The Christmas Craze

It's Christmas at our house today....Santa knows that our mommy works tomorrow :)  We had a busy but fun filled family day!  We started at our house opening presents from Santa this morning!

Right before they came downstairs to see what Santa brought

Stockings first!

Max & Sonja got new doggie beds!

Colson's new "cheese face"

After presents at home we headed over to Mamaw and Papaw's house to celebrate!

Oh my word...presents!!

She thought Aunt Cheryl gave her pull-ups! :)

Getting a little sleepy with Uncle Adam

We left Cowsers around 2 pm and went to church at 3:30.  Then we headed on over to my parents house.  My mom had a terrible stomach flu and couldn't even stay up to watch us open our gifts :(  We were sad that she couldn't be a part of our celebration, but we still had fun with everybody else!

Beep, beep-look out!

We had a crazy busy day, but it was full of family and celebration, which made it super great!  We got lots of gifts but we remember the true "reason for the season"-the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ.  We thank him for our blessings-they truly are abundant.  Funny story to end- yesterday as I was buckling Alyvia into her seat she said "I love Christmas, it's my favorite day".  I said "Me too-do you know what Christmas is really about?" and she replied loudly and enthusiastically "PRESENTS!"  I guess we still have some work to do on that front-LOL!  And yes, I did correct her :)  Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
