Christmas 2013

Another fun Christmas season has come and gone for the Courtrights! We began our celebration by spending some time at MeMe and Granddaddy's home in White Oak. All of the cousins gathered on Christmas Eve to exchange gifts and spend some fun time together.

Favorite photo of Christmas: the Morgan cousins!

All the stockings hung with care at MeMe and Granddaddy's house.

Kaitlynn and Daddy share a Christmas hug.

Couldn't resist posting this pic of the cousins' bedheads. Accurate portrayal of Christmas morning!

After opening our stockings, we enjoyed some breakfast and then started our family gift exchange. Then the kids had so much fun playing with all of their new gifts.

Jeff and Connor play with one of Connor's gifts.

The popular gift for the cousins this year: the rainbow loom. Everyone loved it!

Kaitlynn LOVES her new scooter from MeMe and Granddaddy.

Marissa and Kaitlynn were thick as thieves, as usual!

Marissa and Kaitlynn still love MeMe's baby crib.

Later that day, we had Round 2 with the extended Morgan family. We enjoyed lots of food and more gifts!

MeMe brought out all the nice Christmas dishes and platters for the dessert table this year. So pretty!

On Christmas Day, we had the movie theater to ourselves to watch Frozen. One of my new favorites!

Back in Katy, we waited for the older boys to come over so we could all celebrate our family Christmas together. Collin's girlfriend Martha was able to join us this year and we had a great time. We had a special arrangement with Santa to make a trip to our house a little later than usual and it worked out great. ;-)

Cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.

When the kids woke up, they were excited to see that Santa came! After inspecting our stockings and gifts from Santa, we then exchanged presents as a family. So much Christmas fun!

Santa brought some big gifts this year.

A classic Christmas-gift reaction from Connor. He couldn't believe we got him the rainbow loom, and he loves it!

Martha (Collin's girlfriend) shows off one of her gifts.

One of the gifts from Nana and Grandpa, a "toxic" laundry bag. Perfect!!

Jeff's favorite Christmas gift every year: his personalized family calendar.

All in all it was another wonderful Christmas! 2014, here we come!
