Christmas Day

Christmas morning started with the kids opening the gifts Santa left for them at our house. There was wrapping paper everywhere. I think Emmy enjoyed the paper more than anything else. After they were done opening their gifts we went to Travis' parents for Christmas Breakfast. This has been a traditional ever since I began dating Travis, I am sure it has been going on longer than that, but it is the best breakfast ever...I look forward to it every year. Travis' dad fixes a huge breakfast for everyone to eat before opening gifts. We had eggs, biscuits & gravy, sausage, bacon & my favorite...fried potatoes. Thanks Bobby for letting me & Tracey win on the potato/hash brown vote. It was delicious! After breakfast was the chaos of opening gifts with 5 kids! It was hard to keep up there was so much stuff. When that was over we sat around with Grammy & Papa until it was time to go to Aunt Frances' house for lunch and more gifts. She had a wonderful spread but we were so stuffed from breakfast we didn't really get to eat much. We had a great day and the kids got a ton of stuff. Thank you to all of our family for everything, we feel so blessed to have each of you in our lives. We love you all!

Levi was scared of Spike at first. Here is he watching him from the safety of the couch.

Here is one of my favorite gift I got this year. Robin Miller's Quick Fix Meals cookbook. If you look closely you can see that is my mother-in-law's face on the cover. She got one of these for all the girls.
