Christmas Day

What a perfect day! Such good memories from this Christmas--maybe my favorite Christmas yet!

The kids had such a great day! They were so excited!!! Parker showed us each and every thing that Santa left him! He was trilled over everything!









 I made red velvet pancakes for a fun festive breakfast! Yummy!








After a relaxing morning at home, we headed to Mimi's house! We had the perfect place to test out Parker's parachute man!


Mimi got the kids awesome bikes! 
 Later that afternoon we headed to Kaki's house!









It was a full day. A really great, full day! Such a blessing to have had this day!

 Merry Christmas to all. And to all a good night!

Twas the Night before Christmas...

What a day! Christmas eve might just be my very favorite day of the entire year! The anticipation is just unreal for me!

We started the morning off opening some ornaments. Parker carried his train around with him all day long. He was so thankful. He kept telling us that he loved it and thanked us at least once every hour. 

Next up we went to our annual Cracker Barrel breakfast!


This girl loves food! Look at her already using a fork! Oh how I love this little girl!
Finally got a family photo of our family on Christmas Eve at Cracker Barrel! I've been wanting one of these for 3 years (since we started this tradition!)
Next stop--The Galleria!
Where we built a dino and a kitty!

Making their buddies come to life!
These two have quite the bond! They love each other so.



One happy girl!
and then we got Santa a cookie! and Blakely, Parker & Clint too =)

No trip to the mall is complete without a carousel ride!


One of my very favorite traditions at Christmas is the cards! I love love love the cards!
Blakely loves taking pictures! This one is one of 50 that she took!
she dressed kitty up for Christmas!
Excitement bursting right about now!!!!
Our Christmas lights!
Santa!
