Christmas with the Bell Family

We've had a wonderful Christmas!  Our family began celebrating on December 22nd at my Mama B and Daddy Dentons's house.  There were 36 of us in attendance, only missing cousin Lindsey who now resides in Australia.  Thanks to technology, we "skyped" her, and were all able to wish her a Merry Christmas, which was really neat!

Here are a few memories from the day...

Last year, we were awaiting the arrival of these sweet boys, Baby Cole and Baby Rowan.  They are absolutely precious!  And so is their big sister, Jordyn. 

Luke, Julie Anne, Dad, and Russ

Cousins!

Emmitt and Jenna Kate

Waiting patiently for gifts!

Still waiting for gifts... If only the adults would stop eating!! :)

Emmitt got a new hat...

Check out Maddie's new costume! 

Isn't she pretty?!

Nolan fit perfectly in the gift bag... it was so funny!

 

Talking to Lindsey in Australia... it was 3:00 PM on 12/22 here in Tennessee, and 8:00 AM on 12/23 in Australia.  Crazy.

All 14 children with the proud Mama B and Daddy Denton!!

We left Mama B and Daddy Denton's and went to my Dad and Anita's house to celebrate Christmas with them.  We received many nice things, and are thankful for all they did for us.

Lawson and Emmitt each received a microphone and speaker... singing on the fire place is FUN when you have a real microphone!!  :)  I'm sure our neighbors are even enjoying the concerts!

They both received a basketball jersey and matching shorts.  By all means, L stripped down and put his on immediately.

And that's one family celebration in the books... three more to come! :)  Happy New Year!
