Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day 2020

We kicked things off early!  The kids set their alarm clocks for 6 or 6:30 and were up and ready to see what Santa brought.  Mav was still sleepy, along with me and Jared.

Santa brought this funny antler ring toss game...

and Jared brought many laughs when he joined us wearing his moose costume!  Ha!

The biggest oohs and ahhs came from Cami's new gymnastics bar and mat.  So cool. 
She's one flippin' little gal.

Santa also brought new scooters for both girls--Lila's is electric and Cami's lights up.

Jackson got all sorts of neat things, including Air Pods, Oakleys, a silver cross necklace and this funny shirt from The Office, since it's his new favorite show.

The kids loved their stockings, too, and found all sorts of fun things in them...

like these awesome socks with Maverick's picture on them!

Speaking of Mav, he was one happy boy, chewing away on his super-sized bone.

We all opened our gifts from each other, which included a week at Sky Ranch for both of these kids.  They love it so much and are thrilled to be going back again this summer with their friends.

A few hours later, we were ready to welcome the Raines family for brunch. 
Cutest cousins ever is my caption for this picture.

Madison gave Lila a necklace and earrings from Kendra Scott.  I love it that they both are old enough to appreciate nicer gifts that come in small packages.  Lila was so thankful.

Miss Lilly is at such a precious age, too.  We had fun picking out toys for her, and she especially liked this talking dinosaur.

A few hours later, we were at the Hays home for dinner. 
weet Baby Mason was loving his very first Christmas.

Mewaw's house was full of delicious food and sweet family.  

Cami loved playing the piano with Aunt Lyndsie's mom, Tonya.

And Jackson enjoyed hanging out with his uncles and grandpa.

It was a lovely evening with my kiddos...

and our family.

Aunt Lyndsie brought the kids some cookies to decorate themselves.

We had an excellent meal that included beef tenderloin...

and then got to opening the gifts.

Connor and Mason liked their sloths!

And Jackson and Lila loved their new shoes.

It was a Merry Christmas indeed!
