Again, the "no-earlier-than 7am" wake up time was placed in effect at our house! And at 7 am Hudson came into our room wanting to know if he could wake up Lawson and see what Santa had brought! (Good thing we had called our little Santa Hunter off last night and made him go to bed so Santa could safely make his deliveries!) Remembering that before phones or messaging devices and when our bedroom was on the other side of the house from the kids, we used to have them bang on the wall that was shared between their room and ours to let us know that they were up and headed to the living room to see what Santa had brought! Because we wanted to be in their to capture their reactions! I think that is what you call "old school"...that was like so " 2009"!
Santa did not dissapoint! Lawson got a new bike, a vera bradley duffle bag, a new stuffed animal from Clear Water Marine Aquarium, Lokai bracelets and American Girl Doll clothes/accessories.
Hudson got a new nerf gun, a video drone, playstation games and a Golden State Warriors hat with Steph Curry's autograph embroidered on it!
Christmas is SO beautiful and SO messy! Anyone feel me?
It was a beautiful Christmas morning so we went out to watch Hudson fly his new drone and went on a bike ride to try out Lawson's new bike!
Landry and Ashley were amazing hosts for our family Christmas get together this year due to the fact that mom had been helping Valerie and Brady in Houston until 2 days before Christmas Eve!
We read the Christmas Story every year and the kids act out the story with mom's custom nativity characters she made 30 years ago! They are the cutest things you have ever seen! Love, love, love them! All the clothes are custom. All facial features are hand stiched. She poured hours into these figures!
The kids always really enjoy this...but I won't lie there are usually a few tears over the role they have been assigned!
Then we have birthday cake and since "Happy Birthday to Jesus"!
Then we open presents!
Then the playing commenced. The girls put on makeup and costumes and planned a show. The boys looked for ways to spy and chase them. Just the usual! Hudson did a few of his magic tricks.
Fun family pics! Love "naughty" Reese in this pic...pretty sure she learned this face from her dad!
Love this one of me and Ash trying out our new shaws/scarfs mom gave us for Christmas so I thoguth I would throw it in too. Steph had one too but she was busy on Gibson duty and didn't make the pic.
Check out the wild Christmas Weather we had this year! It was a long, full wonderful day!
