Sutton's First Christmas { Part 3 - Christmas Afternoon }

Mid-afternoon on Christmas Day, we headed over to Adam's parents for snacks and gifts with his side. Most people have a hard time keeping all of Adam's family straight, so I'll give you a little cheat sheet to keep track. :)

Parents - Ed & Janet
Sister - Jessica; Steve the hubby; Corbin, Aubrynn, Breegan, the kiddos.
Brother - Matt; daughter Bailey.
Half-brother - Craig (who wasn't here because he lives in Washington, but he just had a baby boy, Liam on December 21!); daughter Madeline who was able to come (hooray!).
Half-sister - Chrystal (she and her hubby and three kids live in Ohio and couldn't come).
Half-sister - Shelly (she and her three boys live in Alabama and weren't able to come).

Got it? Good.

Aubrynn and Corbin love their new cousin Sutton.

Aubrynn and Breegan passing out presents.

Adam loves to give Bailey a hard time, so that's most likely what was happening here.

Madeline brought her boyfriend Seth so we could all meet him. He couldn't remember everyone's names by the end of the night, but other than that he seemed to fit in great!

Breegan got some Caillou movies, and I figure we'll be watching a lot of Caillou in the near future.

Sutton keeping a close eye on Breegan. He's not too fond of her right now, probably because she's so loud and always wants to pet him, but we're convinced they'll be best buds when they get older.


Corbin got Harry Potter legos!

Adam helped Sutton open all his gifts, and he got totally spoiled. This box had some cute cute clothes.

A (plastic toy) cake with lights and music.

Every little boy needs a toolbox. Preferably with plastic tools that can be chewed on.



Don't get confused, because this lovely lady wasn't on your cheat sheet. This is Adam's cousin Kerri who lives in the sunroom at Ed & Janet's house. She stopped by the living room when she got home, and Janet gave her this "lovely" necklace, which is an inside joke.

Madeline got to finally meet Sutton! She lives here in Wichita with her mom but we don't see her nearly as often as we should. Madeline's been an only child for 17 years, but we'll all get to meet her new little brother Liam when she graduates high school in May, and he'll be Sutton's age by then!


All the little cousins sat down by the train track/Christmas village to watch the train and take photos.

Aubrynn took her job of keeping Sutton from falling over very seriously.

"Uh, Mom? Am I okay?"

Janet and Bailey have a Christmas tradition of getting a photo with Bailey on Janet's lap. This is becoming more difficult/awkward/funny as the years go on.

Matt and Bailey! Love this of them.

A budding photographer?

Grandpa Ed wrestling with the grandkids. Sutton can't wait til he can join in on this. I think someone's getting squashed back there...

Well...

There we go. They make a cute couple. :)

Jessica tried so hard to get a good photo of her three kids. Such a difficult task.

Our 2010 family Christmas photo! I hope I remember to do this every year. I know I look pregnant, (or still pregnant) but I promise I'm not. I was wearing a baggie shirt that was apparently not too flattering...other than that, I think this is so fun of us!

And Sutton with his grandma just before he started having a meltdown because he needed a nap. This is that whimpering/about to cry face we all know and love.

Only one more post to go to finish up Sutton's first Christmas! Stay tuned...
