Merry Christmas!

This year we had another wonderful Christmas as a family, and only involved 6 different Christmas events.  We started out celebrating at my dad's house in Columbia.  Max had fun with Wesley and Ally and actually did great opening presents.  He basically opened his all by himself.

Christmas Eve we went to Aunt Jackies.  We always have a great time here and it does happen to be Max's favorite place to be(I think he likes it there more than being home...lol).  We eat a hodgepodge of food and then open presents(all while watching A Christmas Story).  Max loved his presents from Aunt Jackie, Uncle Paul, and Jacob.  My fav part of the night is the gag gifts.  This year Jacob was unable to get a deer so we came up with a kit to help him hunt.  I really think the flash underwear will help :)

Christmas morning was at our house(Scott's sister stayed the night, his dad, mom, and brother came in the morning).  After a lot of thought and talking with Mrs. Clause(she wanted to wrap Max's presents), Santa decided not to wrap Max's presents.  Santa never wrapped Scott's when he was a kid but he always wrapped mine.  When Max woke up we got the camera ready and let him to check out his Santa presents.  I was a little surprise but he really was excited!  I thought he may be still a little to young but I was wrong.  Max was pointing and saying WOW, and then really looking at what he got.  He even emptied out his stocking!  We ate a big breakfast and then opened the rest of our gifts. 

After finishing with presents, cleaning up, and then getting dressed we were off to Eagleville to Neen's house for lunch.  We ate yet another great meal and hung out with Scott's family.  Max had fallen asleep on the way there but woke when we got inside.  He was still tired and would keep walking to his pallet with any stuffed animal he could find and lay down.  But of course as he started to fall asleep he would jump up and run around again :)  He loved his gift from Neen.  It was a megabloks table.  He kept getting on the box and dancing...our little table dancer, LOL.  After Neen's we had a few hours to do nothing, Scott and Max napped, I read.  What was I reading you ask?  The hunger games trilogy, OMG I LOVE them!!  Now I loved twilight, but these are sooooo much better!  Yes I am a cheesy teenie bopper :)

Christmas night we went to Scott's mom's house.  Usually by this time we are zombies, this year was no exception.  We ate yet another meal, opened some gifts, and then hung out.  Max whose normal bed time is 8 was not going to fall asleep, but he couldn't even sit up.

Our last Christmas celebration was a few days after Christmas when Max's friends McKenna and Mason came over.  They had a ball playing together!   Scott and I also had fun with their parents. It is hard to get a picture of 3 toddlers though :)
