Christmas Photos

I'm FINALLY getting around to posting the pictures from Christmas. I was hoping to edit some videos too, but that's obviously not going to happen. LOL!

The advent calendar was a big hit. I think I had just as much fun with it as Sam did.

He got really good at following the directions for the Lego sets.

This is the tree on Christmas Eve. We got a new tree this year - 9' instead of 7'. It's amazing how many more ornaments it takes to decorate that extra two feet! Momma and Aunt Sharon helped out by giving us lots of ornaments (old and new). Sam even made lots of new ones to hang on the tree.

Mimi didn't leave for Mississippi until Christmas day, so we got to see her for Christmas Eve. Yay!

Ben loved the ornaments. He did a lot better with the tree than I expected. He broke a few of them, but they all went back together with superglue. He was especially fascinated with the ones that made noise.

It was quite the Christmas Eve celebration with Lulu, Andrea, Eric (and Lucy)!

The boys were thrilled to start opening gifts.

Once Ben got started he didn't want to stop.

I loved my pine cone ornaments that Sam and Lulu made for me!

"Merry Christmas, Mister! It's a coffee maker!" (Yes, he really said that, before Andrea even started unwrapping it.)

Sock Monkey!

Colored fizzy bath tablets and bath foam were a big hit and the only reason we could convince them to get in the bath!

Christmas morning ...

Stockings!

Presents!

Playing with all the new toys!

Christmas with Pops. More Christmas? Heck yeah!
