Parker's First Christmas

Christmas was so much fun this year. I can only imagine how much more fun it will get over the years as Parker gets older. Parker enjoyed all the different festivities throughout the season.  We had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas.

On Christmas Eve our church had an AWESOME Christmas Eve service. After the service, we had dinner at Mom and Dad's with family. Christmas morning was spent at our house.

Every Christmas Eve, our neighbors, The Harris' give us country ham, peppered bacon, & stone-ground grits. It has become our tradition to make Christmas Morning breakfast with the yummy goodies they give us. Daron fixed an amazing breakfast for us. After breakfast, we opened our gifts. It was so much fun to watch Parker "open" his gifts. Of course he didn't really understand the present opening, but he did like it and he seemed geniunely interested in each gift that I helped him open. Daron had gone the day after Thanksgiving and bought a flat screen TV for our family gift. Daron got a GPS system and I got a Shark Steam Mop and a remote control for our new TV. Parker got a sea horse that glows, a talking book, and some stocking stuffers. Mom, Dad, and Justin came over and we grilled steaks for lunch.

Christmas Night, we went over to Mom and Dad's house to open our gifts. Parker loaded up with gifts from Aunt Jody, Uncle Phillip, Uncle Justin, and Gram and Pops. He got a wagon complete with John Deere decals from Uncle Phillip and Aunt Jody. A Smart-E bear, a Little Tikes Nativity set, a Bible, and much, much more from Gram and Pops. He got a cool bumble ball that lights up and talks from Uncle Justin. Mom and Dad got me a sewing machine! I was sooo excited. I've been wanting to take up sewing for a while now. Hopefully, I can find the time to start a new hobby soon.

We had a wonderful Christmas Season. Because there were so many pictures, I decided to put them into a slideshow. Enjoy!
