Christmas Day

Christmas this year was so hectic.  I’m not sure if it was because of the new baby or what, but Amma and I were last minute on just about everything.  I don’t know why I had coordinating wrapping paper for my trees when I didn’t get anything wrapped in time to go under the tree.  I’ve vowed to do way better next year.  I’ve never been ready for Christmas to be over, but this year I was over it pretty early! Luckily by Christmas Day, everything was done.  We had Christmas breakfast at Amma and Granddad’s house, and it was so good.  Granddad Mike makes the best biscuits from scratch!  We opened presents with Granny Martha and Granddaddy Charlie and tried to get some family photos afterwards.  Charley was over it, too!  Christmas is so hard on little ones and their emotions....kind of like it is for the Momma’s.  Its a constant roller coaster of excitement, getting ready, going places, hurrying here and there, taking pictures, cooking, baking, eating, playing, wrapping presents, opening presents, waiting on people...it’s exhausting!  Considering the jam packed week of celebrating, the melt downs were pretty minimal.  One of the sweetest things this year was that Charley wrote on every single name tag for our Christmas gifts...it took forever...but worth it to see how excited she was to help!

This little meltdown is when I told her to high chair and cradle were red and not pink.   

Carter got a learning toy and money for her Gwen Moss pictures.  Charley got a jogging stroller for her babies, cradle, high chair, rain boots, and rain jacket.  She also got a black eye on Christmas Eve playing a ridiculous game with her cousins.  Oh, and Daddy got a haircut that made me pretty irritated most of Christmas...and today, now that I am seeing the pictures again!  Merry Christmas!
