We had a fun celebrating the birth of Jesus and spending time with family this Christmas. We followed the usual tradition of having supper at my parents' house on Christmas Eve and then going to my Granny and Papa Buie's for Christmas lunch. We were so happy for Granny Mel to spend Christmas with us. Cassie's boyfriend Nick also came down, and we were glad to spend time with him as well.
Olivia and Owen have really been getting into Star Wars lately, so Owen was thrilled to receive a lightsaber from Uncle Sam. Olivia also got a lightsaber, so there have been a few epic battles going on around our house here lately.
Olivia has been asking for a trash can to go in her room for months now, so she was happy to finally get one.
Before going to bed, the kids laid out cookies and milk for Santa.
The cookies and milk must have put Santa in a good mood because he came bearing gifts. When the kids woke up (at 4 a.m.!) they discovered that good ole' St. Nick had left many nice things for them- including Skylanders Swap-force. Brian helped them set this up and they played it happily until this tired old mama woke up around 7.
Naturally, after I was awake and Granny Mel arrived, the kids wanted to unwrap the gifts under the tree. They were excited to see the gifts from Brian and I- a Nintendo 2DS. This was the gift that they had been asking for all season long, so they were thrilled to get it.
After another round of gift-opening at Granny Buie's house, we were all tuckered out. Poor Owen fell asleep on the couch. It was certainly a fun day, and we were so happy to spend it with loved ones.
