When the kids woke up, they went into Lawson's room and knocked on one of her walls that connects to our room. We tried this with them last year...gives us a chance to grab our cameras and meet them in the living room. I'm still suprised that they have the composure to actually work this plan!
Lawson's Loot!
Hudson's Loot (he had a note on the wall from Santa telling him that he had to leave his basketball goal in the garage)
Here they come!
They are funny! They always barely acknowledge the big things are go straight to digging in the stockings!
Once Lawson tried out her new fuzzy blue chair she did not come out of the chair for the rest of the morning! Even took it out in the driveway when we took Hudson out to test drive his bike! You will see in the next post...the chair traveled with us to Texarkana and Little Rock too!
Pretty sure Lawson has more make-up now than I do!
Santa did not dissapoint!
About noon, we packed up and drove to Mimi and Doo Dad's in Texarkana.
Everyone in my family was there except for Brady (missed you!) and it was such a special time!
Love that my mom has started such fun traditions with the kids. She has someone read the Christmas story (Rob was the designated reader this year) from the huge family bible. Meanwhile the kids reinact the story with Mimi's nativity figurines. She always bakes Jesus and birthday cake and we all sing Happy Birthday to Jesus.
LOVE Lawson's face in the pic!
The the present opening began! (Note: Hudson checking himself out in the mirror! Funny!)
Hudson was pretty freaked out by Aunt Steph wrapping his present in the Justice box! He is a girl-a-phone these days! And he knows that Justice is pure girl!
Batman forever!
Love ROB's expression in this pic! Man I captured some priceless expressions this year!
And then there is always wonderful food! Janie Beards Chicken Tortilla soup and these little baked buttery poppy seed sandwiches!
Then it was time to check out the new stuff!
And snuggle!
All 8 grandkids in one place. One is hiding and one is crying but you can see 3/4 are representing! Not too bad when working with 8 kids!
Merry Christmas to all! And to all a goodnight! Long, full, wonderful day!
