Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year to me!! I absolutely love seeing Christmas through the eyes of my children. To kick off our Christmas weekend, Ron and I took the kids to the Enchanted Forest to see Santa on Friday. Conner was prepared with his list and told Santa EVERYTHING he wanted. Ava, on the other hand, was a different story. She was absolutely terrified by him. After our visit with Santa, we came home and made homemade chex mix and other goodies and let the kids open presents from each other. It was a wonderful day!!
We spent Christmas Eve with Meme and Pops. We ate appetizers and exchanged presents and just enjoyed being together as a family. Before bed, we put out reindeer food and cookies for Santa.
Christmas morning Conner woke us up at 4:45. We tried so hard to get him to go back to sleep. After a few minutes, Ron and I both realized we were fighting a losing battle and got up to see what Santa had brought. Ava amazingly slept through all of it!!!! We finally woke her up at 8:00 and she opened her Santa loot!!
After a big breakfast, we spent the day at Ron's grandmother's house. I think it is such a neat experience for the kids to get to know a great grandparent. Christmas night we spent with Grandma and Pepaw opening presents and eating more Christmas goodies!!
But Christmas wouldnt be complete without a visit from Aunt Baba and Uncle CM. They came down the weekend after Christmas and we celebrated again with them at Meme's house!!!
We truly had a Merry Christmas!!
