Christmas has come and gone

Christmas this year was great! We had a wonderful time with family as well as each other. Pictures are in descending order of how they happened but I would rather tell you that than try to rearrange them. Everyone was home for Christmas which is something to be thankful for. We enjoy getting to see them every time we get a chance. Being at home has its advantages since we don't have to travel far distances but I am telling you...you get worn out trying to go and do as much as possible. We celebrate with The Pollards Christmas Eve lunch, then to Granny's for presents, church and supper, then home to get in bed for Santa Claus. We wake up early Christmas morning to see what Santa left, then to the Pugh's to celebrate with them and enjoy breakfast, then to my parent's to enjoy a second breakfast. We were home by 1:00 for some much needed naps due to Cole's throwing up Christmas Eve night while Santa was visiting I might add. We stripped the sheets, tried our best to keep him in his room and finally got him back asleep around 11:00. Christmas night we headed back to the Pugh's for dinner and then home. Joy, Trey and Ella Joy couldn't make it until Friday afternoon so we went back Friday for Christmas with my family. 6 grandchildren 6 and under makes for complete chaos but so much fun!

All 6 lined up...from L to R...Ella Joy (22 months), Addison (22 months), Graham (4), Cole (23 months), Aliee (6), and Owen (4 1/2 months)

Sisters with children minus Owen (he was sleeping)

Dax trying to get Cole to agree to put this shirt on. Cole quickly told him NO!

Roll Tide Dax...Roll Tide!

Cole trying to get inside his barn. It is big but not quite that big!

Owen posing for mom. He had a great Christmas! Of course, he didn't know a thing and I probably could have told Santa not to worry about him this year but I just couldn't do it!

Cole's Christmas from Santa. He got a basketball goal, tool bench, a book, a Bible, some movies, doodle pad, a barn and a tractor just like his daddy use to play with.

Owen's gifts from Santa...a high chair since we never had one with Cole, an ocean wonder for the crib which he already loves, some bath toys, a teether, a new lovey and blanket and a couple of movies.

The Pughs' annual picture at Pop and Grandmama's . We added Brittany and Owen this year! Pretty soon the couch won't fit us.

As you can see we had a great Christmas and are extremely blessed. I was making a list of what all the boys received this year for their baby books and it was ridiculous. We are so grateful for those that we got to see and enjoyed our time with each of you. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and kindness. We couldn't ask for more. The Lord blesses us when we are so undeserving! May the Lord our God be with each of you throughout this new year.
