Our Christmas celebrations started on Christmas Eve. We visited with Clarence's mother Christmas Eve morning. Then, Christmas Eve night we visited Nana and Pops Miller at their house. Not everyone was able to be there when we were there, but the boys still had a great time playing with their cousins, Jaylen and Camden.

Christmas Day started with the boys opening their gifts from Santa and from Clarence and Me. By the time they were finished, our house was starting to look like a toy store. After we finished at home we went over to my parents' house where the boys opened more gifts. We made it there just in time to see my Godmother before she went to spend Christmas with her family. Isaac got to open a lot of presents at my parents house, but he received a big present this year... a brand new bicycle! It's too bad the weather has been too cold for him to want to stay outside very long to ride it. After we finished at my parents' house, we made one more stop. We finished the day with a visit to Clarence's Aunt and Uncle's house. The boys opened more gifts there, and Alex got his big present of the year...also a brand new bicycle! He was so excited too, but still has not been able to ride it for very long yet.
Isaac opening the Maxus Dragonoid that Santa brought. This was one of the main things Isaac wanted for Christmas.

Then our Three Days of Christmas wrapped up on Saturday with a visit with my father's side of the family. We all gathered at my cousin Donna's house, and it was nice to see everyone. My Aunt Shirley wasn't there this year, and I really missed her. She was in a motorcycle accident a few months back and hasn't completely recovered yet. Isaac and Alex got a few more presents, and the adults played a friendly game of Dirty Santa.

Alex was sitting at my feet playing with his toys, so I couldn't resist taking a picture
It's such a fun time of year! I love seeing my boys' faces light up when they open all their gifts. It's too bad this season only comes once a year!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
Clarence and I finished my long weekend with the Zac Brown Band Concert last night at the Ryman Auditorium. Check back for pictures of that awesome show! A HUGE thank you to my parents for giving us the tickets to the ZBB concert for Christmas! We had so much fun!
