Christmas!!

My mom came in this year for Christmas! It was so great to have her here. Because we were flying to Texas on Christmas Day this year, things were a bit different. We had our 'big meal on the 23rd since we had church on Christmas Eve. We tried to keep it simple because we knew we couldn't really eat many leftovers since we would be in Texas. 

We went to church on Christmas Eve. After we came home we let the kids open one gift (pajamas and a small toy) and we read from the Bible as well as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. We set out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. The kids were excited as could be!!

After the kids fell asleep Santa came and left great gifts for the kids!! Addyson got a Barbie camper, Katelyn got a Bitty Baby, and Nolan got a kitchen with a grill and pizza oven. They must have been good this year!!

Jason and I were startled awake at 3 am when Addyson and Katelyn were standing at our bed telling us what Santa had brought. We tried to put them in bed with us but that didn't work so they ended up on the couch watching Christmas movies. Kate fell asleep for a bit, but Addy never did :(  So at 6am I woke up to find them both playing with the toys Santa brought. Little sneaks....

We woke Mimi up so she wouldn't miss the action. Shortly after Nolan and Daddy got up to join the fun!

And this is the aftermath of present opening....a sad state of affairs! After I took this picture, we cleaned everything up, got dressed, and headed to the airport for our flight to Texas! Look at this cutie on the plane...

It was a great Christmas for the de Wolfe family. We have so much to be thankful for!!
