Christmas 2013

We had a really good Christmas this year, despite the fact that Miller had just gotten out of the hospital.  Thankfully I had finished all of my shopping early and didn't have to worry about that after we got home.  We decided to stick with our original plan and head North to Nashville.  We left Friday after Daniel got off work and spent the night at my parents' house.  We got to Nashville Saturday around lunchtime and left early Christmas Eve to head back so that Santa could visit our house!  The kids had a great time while we were there and so did the adults.  I wish we were able to visit more often!





Zonked out after opening presents!

Maddox and Owen Kate watched a lot of Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid while we were there!


We got back home just in time to take a bath and leave cookies for Santa.  The kids were exhausted from traveling all day so they went to bed really well!  The next morning I was up feeding Miller at about 6:45 in the living room when Maddox came down the stairs and saw that Santa had come.  He was so excited and was dying to go get Maclain up so they could open their presents.  Let's just say that Maclain was less than thrilled to be woken up and needed a little more sleep. ;)  Once she saw that she had presents, though, she perked right up and tore into them.  It was so much fun seeing their excitement.




This was the one thing he asked for and was so excited Santa brought it ;)


Maclain loves her Klip Klop stable

I love his expression when he opened this present!
Santa visited Miller, too, but Maddox and Maclain decided they needed to open her presents for her. :)  After all the excitement of presents she passed out in my arms...



We had a nice, relaxing morning playing with toys and hanging out before naptime.  Later that evening we all got ready and headed over to the Evers' for dinner with them.  We are so thankful they invited us over, and the food was so yummy!!

Merry Christmas!!
