The Batias: Christmas and Such (a few months later!)

November and December were a blur...between Thanksgiving, Campbell's birthday and the Christmas holiday, we squeezed in a lot of family adventures and fun! Of course I have waited way too long to blog all the little details do I what I can to blog via pictures. I know that is what everyone wants to se anyways! So get ready...cause there are a ton of pictures in this posting...seriously, you might want to grab a cup of coffee and a snack!

Our little Camp-Camp picking a flower for his mommy! Such a sweet boy when he wants to be! :)

Charlie-Bear...sporting the adorable onesie from her Auntie Lyn!

Here we are having a delish dinner at Tibby's New Orleans Kitchen...one of our family's favorite eats! Campbell is digging in to his beignets and Charlie looks likes she's eying one for herself!

We had even more fun because Aunt Bec and Uncle Troy joined us.

Camp is wearing more powdered sugar than he ate!

Daddy and his big boy!

A random "just having fun" picture of the kiddos rolling down a "hill" at the park! Gotta love wearing shorts in December!

Sweet Charlotte...she's smiling more and more each day and it just melts my heart!

We got the opportunity to take the kids to Disney before Christmas to see the Osborne Family lights...a Batia family tradition!

Magic Game date night!

Here we all are celebrating Christmas with the Schwab side of the family! We started a new tradition this year and all the big "kids" and adults drew names and exchanged gifts. It was so much fun and we all got really fun things like Duck Dynasty t-shirts! Campbell is helping Pop Pop open one of his gifts...it's always fun to help!

Sporting the new hats the boys got from Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Dick

Brooks just loves his big cousins...I really think he believes he's just a "grown up" as they are!

Here Mark and Richard are comparing bald spots! These two are too much!

Reece and Kristy...such a cute couple!

Chad and Dana striking a pose with Charlotte Jane!

Camp with his best buddy Caroline or "Taraline" as he likes to call her!

Sweet sisters!

The whole family together (minus Troy and Bec) We sure did miss them!

Fletcher getting a little Charlie love

Aunt Bec got her loves in on Christmas day...it was great to celebrate together here in Orlando too!

And on the actual Christmas holiday we celebrated with Mark's side of the family (plus Bec and Troy and my mom and dad!) Here GJ and Hank are opening their gifts.

My mom's expressions are priceless...and Rodney's is pretty cute too! :)

Gift exchanges are so much fun!

Brooks loved the Spider Man book that was all about HIS adventure with Spidey! Thanks GJ for the really cool book!

"Reading" all about Spider Man and Brooks Batia!

A tradition we started last year...the Grandkids' foot print art.

I hit the lottery this year too...Lulu Lemon gift cards! Woot!

It was so great to spend the holiday with Lyn and Rick...all that was missing was Tom!

Brooks, Campbell and Charlotte scored big this year too...they now are the proud owners of their very own bounce house! Thanks GJ, Hank, Uncle Rick, Aunt Lyn and Uncle Tom!!!!

Christmas kisses for baby sister...oh how I LOVE matching pjs!

Pretty stinkin cute...if I do say so myself!

Santa Claus was very good to these kiddos!

I just love taking the "before" pictures of the living room...with all the unwrapped loot from Santa!

THREE little stocking this year...oh my!

The boys were thrilled with their foam dart shotguns from Santa!

Hot dog! B got one too!

Maybe Charlie will get one next year too! :)

The boys LOVE their Spider Man sleeping bags from PopPop!

Opening MORE stuff!

Merry Christmas! It was an awesome holiday season with ALL of our family!

I just love our little family and all the fun memories we are making together!

And it was so amazing to have our sweet Charlotte Jane with us this year!

After Christmas we had a great time celebrating birthdays and just having fun! Brooks got to go to a really cool Circus School themed birthday party for his little friend Edy. He had a blast jumping, tumbling and swinging. We also celebrated Mark's birthday in early February too. It was a super simple impromptu surprised party in our backyard. Sometimes simpler is better! We are just so thankful for all of our sweet friends and family that could join us last minute to celebrate M!
