Christmas, my favorite time of the year. This year I didn't have to work Christmas Eve or Christmas. Thank goodness since I worked every other holiday just so I could be off for these two. Christmas for my family is a two day event. We have three places to go on Christmas Eve and two places to go on Christmas. So needless to say I am one tired puppy after Christmas Day! I can't believe that I didn't take my camera on Christmas Eve :( I have so much other stuff to carry I totally forgot about taking it! I made sure that I had it Christmas morning! I was so excited for Liam. He is at that age where he doesn't understand but he has fun opening gifts and playing with all the toys!
Christmas Eve starts out at the Gilley's around one or two. We eat, exchange gifts, open them and then we play dirty santa! This year got a little racy! HAHA After that we do the Brasfield Christmas around five or six. This year was at my parents house. We pretty much do the same things as the Gilley's. We eat, which is always breakfast, open gifts and play a cleaner version of dirty santa. Lastly, we go to the McWhorter's and start it all over again. They eat before we get there because by the time we get there, we are stuffed! Once we get there, we exchange gifts and do dirty santa there as well. We are so blessed to be able to have a Christmas like we do! We love and are loved by so many it's overwhelming! We wouldn't be who we are or where we are today if it wasn't for each and every one of them!
Christmas morning we wake up early and do Christmas at our house. After we go to my parents and open gifts and eat breakfast there. After that we go to Ryan's parents and eat breakfast again. We open presents there and then we head home and nap. I get tired just typing all this and remembering how wore out I was! I love everything about it though and can't wait to do it again in another year!
Here was the tree and all the gifts that Santa left Liam! And my new pillows that Ryan didn't wrap!
His new bookcase with all the books that he opened since December 1st. I also found a cool website where I could get Disney movies really cheap. I ordered him all the "guy" Disney movies to watch :)
Opening up his Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Thomas the Train shirts...
Our next stop was my parents house. We eat breakfast and open up all of our gifts!
My happy baby in his Santa Claus PJs
G got Liam a new hat. He thinks it is funny that she is trying to wear it ....
After my parents we go to Ryan's parents. Ryan helped cook brunch for everyone while I played with Liam. Here he is with the Furby Nana Jo and Papa John got him.
We have no place to put all this stuff. It took me all day to put this stuff up. I still find stuff laying around that I have no place for. This is why we need a bigger house!
