Christmas Pictures

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone already. And it was so much fun. It's amazing how excited kids can get. I will never forget this year because Easton, Allie and Chaz was so into Santa Clause. Christmas Eve night, they all went to bed pretty much on their own cause they knew Santa was coming. When I tucked Easton into bed, he said "Mommy, did you know Santa is the best man in Kentucky?" Then I went into Allie's room and she said "Mommy, if you see Santa in the middle of the night, wake me up cause I need to talk to him." Even Chaz was excited to go to bed. But it was all we could do to keep him from eating all of Santa's cookies and drinking his milk. Of course, throughout this whole past month, we've also been talking about the real reason for Christmas. The kids sang Happy Birthday to Jesus on Christmas Day. However, it was really hard for them to understand to not just think about presents! Christmas Eve, we had breakfast with my mom and dad and did Christmas. Of course, we couldn't even bring it all home in one vehicle.....pathetic! Easton's favorite gift from there was probably the deer hunting game, Allie's favorite was her Barbie pool and Chaz's was probably his wagon. My favorite gift was my dishes and Timmy liked all the new movies he got.
Christmas morning, Timmy got called in to go to work so we woke the kids up really early so that we could do Christmas before he had to leave. The kids loved what Santa brought them. It seemed like it all happened so fast; we were actually done before daylight.
Later that day, we went to Timmy's family where the kids racked up with more presents and we had a good dinner. The food is something I always look forward to. And then the next day, we did Christmas with all my family. We had a good surprise for the kids too. Santa Clause stopped by. The kids didn't know what to think. I thought the Chaz would be really scared, but he actually walked up to him and sat in his lap. Maybe since we had talked him up so much and making Santa out to be such a good guy. Santa even played Nerf guns with the boys for awhile.
But Christmas is over now.....time to get things back in order. It was so much fun and can't wait till next year when we can do it all over again.
