Christmas Day

Christmas morning was crazy! We opened up our gifts first thing and then went and got ready for church. The Laraways and the Shorts were both leaving right after church to head to the in-laws. It was Brooke's first Christmas. She obviously didn't understand what was going on, but it was still so much fun to have her there. Lydia understood more this year. She loves helping open the gifts. She would go from person to person and help them open their gifts. She didn't quite get to stay in one spot and we would give her more gifts that we hers to open. She was so much fun though. Brooke got a chair that matches the one Lydia got last year. Brooke looks so big sitting in it.After awhile Brooke just wanted to be down so we let her play in the swing.
We were definitely spoiled. Justin and I got stuff for the house. He got a new drill and bit set from me and I got a clothes hamper, step stool, and piano book from him. Santa gave Brooke a little dog that talks and he gave Lydia got a pack of play balls and a bouncy house. We gave Lydia some wooden blocks, bath toys, and some books. We gave Brooke a couple of outfits and then some new toys too. My parents spoiled us all too. Justin and I got a new weed eater and a picture frame, and a gift card to Kohls. Lydia got the Little People airport, fun park, and matching toys and Brooke got the Little People Noahs Ark and a new walker toy that she can play with once she learns to sit up too. They both got some other miscellaneous toys from my parents too! We were spoiled! Cammie and Dan got pictures of what they got for Christmas. My parents already sent the stuff to Georgia so they wouldn't have to pack it back so my mom just wrapped pictures of what she gave them so they would still have something to open.Nathan was funny opening gifts. He kept dancing and saying, "Go Nathan. Go Nathan. Oh yeah. Oh yeah." He was way funny.Jillian and Brady got some cute stuff for the baby.My parents and all of their gifts.We took our traditional pictures but the Christmas tree.

It was quite the challenge to get a picture of all five of them looking. We never succeeded. This is the best one we took.My grandparents Nuttall had their annual Christmas party at their house Christmas night. The only picture I got from there was this cute one of Brooke!It was such a fun Christmas. Having little kids definitely makes it so much more fun too!
