My children are so spoiled by their grandparents, that sometimes I am embarrassed to even blog about our 4 Christmases each year. If it weren't for my desire to document and journal our lives through this blog, I wouldn't go into such detail about all that we were blessed with this season. We truly are so blessed and lucky to have such loving and supportive and caring families. I know we could have it a lot worse. Sometimes we (jokingly)complain about how much my mom is ruining our kids with her spoiling, but really, we know that they are so lucky to even have a healthy and loving grandma in their lives, and not only one but 4 of them!!!
Our celebrations started out this year at our house with Grandma Kelly. It was such a wonderful day. It ended up being a few days before Christmas, so it was nice to sit back and take a day to relax after all the excitement and craziness of the holiday's we had already had.

I will never tire of watching my kids open up gifts. Their excitement is too much, I love their enthusiasm.
This boy didn't know what to think of all the excitement. He had the best seat in the house, though and just sat back and watched it all.
This little guy seemed to be pretty happy with his new scooter!!!
The best gift of the day was Ben's to my mom. He bought her a plain white T-shirt and a note that said, 'This is what the Florida State National Championship shirts will look like, because it's not gonna happen!!!' :) For those who aren't aware, Florida State (my mom's team) and Auburn (Ben's team) played this year for the College National Championship. Unfortunately it didn't end too well for our team, but....we won't get into that right now. At this point, the game hadn't happened and there was a lot of trash talk going around while grandma was here.
After presents, was a glorious day of playing with cousins...
And playing with our new toys with grandma: (and of course, watching football)

And it was a Christmas miracle! It snowed all day so by late afternoon, the kids were dying to head out...
Uncle Ben took them on some rides around the cul-de-sac...
Taylor wanted to pull her cousins for a few rounds. The girl is so funny!
This big boy desperately wanted to play with the big kids. I can tell he is already getting to that point in his life where he wishes he could do what they are doing. poor thing.
It was just a perfect day. Absolutely perfect. I'm so glad we got to spend the whole day with these peeps doing nothing but hanging out together, doing all of these fun things, dancing a little:
Oh, and of course, eating A TON!!!
Thanks grammy for all you do for us!
