Christmas was super busy. We had Christmas service, Christmas at MP and Joe's, Christmas morning at our house, Christmas night at our house, and Christmas day night at my parents house. A few days later, we headed to Greenville for Christmas at Mama Rubye's. That's right, my children essentially had 4 Christmases. We are so lucky to have family close--it makes the travel from house to house really easy, and for the most part, our kids don't have to leave their new loot.
We hit the "children's service" Christmas Eve, then headed to MP and Joe's for the kids to open their gifts. Because they need more stuff, right?
Lord, help me when this kid is officially out of jon-jons. I'll be curled up in a corner crying. I'm currently pushing the envelope.
Who doesn't love chocolate money? 2 great things combined.
Wrapping paper didn't stand a chance.
New telescope
Joint gift for Anthony and Sam.
A signed football from Dak Prescott!
New motorized train set.
Christmas at Mom and Dad's. By this time, the children were absolute pros at opening presents. It was a complete melee. Blake's girlfriend was there, and she had a good laugh at how there was no order to opening gifts--they may as well have been trying to open gifts as fast as humanly possible. I didn't get as many pictures because they were going so quickly.
Total destruction.
We took the next day off to recuperate a little, then we headed to Greenville the 27th. We had a good time with Anthony's grandmother, aunts and uncle, and one of his cousins.
Nothing says fun like a ride on the hotel trolley.
Sam's first experience helping to make kibbee. It's a Lebanese rite of passage.
