We began our Christmas celebrations at lunch on Christmas Eve. Papaw and Granny came over to my parents house and we had a most delicious feast.
Who wants some sweet potatoes?! Lila does! I love this picture of my baby girl with my mom. Most of the time she sees the camera, she puts out this face...
So serious!
The big kids got to sit at their table and eat off of the good Christmas china. So glad to report that none of it was broken. They dined mostly on ham, beans and rolls. Jackson is so not into any sort of casserole. Broccoli Rice Casserole? Nope. Sweet Potato Casserole? Nope. Potato Salad? Not a chance. He even asked my mom to remove it from his plate!
We all had a good visit with Papaw and Granny and then it was time to open gifts!
The first gift was to all three great grandkids. It was this Frosty the Snowman book. It's not just any run-of-the-mill Frosty book, though. This one is so special. When you open it up, Papaw's voice is the one telling the story. He begins by saying, "I'd like to dedicate this book to Jackson, Lila and Madison." Then he reads them the story. Love it.
The girls discussing what they think is in this box. Hopefully something pink!
All three kids got to open one present from Gigi and Boom, too.
Jackson got this awesome transporter truck, which he loved! He told me over and over how it was the exact same one that he put on his Christmas Wish List. Good thing Santa's helper has a good memory!
Miss Lila got this fun little toy.
She was trying so hard to reach it. Just look at that determination!
Whew! Learning to crawl is so overrated.
After some good naps we got dressed up and headed to church. Needless to say, church with three kids is hard work. Like, really hard work. I bribed Jackson beforehand by telling him that if he was really good all through the service, I'd take him to get chicken nuggets at McDonalds afterwards. Let's just say I should have done the same for Maddie.
This picture pretty much sums up our time at church.
Chaotic is the best word I have to describe it. Lila was a little wiggle worm, Madison just wanted to be anywhere else and Jackson was trying
so hard to get those nuggets! Sort of like herding cats.
Family picture? Nah. Let it SNOW!!
