Christmas Fun

We had a wonderful Christmas. The festivities started early this year. Our first celebration was a neighborhood Christmas party at the poolhouse. Santa and Mrs. Claus were there. As you can see neither of the boys were interested in sitting on Santa's lap.

Tanner did have fun practicing his standing while we were there. Hard to believe it is just a few weeks later and he is now walking everywhere!

Our next stop was the Alabaster Christmas Parade. It was freezing but we had fun.

Hayes was fascinated by the parade

The next thing on the list was picking out our tree. Hayes isn't sure this tree is the right one for us

Then Anne came over to exchange presents. Tanner couldn't wait to open his

They also wanted to help Anne open her presents

Hayes got some Thomas trains and couldn't wait to play with them. He is very serious about lining them up just right

Tanner got a cute hippo that gobbles up blocks when you push it. He loves pushing it around the house!

The boys got to open one present each on Christmas Eve. They both received Christmas pajamas and a new Christmas book. Hayes loves his Frosty the Snowman book

And Tanner looks excited about his new big boy pajamas

Here are my two sweeties under the tree on Christmas Eve

Tanner checking out his new phone. Now he can stop using ours :)

He also loves his new horse Legacy

Hayes got a new train table and both boys love it!

The day after Christmas John and Phoebe came over to exchange presents. Hayes and got Tanner got a play tent with tunnel to crawl through. Hayes is hiding in it but won't let anybody else in


We had a great time celebrating Jesus' birth. It is so wonderful to see Christmas through the eyes of children. We hope you all had a great Christmas too!
