Christmas in Houston

We went to Houston to James and Kelli's to celebrate Christmas. As you can see the kids were anxiously waiting to open presents. It is a Maddox tradition to have each person open their presents one at a time, starting with the youngest. The good thing is that everyone gets to see what everyone got and it makes the moment last a little longer whereas with my family, it is a 30 second mad dash as everyone opens all at one time.
Above you see that Camden was excited to get the remote controlled car from us.
Ana at first didn't know what this was, but once she learned it was a jewelry holder and can hold lots of earrings, she was excited. She has already put all her earrings on it. (Notice the outfit, Sunni? :-) )
Braedon also got a remote controlled car from us -- he and Camden spent the rest of the time racing each other.
Ashlyn got clothes from us and jewelry and money from Grandma Betty and Granddad.
Mae Mae was actually willing to smile for the camera with mom and dad -- this is a rare occurrence for her.
Here is the cross that Jodi and I made for Kelli for her birthday and Christmas combined.
Ava and Ali were excited to receive "cinderella dolls" to play with -- they also were excited to help Uncle James open his presents.
Here Adi is helping Uncle James open his presents as well.
This book has a story...if you see James, ask him about it.
Jodi got a rip stick...not to sure if he can do it.
We had a great, but short visit with James, Kelli, Grandma Betty, and Granddad in Houston.
