Here Comes Santa Claus

We must have been VERY good this year because we had a wonderfully fantastic Christmas in all three places. Here's a recap...

We headed to Hattiesburg Thursday afternoon for our Christmas with my family. We drove out to see the Lewis Lights, then ate dinner with my parents and grandparents at 206 Front downtown. It was so nice!

We got up Christmas Eve morning and opened presents with my mom and dad, then when it was time to eat our lovely breakfast casserole, this happened...

The casserole dish literally exploded. It was crazy! Good thing it was on top of the stove and not in someone's arms when it happened. Anyways, except for the Christmas Casserole Dish Disaster, it was a great morning.

The celebration continued at my Granny and Pap's house Christmas Eve afternoon...

Then we wished Granny a Happy Early Birthday since she's a Christmas Day baby...

And we hit the road and finally made it back home with just enough time to relax by the fire for a little while before Santa's visit...

On Christmas Day morning, Derek and I exchanged gifts then walked across the street for Christnas coffee with the neighbors. "Baby" Brady's too cute!

Santa brought him his little Saints jersey. Is that not adorable?

Christmas Day afternoon we hit the road again for Christmas with Derek's family. Ryan Hadley couldn't wait to show us the four-story dollhouse that Santa brought her, along with all the Disney princesses...

Here are the two precious little cousins. Poor Frances was sick all weekend, but she tried to be a good sport.

Uncle Derek and Aunt Lizzie got Ryan Hadley the Woody doll from Toy Story 3 along with the DVD. She was so excited she couldn't wait to crawl up in her big girl bed and watch it. Uncle Derek even watched some of it with her.

Katie read RH a book about fireflies...

Then some of us went out to the Biscuit Company Saturday night to hear Seth Libbey, Reid Stone and Carey Hudson play. It was fun!

On Sunday morning, we went over to Mamaw's to eat lunch and play Dirty Santa, then we headed back to Jackson.

Did you feel the Christmas whirlwind? Wow.. busy few days. We had a GREAT Christmas, but I think all the traveling and going and going and going just wears you out after a while. I woke up with a little cold/sinus junk yesterday, so it was a good thing we were both off work today. We really needed the recovery time.

Until next time, I hope everyone had a good holiday. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! :)
