Christmas 2014

We have had a good time celebrating Griffin's first Christmas.

Christmas Eve we opened presents at home before we went to the Christmas Eve service at church. After the service, we loaded up and headed to Quanah. Since we were not going to be home for Santa, we sent a note with Bubbles with elf letting Santa know he could just leave our stuff and we would get it when we returned home. (I sure hope he got the message!)

Christmas morning Santa brought a few things for Hadley to Mimi's house, and then we opened presents. I think Griffin had more fun with the paper and bows than anything else!

We have had a good break from work and school so far. Tomorrow is my birthday (38!), and then we will celebrate the new year next week. Time is going by so quickly, so we are trying to soak up every moment we can with our precious kiddos!

I think I have finally figured out one of life's greatest mysteries...how to post pictures directly from my phone onto this blog. Oh happy day. 

So, here goes...

Christmas Eve 2010

We are enjoying a fun Christmas at home, just the three of us. So far we have made pumpkin bread, chex mix, Christmas cookies, and white chocolate covered pretzels. Yum! We have watched lots of movies (mostly Hadley's picks) including Stuart Little 1 & 2, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Veggie Tales, and Toy Story (1 & 2). I think Hadley is excited about Santa coming tonight. Hopefully he won't fall off his big boy bed and roll under the bed like he did last night! We are excited to see his face tomorrow morning when he sees what Santa brought him!

We had a wonderful holiday season this year. We got to spend time with family and friends. And Santa was very good to all of us!
