This Christmas started of the same as last year- with Jimmy crying about dressing up. It may have something to do with the dorky train sweater. It was the compromise I made in the store. It took 4 tries to get him to smile ( well sort of ) for a picture.
Take 2 and I'm still trying to get a smile.
Take 3 and by now the threats of no Christmas party / presents are coming his way. He still doesn't care.
Take 4- thanks to Jenevive for her assistance I finally have a pictures of the kids dressed up and "smiling". I'll take it!
With the summer we had, losing both Grandma Thornton and Aunt Lori only weeks apart from each other, we weren't real sure how the holiday would be. Grandpa decided to come up from Georgia after all. Here is a great picture of Grandpa with 16 of his 17 great grandchildren.
Both of the kids received a bike from Papa Thornton which they really needed for the summer. They were so excited!
Aunt Lori had a huge Madame Alexander doll collection which Uncle Tony wrapped and passed out to each one of the girls. It was a very emotional holiday.
Jimmy and Cody - best buddies.
