We spent Christmas Eve this year in Morristown at my parents' house.
Mom has her tree right as you walk in her house. As the children arrived, they couldn't seem to get past it and kept surveying all the presents under it.
At least until it was time to eat!
They finally pulled themselves away for the delicious Christmas meal waiting on us...
The fam goes all out with the food.
No one goes hungry!
J. putting on a little post dinner concert for us.
Addalee wanted to do the same,
so once J. was done, she sang a little song.
It didn't last too long because they were ready for the big present opening section of the day.
The full scene:
How fun is it watching little kids opening presents?
I remember when we were the kids,
ripping through the paper to see what presents were waiting for us.
Our family always made it special
and still is...
Speaking of special,
Chris and Will made J.'s Christmas by getting him, not only one, but two whoopie cushions:
What was even better was seeing the other kids love it as well.
River didn't get the hang of just putting his bottom on it,
but rather would face plant into it. We couldn't help but get a big kick out of them!
I wonder if they've already made a disappearing act... :)
Will and Beth prior to leaving for the Christmas Eve church service.
It's a tradition for our little family.
Our family.
Us with the awesome bag of goodies Sonya got for baby Elizabeth.
Even though our little baby is still in utero,
Sonya and Nana sweetly gave her great presents...
It makes me excited for next year when she'll be out and about with us!
Thankful for another Christmas holiday
to celebrate the Savior's birth...
He has given us so much.
xoxo
