Merry Christmas!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!!!!!
Although we didn’t bake a cake this year, like we did last year, we still talked about Jesus’ birthday multiple times through this month and especially the days leading up to Christmas.  I’m sure I’ve told you that we don’t “do” Santa, but we aren’t Santa haters either.  There are numerous reasons for this, which I’m sure I shared last year or so, but long story short, we got up this morning to open the gifts from mommy and daddy, in order to show love in “giving” to celebrate Jesus’ birthday!

About this time, Meme, Poppy and Ben arrived at the house!  They come over every Christmas morning to watch Mia (now the girls!) open their Christmas gifts and to give them their gifts from them!

I think it’s safe to say that the Cabbage Patch baby they got her was a hit!!

After all of the gifts were opened, the guys cooked breakfast while the girls talked and played!!  So.Much.Fun.  We all had breakfast together and the girls cleaned up!!  Love, love, love my family!!  I am beyond blessed!

After Meme and Poppy left, we had to get ready to go have Christmas with Dave’s parents!

Papaw opening the gift we gave them!  Of course, a picture of 2 of the girls (the baby and the dog!  HA!)
