Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning!

For Christmas Eve this year we were over at Lulu and Papaw's house with the Stone's and Aunt Rachy. We had some yummy chicken enchiladas and tried to keep the boys entertained yet out of trouble while we waited for our Papaw to get home from a couple Christmas Eve services he was preaching. Once it was time to open presents the boys were SO excited. We handed out gifts and they dove right in!







Our Annual Christmas picture: (the dogs have been replaced by children - we used to all hold a dog, now it's a small boy!)

After gifts it was time to head home. We were exhaused and the kids were all on the verge of a meltdown! It was time to wind down and go to bed...Santa was on his way! On the way home it was snowing!

Christmas morning was so sweet, just our little family, and 2 really excited little boys! Quin spotted his new car and wanted NOTHING to do with anything else! Braidy's favorite present was definitely his Toy Story 3 characters. Isn't it funny they pick the most random/"smallest" gift you buy as their favorite a lot of the time. This gift was definitely a last minute purchase (I needed one more gift for him) but he hasn't quit playing with them yet.





It was a WHITE CHRISTMAS which couldn't have been more perfect. Braidy associated Christmas with snow this year, so if it hadn't of snowed, it wouldn't have been Christmas! After our presents were opened, daddy even took the boys on a QUICK spin in Quin's new car. Quin hasn't gotten out of his car yet, either. Definitely one of my better purchases off of Craigslist! Shhh don't tell Quin! Ha!




The rest of the morning we played and played. Toys were everywhere, and our hearts were full. We had a warm fire going and enjoyed each other's company. We had lunch over here for my family and then resumed our semi lazy day.

John was with his mom this year for Christmas but he got to come over that night for a couple of hours to open his gifts from us and Santa and he and daddy constructed one of his new Ninjago Lego sets! He was spoiled just like his brothers and he was so excited at all of his new toys, art stuff, and Lego's!




Such a wonderful Christmas!! We are truly blessed!
