Christmas pictures

We had such a special Christmas this year. We finally enjoyed a Christmas at home instead of traveling, and though we missed our extended family it was without a doubt a wonderful way to spend Christmas. We had the best Christmas ever enjoying the special time with our children. These are just the pictures from Christmas morning opening presents. The kids got much more this year than they will next year. I had gotten a lot of things for the boys on sale/clearance long before Christmas. Some things I had actually gotten at least 4-5 years ago (long story). I had forgotten about them being stored in the garage, so when I added them it made quite a few presents for the boys to open. We opened one box to find a large spider web inside, no doubt from being stored in the garage when we lived in Florida - ooops, that was a little hard to explain to the little ones! At least there weren't any spiders!

Christmas morning

We had a great Christmas! I have so many Christmas pictures to choose from to post on here! I'll add more later, but for now I'll start with one of each of the kids I took first thing before opening presents.

Christmas Eve

What better way to enjoy Christmas Eve than with a trip to The Christmas Place in Pigeon Forge followed by dinner at the Old Mill Restaurant!












The boys got to open a Christmas Eve present, a big set of building blocks. Caleb loves Legos (and he's really good at building with them for a 5 year old!), and he loves soldiers and rescue vehicles (i.e. firetrucks and ambulances), so he was really excited about this present! Malachi doesn't have the capacity for building that Caleb does, but he's happy just to put a few blocks together and pretend he built something. Eventually he'll figure out how to really build things!
