Our Christmas

I am slow to blog as we have been enjoying our staycation and having computer problems at the same time! Anyway, we had a wonderful Christmas day! Paxton and Lorelei were so into the whole Christmas thing this year, it was so cute. Lorelei especially got it all and was just so full of enthusiasm. Every gift she opened she would say "That's just what I wanted!"
We started Christmas morning with the kids coming down stairs to see what Santa had brought them! They were so happy to see all their gifts! Santa had been working hard to get those last few items and requests! Paxton got a Wii, Legos, a ball shooter, several DVD's, puzzles and some other items. Lorelei got a Barbie dollhouse, an Ariel vanity, a knock off American Girl Doll, Babies, nightgowns, dresses, and many other girly things. Of course they wanted to open everything immediately, so we played for a while and then got ready and headed up to my parents house for a day of more gift opening and awesome family time!

We had fun hanging out with everyone and the kids loved having time to talk and play with everybody in the fam. Paxton especially enjoyed playing with his cousins. We all got all kids of wonderful gifts from our family. I think one of Paxton's favorite's was his drum set from Grandmama and Grandaddy and Lorelei loved her twin babies who talk and sing to each other. It was just fun to be with everybody and not have to be rushed to go home or anything like that. Here are some family pictures from our day- more on our staycation to come!

Christmas morning- I made them stay at the top of the steps for this pic- they were dying to come downstairs!

Paxton left a note for Santa letting him know that the cookies were for him and the carrots were for the reindeer. Santa left his a little thank you note back for them.
