Fun Old Fashioned Simmons Christmas!

We shared a few days with Aaron's family in our home - it was really nice having them all together.  It doesn't happen often enough so we made the most of our short time together.  

 

So without further ado and in no particular order....a fun old fashioned Simmons Christmas!

Arlo pushing Atticus around the house....Switch!

Atticus pushing Arlo around the house...

Nathan the dog whisperer...

Atticus is a pro at opening presents!  He is the first to offer his expertise to anyone with a gift nearby.

Checking out his new oceans in action book - thanks Gpa & Gma!

Gma reading to Atticus

Gpa and Arlo

You can read his shirt...but it says "Awesome is my Auntie'...I bought it for him (and Gpa jokes that he looks like Yoda so I thought it was fitting)

Aunt Jessica reading to little man....one of his favorites!

These two....

Poor Nathan was being skooshed by Atticus and Scout....and Jessica was there to help :)

"I'm IN Christmas" - Grandma

Atticus was very excited about his Hess Truck!!!  He has two in his collection now.

The three littlest guys all got shiny new Hess trucks!!! - Simmons tradition
