Christmas Eve Night at HOME!

We made it home from our trip

to find a light snow fall at home!!!

Baby, it was so cold that the kids didn't

even care to get back in the snow!I just have to show Hadlee in her hat that

my first college roommate (Alison) made her...

probably my favorite baby gift that Hadlee received.

AND also the precious scarf that a sweet friend

(Caroline) from my school made her two years ago.

Then treat of all treats,

God Mommy's packages for Hadlee

and Baby Boy Love had arrived.

(Walker's hadn't made it yet!)We LOVE us some God Mommy!
It was really nice to be home on

Christmas Eve with just our little family.

We ate pizza, warmed up and then

opened a few presents. The kids started

out with what they got each other...HA! Yes, they both got each other a

RED Light Saber!

(The night Haddie and I wrapped her brother's gift,

he walked in the room and she showed him the

present and she said, "It's not a red light saber!" ha!)Haddie was so happy to finally

have one of her own!

Insert Star Wars theme song here...Daddy gave Walker a

VERY SPECIAL gift that night...A Red Ryder BB gun just like

Daddy had when he was Walker's age...This was a proud moment for T-Daddy Love!

Don't worry...Troy will take every single

precaution in the world to teach Walker about

this BB gun and it will always be put up safely!I LOVE MY GOOD LOOKIN' MANLY BOYS!!!

I gave Hadlee a VERY SPECIAL

gift on Christmas Eve, too!The BABY BROTHER doll...
AHHHHHHHHH...

Good Lord willing, soon this won't be a doll baby!

The kids also opened one gift for Baby Love...How funny that it was the same outfit

that God Mommy had sent him earlier that night!!! Just practicing...it has been a while!

Before bed that night, we were all sitting in the living room in front of the fire place and Hadlee and I were playing Memory. The wind made a noise in the chimney and Hadlee put her hands over her face in complete shock (it was ADORABLE!).

She and Walker both agreed it MUST have been Santa trying to come down the chimney, but he heard that we were still up (okay, so maybe I told them that!). Regardless, I've NEVER seen two kids gather up their things and head straight to bed as quick as they did! We read about Jesus's birthday and they were OUT!!!

(We won't even discuss Walker waking up from 1:30 to 2:30 IN THE MORNING begging to get up for the day!!!).
