Merry Merry Christmas!

Every year we do Christmas Eve at our house. Usually Tony, Emily and the kids come over. This year we missed Emily, but were blessed to have Mike, Tracy, Grandmama, Amber, her bf, Tony, Jack, and Liam! I was excited to have family at our house, so I planned some stuff for the kids and made dessert. I let Brandon take care of the food this year. He made a huge pot of Chili and a delicious salad. It was so nice to have Christmas at our house. We visited and drank coffee. Pop and Axton played baseball before the other kids joined us. Axton gave Pop and Pipi his hand made ornament, and he got a Tonka dump truck from them. The kids and I made gingerbread men for Santa. Here are some pictures of theirs. I love that Axton and Liam's are missing some limbs lol! Christmas Eve night, after everyone left, Brandon, Axton, and me made reindeer food and put it on the lawn. Then, we opened presents. Brandon and I opened all of ours, and we let Axton open some. I always look forward to my gifts from Brandon. He is an excellent gift giver. I always get my favorite coffee and wine. We have coffee then a glass of wine while we watch a Christmas movie. I also got some Snooki house shoes that are zebra print and a pink fluffy robe from Victoria Secret. The icing on the cake was my new flash for my camera. I am soooo excited and thankful for all of my gifts. I am even more grateful to have family and friends surrounding me during the holidays. Brandon got new luggage, a Drew Brees jersey, and lots of clothes per his request. Axton got all things Toy Story from Santa. He was cute running out of the room to his presents. We recorded it so we can always go back and see these memories. His favorite present was of course Buzz Light Year. After Axton opened his gifts and played awhile we discussed the true meaning of Christmas. He was excited that it was Jesus' birthday, so excited that he sang him happy birthday. He went something like this, Happy birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Jesus....Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas! I loved hearing his little voice singing to Jesus. He is precious, and I cherish these little moments. Here are some of the pictures from our night.
