Mississippi Christmas 2015

We celebrated Christmas in Mississippi this year on the Monday after Christmas. Typically we choose the 26th or the Saturday after but this year Austin's work schedule just didn't allow for that. We went up Monday morning. The weather was nasty and rainy. We got to Hattiesburg around 11:30. Shortly after Wendi, Shelbi, and Maggie arrived. The kids ofcourse went straight to playing. They even were able to ride their bikes up and down their long driveway. I was glad the rain stopped and they were actually able to get outside a little. They couldn't play out back though b/c it was so wet and muddy.
We all ate lunch around 1. I was glad the kids were able to wait that long. It seemed like everyone enjoyed the lunch. After lunch we played this game called KaHoot. It was really cute. We played Disney Trivia which was fun. The kids played more but got antsy so we let them open up their presents. This Christmas was very different as far as traditions go. His other sister and her husband couldn't make it. And with it being on a Monday Harvey was at work. Lindsay got some My Little Pony things, a dress for her doll, a puzzle a few other small things. Colby got a couple Lego sets, a book, and a few other small toys. After the presents the kids wanted some down time to watch the movie Cinderella. We turned that on and the girls def enjoyed that. Colby got bored so he and Austin went to shoot bb guns. I think we all got relaxed during the movie. By the time it ended  Harvey had gotten there after work. Shortly after we exchanged a few more presents then played a white elephant game. The kids were ready for dinner so they ate a quick bite. Austin and I wanted to wait. We ended up stopping at Ward's on our way back to the apartment. We let the kids stay up and play for a bit before heading them off to bed. It was a pretty busy day so we were all tired. 
Tuesday we got up and went to his parents for breakfast and to tell everyone bye. We stayed about an hour. The kids ofcourse enjoyed more cousin time. The drive home was nice. We had a busy day back at home taking down all our decorations. I cannot believe the Christmas season is over!
