Christmas in Kentucky

We had the joy of hosting Christmas this year with my whole Gayer family!! All four brothers came, one sis-in-law, 2 parents, and one sweet nephew. In the words of my husband, "we had a rockin' good time!!". Our festivities included, rook games, ping pong tournaments, 1st annual Gayer talent show, traditional cinnamon roll Christmas breakfast, advent candles, lots of PS3 and movies on the big screen, Ben learning how to ride his new rip stick (and other family members trying as well, i was very nervous for people's hips), sushi dinner that Ben & kristen made, great conversation, eggnog, lots of fun with Sampson (B& K's mini dauchsand), a lot of presents, a good bit of drama from our sweet girls, and well lots of other fun times!!

It was a good time...here are some pics


avery and her sweet cousin Evan! He is a great little guy and looks just like his mommy and daddy....way to represent the red heads, Evan!


avery and lerran's "cooker hat" they recieved a new kitchen and have had a ball with it!


Daddy's labor of love. He spent many an hour putting together this kitchen...they love it!





the three cousins...pretty good shot, avery is definately the "little mama".


lerran opening a fun piano/song player. I think we should buy stock in V-tech. We defnately have kept them in business this Christmas!




Avery had fun with a piano from Jeremy.

This is an awesome vintage tractor and wagon that my dad made for Ben when he was a baby and all of us kids played with it. They gave it to Evan this Christmas...look at his huge grin!


stockings are always a ton of fun!
