Christmas Day

Christmas day was a wonderful day from the moment we all woke up, all the way til we crawled back in bed that night. It was a perfect day spent with my family, opening presents, playing all day, eating some yummy food and I just felt completely blessed to be with the ones I love most on this earth. Christmas Eve night we got cookies and milk ready for Santa. The big girls were pretty excited about Christmas morning and had a pretty hard time falling asleep. Adalyn gave us a laugh as she was going to bed. She told me "I'm afraid I might hear Santa and I don't want to hear him". We assured her he was in a hurry and would not be coming upstairs! Love that cute girl. Christmas morning our first girl didn't wake up til 10 til 8. Jeff and I were shocked! I went ahead and got up and dressed waiting for the rest of the house. I was a little excited myself. Once everyone was up Daddy read us the Christmas story, we said a prayer and we headed down stairs.

And this is what they saw when they got downstairs.

There were some pretty excited faces. Avery didn't hesitate a second to climb in her car from Santa. She loves it!

Aubrey and Adalyn both asked Santa for a new reading chair for their rooms. They were so excited when they saw what he left them.

Daddy reading one of the many new books they got!

 

Landon finally woke up and it was his turn to get to open some presents.

Time out to pose for some pictures!

The sisters exchanging presents. They love this part!

Adalyn was so excited to give Daddy this new cup she picked out.

Nana and Papaw sent us some fun gifts too!

I think Landon enjoyed his first Christmas!

This happened to be one of the girls favorite things they got. Adalyn played with this the majority of the day and they have continued to play with it constantly.  It's called Design and Drill. It was a good find and I highly recommend it.




I'm pretty bummed I didn't take anymore pictures of the rest of the day. We had a bad storm come through that day and it seriously knocked our power on and off all. day. long! We had a brisket in the oven and potatoes in the crock pot and every time it came back on we had to remember to turn the oven and crock pot back on again. It was a miracle we even got to eat dinner at all although it was an hour and a half later than we had planned. Then when it did come time to eat there was no power and it was dark outside so most of our dinner was eaten by candle light, and me, the picture taking queen didn't get one picture of that! Boo. It was a memorable Christmas indeed! We really enjoyed our day together and celebrating the birth of the One who came to save us all. That night after the kids were in bed Jeff and I watched The Nativity. It was such a good movie and we hope to make it a tradition.
