Christmas 2012 Part 2

Christmas Part 2! After my little angels finished up with our church activities, we headed to Brad and Kiera's house for a delicious meal. While the meal was getting prepared, Kiera put on some Christmas music and the kids had a dance party! James is so funny when he dances! He really gets into it! We decided to feed the kids first and then the adults sat down to a delicious meal while the kids watched a movie and patiently waited to open up 1 present! Sweet cousins! We are so blessed to have family so close to us! Jackson loves his cousins so much and is always so excited when he gets to play with them! Dance party! After we finished dinner, the kids went outiside to leave some reindeer food for the reindeers to munch on while Santa delivers the presents!
After much anticipation, the kids finally got to open up 1 present! James got a guitar.
Mary got some neo tracks.
Jackson got his first star wars toy! After our last visit to Noni and Grandaddy's over Thanksgiving, Jackson really got into playing with his daddy's old star wars toys. Now he has started his own collection!
Becket hanging out!
After the excitement of the first present, we tried to get the kids to calm down and hear Uncle Brad tell the story of baby Jesus. I think we waited a little too late!
We headed home after a wonderful Christmas Eve and Jackson left some reindeer food at our house so Santa knew to stop here!
We also left him some cookies and of course....chocolate milk, which Jackson thought Santa would enjoy more than regular milk. :)
Santa came! Jackson was so excited to see that Santa brought him everything on his list! He even brought him some bonus toys for being such a great big brother!
Beckett looking at all of the new toys!
Then the unwrapping began! It took us most of the day, but the kids opened every last present! It was such a wonderful Christmas!!
Jackson holding up another Star Wars ship! When I asked Jackson what his favorite present was this year, he said "All of them!" 
All the grandkids! Mary, 4 1/2, Ben 2 1/2 months, Becket 1, Jackson 4, and James 2.We are so blessed to have all these sweet, healthy, happy children in our family!

My heart burst with joy to spend Christmas and before with my family. Christmas through the eyes of children is always special (my 2 big guys and the 5 along with 2 beautiful brides). You always make sure we are part of the celebration. I agree we are lucky to have both families together. The more often the better! Love and may God contiunue to bless our family in 2013.
