Christmas....One Month Later

I realize an entire month has passed and I haven't said one word about our Christmas.  I guess I was too busy with two kids to take the time out to blog about it, but I told myself...If I don't do it today, I will never do it!  So, I'm taking the time (while Lily sleeps) to record the best Christmas Ever!  I say that it's the best because the Lord blessed us with Lily just ten days before.  Our little family is complete!  We had the best time celebrating with our extended families and had an even better time when we could steal away a few minutes to just be a family of four!  How blessed we truly are.


We started of the holidays with a trip to Cullman 5 days before Lily to spend some time with my mom's family.

The next night we opened presents from my dad's sister,Hilda, and took Will to see the Galaxy of Lights.  No pictures from the lights, but Will loved it!

We spent Christmas Eve at my mom and dad's house.  It's so nice to have all of our family in town.  Pat's family also joins us for Christmas Eve.  I love that my kids get to have all of their grandparents and aunts and uncles together, under one roof, on Christmas Eve!  

We got up bright and early Christmas morning to see what Santa brought Will!  He got a tent, some books, and a tricycle.   He's still a little small for the tricycle, but loved the tent.  My parents came over to enjoy a yummy breakfast, Pat read the story of Jesus' birth, and we opened presents.  It was a great morning, but I was exhausted!  Needless to say, Lily wasn't sleeping through the night at 10 days old so it was a long day!

Around lunch time, we headed over to Pat's dad's house to celebrate Christmas with them and open MORE presents!  We got a ton of stuff this year!  We must have been good!  Will was more interested in the bows than in what he actually got.  I think he pulled them off of every package and handed them to me saying, "hee ya go." By now, I am extremely tired and I just didn't get a ton of pictures.  I will do better next year!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and were able to spend it with those you love!  By the way...Lily is 6 weeks old today and slept through the night last night!  Yay Lily!  I haven't slept through the night in at least  6 months and it was GLORIOUS!
