Our last Christmas celebration was at Great Grandma Furness's house. We of course stuffed our bellies full of food one last time, and then started the process of opening presents. The kids opened theirs and then we had our white elephant gift exchange for the adults. We tried getting a picture of the 3 littles with their pillows Heather and Aunt Jody made for them, but it was a lost cause. It was a long day, but we had a good time. Alex was exhausted by the end of the night and asking to go bye-bye. As soon as we were done opening presents and taking family pictures we headed home. Another great Christmas is officially in the books!!!

Christmas Day Two!!

The day after Christmas we got up and headed to Grandma & Grandpa Kershaw's for another full day of celebration!! We started off the morning playing with Daddy, Uncle Travis, & Evalee while Grandma cooked us a yummy breakfast! After breakfast we started opening presents. Grandma was a little out of control with presents for Alex & Eva so we had two rounds of presents. The first one for the kiddos and then the rest of us!! Alex got a tricycle, a magna doodle, books, movies, puzzles,a tunnel, and clothes. We sure got spoiled this year!!

For some reason Uncle Travis & I were really giving each other a hard time. The whole family had lots of fun poking fun at each other. We finally got all our presents unwrapped, and then we had to lay down and take a nap to get ready for the afternoon festivities. We were headed to Great Grandma Furness's house!!!

Christmas Afternoon

Mommy's camera went missing once we packed up the truck to head to Great Uncle Mike & Great Aunt Crystal's so Aunt Amy took a couple pictures for us. Alex, Thomas, and Zoey had a great time together. They really are sooo cute together!!

After we left Rockbridge we headed home. Grandma & Grandpa Kershaw were waiting at our house for us. Alex showed them all his presents, but really he was just ready to spend a little time by himself. He didn't even want to talk to Mom & Dad he just wanted to sit quietly and play with his toys. He did that for a while and then it was off to bed!! We have another long day tomorrow!!

Family Photos

After church I insisted on getting a few family photos. Everyone was ready to change their clothes and the boys were ready to play with their toys, but we managed a few good ones!!

Our family on Christmas morning.

Believe it or not we had 3 little kids that were good enough this year, that Santa stopped by and brought lots of presents!!! Alex really didn't get the whole idea of Christmas and Santa this year, but it didn't stop him from having fun!! He wasn't super interested in tearing open presents, but he was interested in playing with all the toys. He wanted us to open every box that contained a toy and take out every piece. It was a battle, but we enjoyed ourselves nonetheless.

Alex ended up with a Bears football helmet, an Elmo potty chair, a Little People Farm set, a horse on a stick, lots of books, a John Deere tractor/flashlight, a Buzz Lightyear toothbrush set, some clothes and slippers.

Mommy & Daddy got lots of nice gifts too! It's so great to spend time with the family and see the little o
