Christmas Morning

Christmas morning Eli was up before the rooster crowed and soon so was everybody else. 
Blurry morning run of excitement! 
When your teenage daughter feels the hot sauce you buy isn't hot enough, you get her 100 different samples of hot sauce packets for Christmas. 







I didn't take one single picture after the morning excitement, but he had a wonderful BBQ lunch with family and great Christmas. 

Christmas Eve

 After church we came home and had dinner, took a few pictures in front of the Christmas tree and then thr kids opened their presents from each other. Sibling presents has become a tradition, every year the kids buy gifts for each other and then they open them Christmas eve after Bradely reads the Christmas story.

Emory got Eli his very own big chair to watch their soccer games in! 
The boys gave Emory a hamburger ornament. 
Emory picked out this knife set for Cason. 
Cason gave Emory her very own tackle box and an assortment of lures, so she'd stop borrowing and losing his! She is the queen of catching trees! 

Emory got Eli his very own machete, not sure how I feel about this one. 

Anybody see Cason? He received a new guillie suit from Eli!

Our first ever artificial family room tree. The drought adn being late to get a real one equaled a fake tree this year. It looks so small! 

We re-made a picture I took from 2017. They have grown so much!
We had a great Christmas eve celebrating Jesus's birth!

Christmas Eve Service

Christmas Eve we attended the Christmas Eve candlelight service, which is one of my favorite Christmas traditions.

Santa Land 2024

We took our annual trip to Santa Land a few days before Christmas! They had a few new light displays this year and we had a good time seeing the new and old lights.
