Twas the Night before Christmas ......



































































Christmas Eve... Where do I begin? First~ The kids have really snotty noses and bad coughs so that stunk but they acted like they felt okay every one has had or has this mess. We woke up and got ready to go to Gigi's and Poppops house (wes's parents) in Shelby. We did lunch and then Pop Pop read the Bible story and we wore necklaces with bells that were made and rang them and said we believe ... The kids loved this. Sage and Ryan couldn't wait. Sage is almost 3 and Ryan will be 4 this month. They were too funny. Sage wants to copy every thing Ryan does.. I mean everything. Sage doesn't care for sweets like cake etc but Ryan got choc eclair and so Sage wanted some so instead of starting an argument of wether he liked it or not I just let him see for himself. He said Ryan I don't like dis... Ryan said just makbelieve you do and eat it like me.. We died laughing.. Kids are so funny.. esp Ryan he is like an adult trapped inside a kids body.. After we ate we started with gift.. Talk about gifts.. This is a family with 7 children with husbands and wives and kids now.. there was noroom to walk literally... no where... We passed out gifts and watched the boys first... The boys got their first radio flyer scooter they loved them... They loved tearing into wrapping paper LOVED IT WAY TO MUCH.. I couldn't tell what all Sage got until they were done and I could look.. ha .... He got that scooter, a wilson baseball backpack with a leather glove and ball, a real tool set with REAL tools (I am nervous but sage loves it) .. , pj's, cloths, a metal dooly truck with a horse trailer loaded with horses and cows, a john deere tractor, books, games etc.. I cna't remember it all.. Marli got stuffed animals , a push toy she can ride on, a game for the tv by leapfrog, cloths, pj's , etc.. This was her first Christmas eve so that was special. Wes's sister Shelley is 5 mths prego and thats really neat that well have a new baby next year too for its first Christmas .. She finds out Jan 2 what the sex is.. We are just toooooo sad that her and Alex live in Texas.. like 2 days worth of driving away.. SUCKS!!! This was wes's brother JJ and Jens first Christmas as husband and wife. SWEET!!! Wes's grandmother Mama Happy flew her from TN to be with all of us this year.. We usually go there sometime in Dec so that was nice having her here with us.. After we left there around 4:30 we had to be at my mommas and Joels at 5 for early supper . We did Italian to change it up some ... We chose 5 so we could eat , open gifts play and get home at a decent time to bake cookies, wrap , and get ready for Santa. So we ate at mommas, then opened gifts Sage got his dump truck he has been wanting.. and some more wheeley to play with .. he loves those things.. pj's,dale earnhardt jr tractor trailor , Marli got pj's , a beautiuful piggy bank , a leapfrog toy with farm animals, a robe, ... We played then headed home .. Sage and I baked Santa some greatly decorated cookies with red and green m&m's ... Sage was just to excited.. Put out carrots for the raindeer then he decided to put out water for them too.. cute huh? We wrote Santa a letter and put it at the fire place with the cookies and milk. Sage had to test the milk and cookies too :) then I took some pics before bed of them in their Christmas Pj's and off the bed they went with a nice Christmas story... their asleep wonder whats Santas doing.. :)
