Christmas with Rochelle's family

Better late than never right?  I feel like I have said that phrase before :)  Oh well...here's to posting about Christmas in May!

On Christmas afternoon we celebrated with my family.  The kids were excited for one more round of presents :)  We enjoyed a delicious dinner. opened presents and then just relaxed.  It was so nice!

Theo and Bob, the tomato.  He loves Veggie Tales!

Maryn and Belle.  She loves the books from Hallmark that come with a stuffed animal that barks when you read certain phrases.  She already had Jingle and my parents got her Belle.

Christmas morning!

 Just when I think I'm getting caught up, I fall behind again.  Oh well, here's Christmas in February :)

Christmas morning at our house was so much fun!  Our kiddos are all morning sleepers so early rising was not on the agenda for today...ok with the "Santa's" :)  Maryn was the first one up and was super excited to see what was under the tree!  It was fun to see them so excited and filled with anticipation!  We took our time opening gifts and having breakfast, caught a few minutes of a Christmas parade and then got ready to go to my parent's house for the rest of the day.

Our tree!

Special Santa gifts!

Christmas Eve with Jeremy's family...

We spent the afternoon and evening in Lapel with Jeremy's family. The time is filled with lots of laughter, food, and of course gifts!  The kids are always super excited to open presents and then about half way through they are mad at us for not opening each toy and getting it out :)  We were smart this year and left time to give both boys a nap before going to the Christmas Eve service at church.  A fun day and great time spent with family!

Oh boy, a big truck book!
I know what we'll be reading at bedtime for awhile :)

Cormac and Papaw

Here Cormac let me open that for you!

It's Rex from Toy Story!

Cormac got lots of help this year...thanks Stone!

Yep, everyone was in on helping Cormac!
In fact he thought he would just crawl away and let them do it:)

Maryn, Turner, and Quincy

Maryn and her new doll and chair from her cousins!

Mr. Fix-it got a work bench!

Merry Christmas Eve!

So excited for the morning!!

Christmas Eve...pjs and books :)

In keeping with our tradition, on Christmas Eve afternoon we opened the first Christmas gifts...new pjs and books!
