Christmas Day

Christmas Day is always a hectic day for us but we love every minute of it.  The kids spend the day opening gifts, eating lots of good food, playing with cousins, and visiting with lots of family. 

This year we decided to take one less trip by staying home in the morning and having Grandma and Uncle Tommy come over to our house.  The kids loved their company and spent the morning showing them what Santa and Mommy and Daddy gave them for Christmas.  After their visit, we got ready to head to over to Lolo and Lola Mia's house to have dinner to all the titas, titos and cousins.  While we were there, Dylan kept eying all the wrapped boxes and wanted to know when we were gonna get to open the gifts.  After dinner, the boys handed out gifts and waited patiently for theirs.  The kids were overwhelmed with all their toys and enjoyed playing with all their cousins.  The day didn't end there.  Surprisingly, the boys had more energy to head over to "Josh's house" as Dylan calls the Spurlin's house.  In the car ride over, Dylan tells Logan to make sure to keep his eyes open because he wanted to go to Josh's house.  (He knew that if they fell asleep in the car we'd end up going home.)  Dylan, more than anyone, was excited to go to Josh's house - who has every toy a boy could ever want!  Once we got to their house, Dylan disappeared in Josh's room while Logan literally hung onto Bella most of the night.  It was adorable to see the boys play with their cousins.

Overall, it was a great Christmas day filled with lots of laughs, love and memories.
