Christmas Night

This year we celebrated Christmas with all 31 of us at Grandma and Grandpa's new house in Oneida. It was so much fun to all be together and mamaw even had a fun little game for us to play as a whole group!

Christmas Day at Nannie's

This year we traveled to Nannie's house on Christmas for lunch and presents. The kids were spoiled of course and had so much fun playing with their cousins and opening their new toys!

 She got this new quilt and book from Nannie and just snuggled right up with daddy! I'm pretty sure they read this same book about six times!

Christmas Morning

Our kids are at a pretty great age right now to really enjoy the magic of Christmas. They get so excited about the decorating, reading part of the nativity story every night, the baking, the wrapping, the presents, the family time, the food, the anticipation of Jesus' birthday. Christmas morning was pretty great this year!

 Blaine Butler was the first one awake this year and he got to be the first one to see the Polar Express train that was under our tree! He even got to control it!

 Just patiently waiting for his brother and sister to wake up. He ended up going up with daddy and waking them up.

 He was so excited about this cleaning set and has already been cleaning throughout the house!

 Ali Kay was not quite awake but was pretty excited to see that she got a frozen castle!

 I made the kids and daddy a family ABC photo book. It was pretty fun to see them open it and read through it!

Now it's Ali Kay's turn to control the train.

Christmas Eve

We spent another evening at Bill and Gale's house but this time with the whole Tucker family. It was loud, crowded, and so much fun!

Blaine was cold, so he went and put his coat on before opening presents.

 Some great candid moments during picture time! Our kids were getting a little cranky and tired!

Swedish Sausage

Every since we moved back "home" we have been able to help with making Swedish sausage for Christmas night at Grandma and Grandpa's house. This year, we got to help at their new house! Bryce cranked the whole time, and refused to give up until it was done!
