Christmas Day!!


Christmas is always a favorite time of year at our house. Our days go something like this:
We head to Grandma & Grandpa Chatfields for the nativity. Then we head home to have dinner (which is usually soup) and to make cookies for Santa. During that time the "Elves" magically leave a gift on the porch for the kids. This year he left video games, which the kids spent the rest of the night playing until it was time for Santa to come.

The next morning, Trey & I couldn't wait so we went and woke-up the kids. They headed up the stairs to see if Santa had really come. He had and then we unwrapped each present 1 at a time. After this everyone gets dressed and we headed up to Chatfields for the gift exchange up there. The kids get to bring 1 of their favorite gifts to play. Somehow, every boy decided to bring their rocket. So the dads and boys launched while the moms and girls watched. It was really fun. We then had breakfast. When things start to settle down we head over to Trey's sisters place to see everyone. Then it is back home to either rest or play with toys. Then at about 5pm we head back to Chatfields to deep fry turkey and have dinner together. I love having family time and just being with great people. We are truly blessed to have so much family. Love you all and am grateful for all you do.
