Christmas Week is Here!

We kicked off our Christmas traditions by getting together with the Brown's this weekend to eat and let the kids exchange gifts. Mom did a great job cooking and having everyone over along with the added excitement level from the kids riding scooters and trucks, the occasional marching band, dodge ball game all coming through the busy kitchen while little hands are reaching for food, drink and knives on the counter! I am also so thankful that my sweet Granny Shaw can still drive herself up to my parents house from Gulfport and participate, we are so blessed to have her still in such good health!

Here are our pics from the week so far... we are getting ready for Santa to come! We have been playing with our new toys. We went to Gatti Town yesterday with Nana and had a great time...cool place. I just can't explain how special and sentimental Christmas is this year with the boys being a little older, it just keeps getting better!! I'm trying to keep the boys in line so that Santa will try to find them out here in the country where we can't get local TV piped in!

Granny, Dad and Jason recovering after a big meal, watching our Saints :(

Nana and the boys handing out stickers.

The aftermath and Grayson's antlers that you shake or something.

They are convinced that their big dump trucks are riding toys that I am supposed to push them around the house in!

Getting into the photo spirit, it was worse than the paparazzi.

We even take pictures of each other taking pictures....

Lucy read us all the sweet story about the Candy Cane.

Uncle Dean and Harrison looking at the AWESOME ginger bread house at Nana's!

The boys at Gatti town....they really did have fun...

Riding the cool train, it's pretty fast for a toddler ride...hang on!!
