Christmas (Part 2) at Pop Pop's

We traveled to Port Barre on the 23rd to spend Christmas weekend with Pop Pop and the rest of our LA family. The tradition in Nick's family has always been to gather on Christmas eve for gumbo and we did just that. All of the brothers, sister-in-laws and cousins were there and we had a great time! We ate, drank and enjoyed every minute of our wonderful holiday with family. We had a blast watching all of the little ones play and dance and just have fun together. Then it was time for all of the kids to get ready for bed so that Santa could come. Santa found Kate in Port Barre and brought her a few fun things. Then we spent the rest of Christmas relaxing and taking it easy at Pop Pop's house. We hope all of you had a wonderful holiday as well! Merry Christmas from the Krewe de Speyrer!!

We tried to get a picture of the little ones before we opened presents...guess who wouldn't cooperate. This is Kate's "I'm pitching a fit and I am NOT going to do what you want me to do" right now. She slides on her stomach like she's sliding into first base. It's hard not to be a little amused (of course without letting her know) when she does it
