It was a different kind of Christmas this year but a great one, nonetheless. We planned on being in our new house and well...plans changed. We ran out of days before Christmas and decided to drop back, make the best of an unusual situation, and enjoy the holidays. It was a Christmas we won't ever forget, and seeing the colored lights, decorations, Santa Claus, and festivities from our little boy's eyes made it perfect.
Wills helped Gammy and Mommy with lots of holiday baking.
We enjoyed a Christmas Eve candlelit service with my family.
We decided to spend Christmas Eve night at my sister and Tony's house. They graciously opened up their home to us and our traditions. We read The Christmas Story from Luke, Twas the Night Before Christmas, and The Polar Express. We all opened up new Christmas Eve pajamas from my parents. We set out cookies and milk for Santa Claus, and then it was bedtime.
Later on, Santa showed up, emptied his sack for Wills, and was on his way!
We read a lot of directions.
Christmas Morning came. Wills was excited to see what Santa brought.
He was especially excited about his awesome train table from Aunt Sissy and Uncle Tone.
We had both families over for Christmas breakfast casserole.
We spent the rest of the day (without our camera...sad) moving from place to place. We opened presents at Dot's, ate lunch with William's family, and headed back to dinner with mine. It was a busy day, overflowing with family, friends, and a lot of love. We are so thankful for everyone being flexible with us this holiday season.
But, what Christmas is complete without a little annual family wood picking and splitting. This one's for you, Dad.
Merry Christmas!
