Christmas Eve started with gingerbread cookies. We had made and baked them days before but waited till Christmas eve to decorate them. I put the icing on and Liam decorated them with sprinkles.
When he wasn't decorating, he was eating them!
After decorating cookies we decided it would be best to let him open his presents from us. I had to work Christmas Day and knew that that morning would be hectic. We figured we would just do Santa stuff on Christmas day.
After unwrapping he would say "Open!" He wanted to open every present!
We had to read the books he got ...
Someone has been watching Momma pull tags off of things with her teeth.
Christmas at the Gilley's consisted of good food, lots of presents, egg nog, dirty santa and family pictures!
Typical picture of the kids!
After the Gilley's we went to the Brasfield Christmas and had the famous Christmas breakfast. Of course I forgot my camera again :( Santa and his elves came to the door and sang a Christmas carol. Liam loved it! We played dirty santa and then made our way to the next place!
After the Brasfield Christmas we went to the McWhorter Christmas. Of course I was so tired I forgot to take pictures there too. I really have to get better at this! We played dirty santa there too! After we exchanged gifts we decided to head home to help Santa put together Liam's present!
Santa brought Liam a train table!!!!
Our stockings. Santa started shopping a little early this year and perhaps "made" too many toys to put in his stocking :)
I love Christmas!
Poor little guy. He decided he wanted to sleep in that morning. We had to wake him up or we would be rushed getting to the places we needed to go. I had to be at work at 1pm that day so we had to get moving. He was falling alseep while he was going through his stocking.
Finally I laid him in the recliner to sleep it off while Ryan and I went through our stockings.
After our house we went to my parents house. We opened gifts and ate breakfast. Yum!
After my parents we went to Ryan's parents. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures. We took our video camera with us and Ryan taped Liam opening up his presents. If only we had more hands!
All in all Christmas was great. I love buying gifts and giving them to family. Seeing Liam's expressions makes it all the best! I can't wait till next year when there will be 2 more rotten kids running (or crawling) around!
