Christmas in Indy

This morning, we headed to Indianapolis for Christmas with my mom's sister and her family. We used to do Christmas here, but after Granddaddy passed away, we started a tradition to travel to Indy since they all come here for Thanksgiving. On the way, it started snowing! It was very pretty. Once we arrived, my aunt had a wonderful appetizer spread set out and we all settled in for a fun afternoon of food, fellowship and kids running around like animals! :) For lunch, there was a wonderful ham, green bean casserole, hashbrown potato casserole, strawberry spinach salad, rolls and then an adorable cake and peppermint ice cream for dessert. The kids got to decorate their own cookies - what a riot!! They loved it. Levi got a fun bowling game for Christmas and Eric and I scored on a gift card from Olive Garden. It was a wonderful afternoon and I kind of got camera happy, so don't fall asleep! :) Enjoy the pictures!

Aunt Gail's pretty tree. She has collected Christopher Radco ornaments for many years and they are the only things allowed on her tree.

Cute little breakfast nook

Doesn't the cake look wonderful? My aunt had it made for today and it was SO tasty! The icing was divine!!

Isn't the living room pretty?

The kids got to decorate their own cookies! They did a great job. I'm sure Aunt Gail will be finding sprinkles for a long time to come! Bailey & Levi...

Good idea to confine Casey and Emmy to their chairs! LOL
