To Grandmothers' House(s) We Go!

We spent the week after Christmas visiting family in Mississippi, and our first stop was in Magee with Sam's family. The boys had a great time with Mim and Pop.

We were so very excited that Olivia and Mark were able to spend some time with us too. Mac loves playing with Aunt Olivia. In this pic Olivia is lovingly singing all of Mac's favorite Christmas songs with him...only problem is, she can't remember the words! haha

Opening some more fun gifts
Big boy Drew hanging out. Here's a good spot for me to mention that on Wednesday we met our "Monticello Families" for lunch and then headed up to Jackson to see my family (oh, and we snuck in a little wedding dress shopping for Lia in Brookhaven :))

CeCe and PePaw with their sweet brood of little youngins
I probably don't have to tell you, but it is a wild, crazy, great time when these cousins get together. They truly love each other so much. Man, do I ever miss those Hill kiddos!
(from L to R is Parker, Drew, Ramsey, Mac, and Ellie)

We continued the long-standing Christmas tradition of wearing Christmas pjs. We took a whole group picture, but, sadly, they were on Jessica's camera and I didn't get a copy before we left. I will be adding it to the blog whenever I get it :)

The Taylor Crew
My grandparents, aunt, uncles and cousins also made a trip up to Jackson for us to celebrate Christmas together. And we even got a group picture of all of us, but like the above problem, those are on Aunt Cheryl's camera. So, it'll follow later as well. I was just so grateful that everyone in our families was willing to work around our schedule and trip into town. Christmas just isn't Christmas without family! The week flew by much, much too quickly, and we reluctantly departed back for Missouri. The real fun began when we returned and I had to find a place in our already way too crowded trailer for all of our new stuff! And, yes, we are anxiously awaiting the answered prayer of a sold house in MS so we can transition to a house with a little more space!
