Christmas with our family

My grandma, affectionately known as Gaga, unbenonst to us, never had a stocking to open on Christmas morning. Dad and Lori made sure she would have one this year. On another note, if you take the first couple letters of Gabriella Grace, it's real close to Gaga ~ if she is as spunky as Gaga, our entire family will have our hands full ~ in a good way:)

The little elves passing out all the Christmas gifts.

We were all so blessed on Christmas at Papaw and Grandma's. We all have each other, our health and a family that continues to grow. Tiana, the beautiful young lady with the pink box will be my new sister in law next year ~ she said yes when Clint proposed and the entire family is thrilled! Welcome to the family Tiana and Landon!

Uncle Denny is teaching Nicholas how to play his new guitar he received from Santa Christmas morning. Nicholas, you will be able to play it just as pretty as Uncle Denny is after you get started on your guitar lessons.

Christmas morning at home

For the first time in 21 years we celebrated Christmas morning in our home. Normally we celebrate here on Christmas Eve morning however, for a variety of reasons it was different this year. We had a warm cozy fire in the fireplace, Christmas music playing on the stereo, biscuits and gravy for breakfast and most of all a wonderful time enjoying our family.
Merry Christmas and good morning even though I'm not quite awake yet.

Is this really what I think it is? Are you serious?

Ohhhh my gosh! It's a cell phone! My very own cell phone!
I thought I had to wait until I was 12 years old for this!

I can't believe this is really happening!

It's mine! I have a cell phone! Thank you soooooo much mom and dad! Now I can reach out and touch everyone...and he has!

Ok, so we told mom and dad we thought he was totally spoiled getting a cell phone a year earlier than what our family rule is, but he is pretty excited and sort of cute while he is opening it.

Hey, is this what I think it is?

YES! Santa brought me the video recorder that I really wanted!!

Alright!! A George For*man grill! I said I needed to learn how to cook and thought this would be cool ~ guess it's time to start cooking:)
