A few highlights from Christmas!

So this whole post is in no order whatsoever.  I can't figure out how to move pics around so it's backwards and all mixed up.  Oh well.  You'll get the gist anyway. 
The Sunday after Christmas Jeff's girlfriend Courtney came to surprise him!  We had an amazing time with her!  She teases Jeff with the best of them = a way to a sister's heart!
It was surprisingly warm in Georgia during our stint there.  Here's Dad w/ Maddy swinging on the front porch! 
Mema & Papa stopped by on their way back home after being in Gatlinberg for a week! The dish-towel is serving as a bib :) 
Having fun with her new toys!
Santa Came!!!!
I guess our waitress got tired of refilling Dad's coffee cause she brought him this ginormous cup.  It was pretty funny!

Dad took us to Maggianos for taking down the Christmas decor in a hurry! It was sooooo good. 
Probably my BEST present: Jo drew us this picture of Madison.  She is extremely talented as you can see!
Alan bought Christie Guitar Hero World Tour for Christmas and decided to bring it up so we could play.  What can I say we're the Von Howard family singers, or maybe just musicians.  You should really click on this picture so you can see all the expressions! 

The kids outside of the Dillard House! 
Christmas Day was a little different for us this year.  It's the first time in our (the kids) lives we haven't spent it with the Perry's. :(  Alan & Christie joined us in the afternoon which is when we opened presents and then went to the Dillard House for dinner.  Maddy got the head of the table position! 

We arrived at Mom & Dad's late Dec. 14th and they surprised us with a crib! I was so happy that Madison didn't have to sleep in a Pack n Play for 3 weeks.
