christmas eve 2010


christmas eve is always a lot of fun at meme and grandaddy's house. usually we have a traditional christmas feast, but this year we changed the menu up a little. the kids had mcdonald's :) and the adults had ribeye's! they were soooo good. grandaddy may have started a new tradition and i'm ok with that! :) after lunch it was time for presents! the kids love going on adventures, so meme gave each of them a flashlight with their own treasure map and they got to hunt for their first present. it was so fun. they loved it! after that, it was nothing but chaos! paper tearing, bows flying, boxes ripping and toys galore!! the kids loved all their gifts, and so did the adults! meme made us each a cute wooden cross and painted our names on them. can't wait to hang ours! and we surprised meme and gdaddy with drawings from nate of the kids. (see above.) of course, he outdid himself and they look amazing!!
below, the kids are checking out their maps and ready for their adventure! before the chaos!


when we left meme's we had a candlelight communion service at church. it's always hard to keep the kids quiet, but ya know, christmas is about the kids anyways! and luckily those in charge of the service understand that! it was a sweet time of worship with the family. after church, we headed to the house. the kids played with a few new toys, then got ready for santa to come! oh, and mama remembered to get a pic with each of her boys!

stay tuned for more christmas fun!

Nate did awesome but I personally favor Shannon's present! HA! I'm still waiting on some of Nate's glorious drawings! Maybe I can twist his arm since I took pictures for y'all...MAYBE!
