We had a lovely Christmas. We normally go down to Georgia to see the Harrison side of the family for a few days before Christmas and drive home Christmas Eve to celebrate here on Christmas morning. This year was a little different because Seth really needed to work so we went down the day after instead for the weekend. So it went like this:
Christmas morning here: The kids got up around 8 and we had a relaxing time opening presents. One of my favorite parts was watching Annabelle get her kitchen mainly because the boys were just as excited FOR her as they have known for a while she would be getting it. Adam was the most interested in the aquarium Seth got for them. He can't wait to fill it with fish and spent the day preparing the tank for them with Seth.
Christmas Evening: We went to my family's house for dinner and presents. It was delicious and we got Season passes to Dollywood again from them. Thank you!!!! Aunt Leslie didn't get to make it this year because of work so we were all in mourning over that. We sure did miss her. Mimi worked herself to death with everything and ended up sick with .......you guessed it........pneumonia, the next day. She got some meds and is on the mend now. Talk about super woman who can prepare a feast and gathering like that despite being that sick. (BTW, we didn't realise how bad off she was or we would have put her to bed right away)
Annabelle got a huge kick out of wearing a dress that matched Kiah.
Thank you Aunt Angie for the awesome hand-me-downs!

Aunt Leslie sent the boys marshmallow guns. They love them!
Granny, Papaw, Aunt Karen and Uncle Gary all come to dinner as well.
Friday: Headed off to GA and had dinner and present time with the Harrisons that evening. The weekend was relaxing and fun. When we go down there for a visit, the boys are literally off and gone for the weekend playing nicely with their cousins. Walker and Caleb pair off and play while Amy and Adam are together somewhere else. It is so nice for them to be so happy and occupied. Annabelle spent her time entertaining everyone with singing, dancing and other funny stuff. She is quite the entertainer and loves to be the center of attention!
The kids table
Have I mentioned how cute Aaron is? 18 months old, all boy and reminds me SOOOOO much of Caleb and Adam.
Annabelle LOOOVES her Uncle Johnny! She immediately took her presents that needed to be put together to him so he could help her out. See that face she is making? She does that all of the time. I have to get a better picture of it.

Sounds like a good Christmas.
How are you feeling these days? Better, I hope.
A little girl getting her kitchen is a very big Christmas. I love that your boys were so excited for her!
o a kitchen, I really want a play kitchen at our house one day, but we need a girl really for that.
Your family always looks so fun. That fireplace is the greatest background for pictures that i've ever seen. Can we come and take our family picture there?
So glad you are feeling good again and that you guys got to enjoy the holiday, I'm sure you needed that.
Oh your poor Mom! That is the worst when the mom is sick, especially on Christmas.
It looks like it was an awesome Christmas, otherwise, though. I can't wait to see some footage of Annabelle cooking in her new kitchen. No pressure.
you guys look like you had a great time for Christmas! Your Family is beautiful and I'm glad you had a relaxing Christmas. Maybe we should take some lessons from you.
