Ho! Ho! Ho! Round One

This Christmas season has been filled with so many fun events and special moments.  We have enjoyed candle light services, cantatas, train rides, visits with Santa, meals with family, church services, and so much more. I simply love everything about this season. The things that stand out the most are Lillian and Maddie sharing the Christmas Story on Christmas Eve, Reed's bright eyes on Christmas morning and enjoying John Sawyer's first Christmas.

The gang's all here for the Santa Express train ride.

Love these sweeties!

This little one gives the best kisses!

Is there anything sweeter?

His big cousins love him dearly!

Pop and his boys!

So sweet!

We actually celebrated Christmas at our house the Saturday before Christmas.  I really like doing this.  It allows Lindsey and Josh to get ready for Christmas at their house, and Taylor and Caleb have lots of celebrations on her side of the family, too. It also allows us to spend time with both families Christmas Day and check out all of their goodies.

Papa enjoyed spending part of the day with us, and opening his presents.

Maddie was his special elf and helped him with his presents. Papa's favorite present seemed to be this bag of Cracker Jacks!

Reed gives the best hugs!

Taking it all in......

This was actually taken a couple of days earlier.  Pop loves his babies!

My very favorite elf of all........

Just a few pictures of our day-

An oldie but a goodie-The Pie in the Face game!!

Cruising in his new wagon!

This tree is all boxed up and all the decorations are down!  It was another very special Christmas!

Next up-Christmas Day!
