Our Christmases

How is it that Christmas, and the busiest time of the year, is over and I can't seem to find time to sit and even check my e-mail!? Oh yeah, we have a 3 year old that has gotten way too much from family, friends, and Santa this past christmas and we have been putting together toys, tracks, and everything in between for the past 4 days! We had a wonderful Christmas with both of our families! I am not going to put all of our Christmas Pictures on here because there are just way too many! But I will put a few from each of our Family Christmas's.

We had my families Chrsitmases on Thursday, Chrsitmas Eve. We opened presents as a family earlier in the afternoon. We all got way too much stuff. My mom doesn't seem to understand the concept of 'nothing'. We also had a visit from Santa Claus at my parents house! He came and handed out special presents to each of us! It was a wonderful surprise to Gavin and he enjoyed every minute of it! After presents we all headed over to my Matt & Ashley's home for an Open House Christmas Eve Party that they were having for both sides of our family! It was perfect for us because we got to see everyone we loved on Christmas and didn't have to travel from house to house!

Christmas Morning Gavin slept in until 8:30am! I was shocked! When he woke up he went straight to the Christmas Tree. He took one look at it and then looked at Dave and myself and said, "Santa was here. He left some stuff for me." It was so nonchalant too! We then opened all of the Santa presents one by one! Dave videotaped and I took pictures. It was the perfect Christmas Morning. All of Gavin's reactions to every gift he opened were like this one below! It was precious!----------

Christmas Day we spent at Mom and Dad VV's. We all wore comfy clothes and relaxed all day! There was also a visit from Santa there :) Except it was papa who played santa! haha. This Santa Suit cracks me up!Kristin brought stuff for the kids to make gingerbread houses out of graham crackers! The kids had fun doing it and so did the adults! Here is Gavin's;

It was a wonderful Christmas!
