Merry Christmas Everyone

This Christmas season started out buttiful!  Aunt Holly and Uncle Brian sent out a very special first Christmas card.  Karley was a little too excited to see the "presents".  We can only imagine what next years Christmas card will look like.  I'm not sure how you really do top this.

I was lucky enough to bring back one of my Christmas presents from my parent's when we were home for Thanksgiving.  I was so excited that I wore them to church that following Sunday.  Karley also got to wear her newest outfit from Gimmy and Pappy.  It's not one of  her favorites.

I think this is my favorite part of my house, especially at Christmas time.  A big thanks to my Mother-in-law, Patty, for picking up the Santa Claus frame for me.

We have always spent Christmas Eve with the Byers' family.  This year we were all able to enjoy being with family and friends.  

Jose and his little brother, Chris.  They are the youngest and the oldest of the Byers' boys.

Christine, Misty, and Grandma Pat

Santa has landed at the Byers' house!!!  I know one little girl that will be very happy when she awakens.

When "Santa" is done at 2:00am you have to get a photo with all the lights on.  I just love these photos.  We are so blessed.

Karley with her presents before she tears into them.

And the opening begins.....

She is always taking my glasses because she "can't see."  Santa found some glasses that fit Karley.  Hopefully this will keep Mommy's from getting broken or coming up missing.

Santa even left Daddy a few presents this year.

New boots!  I think Santa is trying to prepare us for winter.

My presents where wrapped with specially made wrapping paper.  This is my snowman paper.  Each snowman had their own emotions.  I think I liked "grumpy snowman" the best.  

And we are done.  Now it's time to play!!

It's Christmas part 2.  We were able to get the boys a little early on the Saturday after Christmas.  Bubba had to work that evening so we had them come over early so that we could all open presents together.

After we opened up presents I had to run the vacuum.  This is what Karley did because she couldn't hear her movie.  She know also loves Ninja Turtles.  Jose is always Mike and she is April O'Neal.
