We finished up the year the same way we started it – BUSY.

Seriously, I think 2016 will go on record as one of the busiest years of our entire lives. Jon and I are both praying that 2017 holds a few more slow and boring days. 😉

After our Christmas with the O’Briens and our Christmas just us at home, it was time for the Mangum Family Christmas! We always take a picture like this every year and every year we laugh at how much the family is growing. So fun to see!!

The resident babies. These two are just too much. It was so fun to see Caleb, Nicole and Hudson!

Poor kid was kind of forced into some Auntie loving. 😉

Gammy made the boys the cutest little “melted snowman” hot chocolates and that’s basically all Parker wanted the rest of our time there. 😉

Making cookies with the aunties.

Gingerbread house contest time! We sent the little kids to bed, let Nathan stay up and had a contest as to who could make the best one. It was slightly unfair considering Gammy and Pops were the judges and their oldest grandson was in the competition. 😉

But he was SO cute and SO proud of his gingerbread house. He felt so big getting to stay up a little later with the adults. 🙂

Purple was the color of the day for this Little Miss. 😉

And then – Nama came in town!!! So we had Cayce, Caleb, Nicole, Hudson AND Nama all visiting at the same time!! My kids were in heaven.

Eisley was more than content to just sit in Hudson’s new toy and let him muscle her all over the living room. We were dying. So cute.

We absolutely LOVED seeing Auntie Cayce this trip!!

Loved it. 😉

This night was so quiet. Everyone else had left back to their homes and it was just us, Gammy and Pops and Nama on her last night. Such a sweet time. I love my grandmother.

We had the best Mangum Christmas!! So thankful for Gammy and Pops feeding us and hosting everyone and letting us all hang out there all day every day and spoiling us with so many gifts!

The next day was New Year’s Eve, so we went over to our dear Beechems’ house for some appetizers. 😉 We played until about 8, did the Netflix kids countdown thing and then the girls decided Eisley needed a girl group hug for the last day of the year. Love it so much! We loaded up three very tired kids, put all of them in bed when we got home and Jon and I both fought to stay awake until midnight. 😉

Happy end of 2016!! On to a new year!
