Stewardson Christmas 2013 ~ The Whole Gang



It's not easy trying to get a picture of 10 children ages 8 down to 18 months!  This is the best we could do! 
Quincy, Luke, Thomas, Gussie Lou, Gray, Fritz, Will, Geyer, Gus and Kirklyn

Stewardson Christmas 2013 ~ Riding the Ranger

All of the kids loved going on rides on the Ranger.  They had fun seeing all of the wildlife ~ they even got to see some wild hogs and their babies! 


 Silly Will with the wind in his hair!
Ummmm, something tells me Fritz wasn't too thrilled about riding shotgun with Uncle Sam! 

Stewardson Christmas 2013 ~ Playing in the Courtyard

The kids spent lots of time outside in the courtyard playing.  It was a great place for them to be able to run around and ride the scooters and just have fun being outside! 

The three youngest:
Gussie Lou ~ 18 months
Quincy ~ 20
Fritz ~ 22 months
Will whistling ~ 
Will flashing his famous grin!
Off he goes on the scooter he got from Paw Paw and Melinda
Geyer sharing secrets with Kirklyn
These two are going to be BFFs!  
I noticed a certain redhead and his cousin weren't outside with the rest of the kiddos.  I found them in the game room ~ but quickly ran them outside! 




Such handsome boys!  Gray wasn't in the picture because he had been feeling bad and his dad took him to the doctor.  Luckily it wasn't anything serious and he felt better fast! 



Scooter time!

Those girls ~ side by side again!
Serious Gus
Smiling Gus!
