Christmas Day

Growing up, my sisters and I would spend Christmas Eve sleeping in the same room, watching movies and falling asleep to the curiosity of what Santa would bring us!  As we’ve grown and started families of our own, we’ve been forced to one by one end this tradition.  With the arrival of Anderson next year, John and I spent our last Christmas Eve at my parents this year!  I couldn’t help but be a little sad but I look forward to starting traditions with Anderson and future kids to come.

Christmas Morning, we woke up at our respective houses and headed to mom and dads to start the day. Santa has never wrapped presents but a few years back my mom {with the help of Amy} starting using these adorable Santa sacks to hold all our gifts.  This year we added 4 more sacks- John, Alex, Anna West and Mak!  {Mom also snuck and showed me the one Amy already made for Anderson too!!}We enjoyed breakfast casserole, bacon and coffee while waiting for The Duprees and The Kubas’One baby couldn’t stay awake while the other was wide awake!  The kids start opening first- they are always too excited to wait!Mom and Dad spoiled us all as well as each other as usual!  We packed up and made our way to Camden to see Grandma and Granddaddy Sheheen before going our different ways to celebrate with in-laws!  Christmas night we met back up again at mom and dad’s to eat and visit with my dads side!  It was a wonderful Christmas and we were so blessed to share it with all our family!
