More Celebrating in Georgia...

On Dec. 26th, we drove down to Georgia to celebrate Christmas with family and also to celebrate my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary.  It was a very busy week preparing for the big celebration, seeing lots of people we have not seen in a while, and spending time with family.  We stayed at Mama Cook and Papa Doug's house for the week.  Mama Cook spoiled us with good cooking and taking good care of our kids (and my hubby) while I was busy with my sisters planning the anniversary celebration.   
Riley opening her present from Mama Cook and Papa Doug.  It is a set of Dog statues and she got a pretty box to store them in.
Reece opening her present from Mama Cook and Papa Doug.  She got two pretty shirts and a pretty box that she likes to store treasures in.
Regan opening her presents from Mama Cook and Papa Doug.  She got the game, "Bananagrams" and a book.  She also got a pretty box.
Dad F. opening his book from us and check out Reece's expression.  I guess she is thinking what I am thinking, "That book has A LOT of pages!"
Mom F. opening her Griddle from us.  We got to enjoy the results of this present....yummy pancakes and bacon!!!! :)
Tony opening his book from his parents.  We got a good laugh because Tony got his Dad a book, Joe got his Dad a book and Tony got a book from his dad.  The Fernandez's love to read!  And Tony and his Dad both purchased the books at Costco! :)
The girls playing, Bananagrams, with Mama Cook.  This is a fun game!
Reece got a new hairbrush for Christmas and she is trying it out on Mama Cook and Papa Doug.  She loves to play, "hairdresser."
Now, Papa Doug is being the good sport. 
What do you think?!

Regan loves to play Recorder while her Mama Cook plays the flute.  Riley has now joined in the "family band" with her new guitar. 
The "Fernandez Band" performing Chrismas songs for GG and GP. 
Regan and Riley showing GG their new erasers.  These erasers are like puzzles that you can take apart and put back together.
GG came up with a fun game for the girls.  The girls looked through GG's old greeting cards and picked some they liked.  Then, they made up a story based on the card's pictures.
Of course Riley's stories were all about dogs!
