This was our 1st Christmas together as a family and Garrett's 2nd Christmas and I have to say it was a blast! I have had so much fun this year starting our own traditions and practicing the old ones, looking back on all the good memories of when Adam & I were children and making new ones together! Now our family has basically had 3 Christmas's so I'll share with you each one alittle bit!
Poppy & Nana's house: We went to my In-laws on Christmas Eve and had dinner with the family and then gathered around and opened presents! Adam & I received a movie rental gift card and all the goodies in the world one would need to enjoy a movie & the greatest couples devotional book that starts Jan 1st! Can't wait...Adam's as crazy about it as I am! My brother-n-law got me a candle and body wash they both smell amazing and he got Adam the family guy seasons...he is now Adam's hero! My sister-n-law got me the sweetest picture with an amazing saying about God & last but not least Garrett got a piggy bank from aunt Georgi and soccer goal & ball from uncle Eric blocks, a lamb, devotional book, and recliner chair from Nana & poppy! We had a great Christmas there!
Garrett just loves the train that runs around Nana & poppy's tree!
uncle Eric giving aunt Georgi her Christmas present...(it's not a cooler that's just how Eric wraps!)
Garrett loves his soccer ball he's been kicking it everywhere & I can't say enough about that recliner he looks so cute sitting in it!
We love you Nana & Poppy, aunt Georgi & uncle Eric!
Daddy & Mommy's house:Well the night before Garrett and mommy lay ed out Christmas cookies for Santa and went to bed early so Santa would come and leave presents and that's exactly what happened! Santa left a kitchen set and food for the kitchen for Garrett and left stockings for all of us
Garrett was so excited to open his stocking!
among all the goodies in Garrett's stockings were these two t-shirts! Wow Santa must know this family very well.
After we all opened our stockings Garrett got to start opening presents from mommy & daddy! He got a rocking horse, blocks {different from Nana's}, a vacuum that talks, a big truck, movies and other toys. Daddy got mommy ear rings, a UNC shirt {ha}, Signs so I can hang everywhere, ornaments and Mommy got daddy two hats, a dress shirt, gift card, business card holder, picture frame! I guess you can say we had a Great 1st Christmas!
Garrett thought he could ride this truck like he does his other!
Adam modeling one of his new hats! {he got a UNC one too}
After opening all those presents Adam made us a huge breakfast of biscuits and gravy, bacon, eggs, orange juice & hot chocolate........{MMM good} But after all that food we had to lay around and rest before we headed off to our 3rd Christmas in Wilson!
Gran & Pa's house: We arrived in Wilson about 5:30 about the time people were beginning to eat! There was tons of food and tons of family it really was a great turn out! Garrett had most of his little cousins to play with so you can say I didn't see him much! After a little bit of fellowship we opened presents! Garrett got a Christmas book, gift card, and flashlight {thank you Gran & Pa} Adam & I got a coin counter, Thermos for coffee, spoon holder and gift card! We spent the night and went home the next morning! We had a blast and can't wait for next year!
