Getting ready for SANTA!

We made cookies for Santa at my mom and dad's house (aka nana and grandpa) on Christmas Eve.

My sweet boy!

Before and after pictures of the cookies!

Max LOVED decorating the cookies!

He got some help from his Uncle Michael and Darren!

A little bit of green.....

A little bit of red....

And wala! You have some BEAUTIFUL cookies all ready for Santa!

We left and headed home to get everything ready for Santa!

Max and Daddy wrote on the plate what we wanted to get from Santa!

Notice Daddy helped Max write EVERYTHING! LOL!

First we read Twas the Night Before Christmas.....

Then we played with Santa and his reindeers....

Then we read The Christmas Story! We must ALWAYS remember the TRUE meaning of Christmas!

Lastly.....we put Santa's cookies out for him!

Yummy! Hope Santa enjoyed his cookies!

What a wonderful Christmas Eve! We truly had a great day spending time with our families! I couldn't ask for a better day! God is so good to us! Now to celebrate his birthday! What an AMAZING gift he is!!!!

Christmas Eve fun with the Lawsons!

On Christmas Eve we celebrated Christmas with the Lawson family!

Max opening his present from Aunt Nicole, Uncle Taylor, Ethan, Wesley, and Sam. We draw names for the kiddos and that is who drew his name this year.

A Magnadoodle! YEAH!

We had Laney's name this year! She is opening her gift from us! A Elmo microwave! So much fun!

Max was super excited about Laney's microwave! Good thing we got him one too!

Opening one of his presents from grandmother and granddaddy Lawson! A bath toy!

SO CUTE!

Opening another present from grandmother and granddaddy Lawson! A Aquadoodle! Wahoo!

Checking out one of Linley's gift with Uncle Gregg!

Time to PLAY!

Max sharing with his cousin Laney!

Max and Sam checking out Laney's microwave! Notice Max NOT wanting to share in the bottom picture! He screams! AHHHHH! We need to work on that! LOL!

Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus! Then we got to eat some yummy cake!

Max and Daddy playing with the new Magnadoodle!

Linley and Laney got babies for Christmas! Must say they looked so cute playing with them! Never realized how women are born natural mothers!

Linley was teaching Max how to feed the baby! So cute!

Max picked up rather quickly! Note: Daddy was not so thrilled Max was playing with babies! LOL!

Family shot!

Quick picture of kiddos with the grandparents! We didn't get to have Wesley, Ethan, and Sam in the picture because they had left when we thought about taking pictures! We will have to get one next time!!!

Here is what Max got tonight!

What a fun time with family! Glad to share Christmas eve with all of you! We are so blessed to have such wonderful family! GOD IS SO GOOD!

Online Christmas!

We exchanged gifts with Amy and Cooper and Charity and Hannah last night. We did it over Skype (not sure spelling on this)....Anyways! It was so great to see Hannah and Charity! We miss them dearly! I actually got a little emotional! Imagine that....me emotional....now I know you are ALL laughing at that one.....

I just loved how the boys watched so closely! Max actually touched the screen at one point and said Hannah! That made me so sad and happy! Sad because he probably really misses his little friend! I know I do!

Cooper and Max opening their gifts from Hannah and Charity!

They ripped right into those things!

They got some soft puzzles and educational toys! Max has been playing with it non-stop....will post pics later!

Max moved on quickly to open the present Cooper and Amy got him!

Notice the excitement that it was an Elmo DVD and Elmo book!

Sorry for the glare...there is our sweet Hannah opening her gifts from us!

Max tore into my gift from Charity! My very own cupcake tower! Wahoo!

Cooper tearing into his present from us!

Cooper was really into opening the presents! I think he would have opened them all if we let him! LOL!

Max came over to help Cooper out!

How sweet are these two little boys!

Cooper was saying oh at the toy! TOO CUTE!

Wish we would have been all together in person! But I think it turned out pretty well! We miss you Charity and Hannah! Sorry Brennan and you too! LOL! Thanks for the wonderful gifts! We all LOVED everything you sent! A big THANKS to AMY too for our presents! Max and I loved what you gave us and THANKS for dinner too! You are the best! Don't know what I would do without you girls! Love you both!
