractor ornament. He flipped out and wanted to play with it of course!

We also got him a kid-size guitar that he LOVES. This is him singing and playing. He closes his eyes with intensity when he sings. It's hilarious. If you didn't see the video of him playing it, go here to see it.

Aunt Amanda declared it a "PJ Day" and it was so fun!

This boy loves his Dad:

Snuggling with Aunt Amanda:

After we played in the snow, we finally got cleaned up for the day and took some family pictures. We dressed Gavin in his overalls because Papaw got a new pair for Christmas!

And pictures of the kiddos by the tree. Henley is actually screaming her head off here, but let's pretend she's smiling since Gavin is smiling so big...
