Christmas Evening

For dinner, we headed over to Mimi and Pops house. We were happy to spend more time with my grandparents.

Christmas Morning

I'm up at 7. Can't wait for the kids to wake up and see what Santa brought!

Maddox finally wakes up around 7:30 and can't believe his eyes!

A kitchen for him and his sister.A big red 4 wheeler for him and a little pink one for Briley

The toy library that he asked for!!

Briley finally wakes up and has no idea what is going on!

She figures it out really fast. The favorite things in her stocking- a new toothbrush and toothpaste!

Sticking with the tradition I grew up with, our family came over for brunch at 10(ish)!

This year we had Katie and Jeremy, Bae and Grandad, Mimi and Pop, Grandmother and Grandoc Hunt, Granny and Grandaddy Bethea.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service at SHBC

Snowshoe, WV

We spent Thursday night in Pensacola, flew to Atlanta Friday morning, and got stuck in Atlanta with no luggage Friday night (because of an icy runway in WVa) with a baby wearing diarrhea stained pants (because of the antibiotic for an ear infection she was on). We rented a car, booked a hotel, drove to wal-mart, bought clean clothes, and met Krista at cool place called Atlantic Station.

Finally made it to Lewisburg, West Virginia Friday at noon.

We drove 2 hours up the mountain to Snowshoe Mountain Resort. They had maybe 2 feet of snow and it was beautiful! The whole place looks like a Christmas tree farm!

This was the view from our back porch. Well, actually through the window. We couldn't open the door to the back porch because the snow was piled very high out there! You can see one of the ski lifts and one of the slopes.

The kids really, really loved the snow! The temperature was in the 20s during the day. They got bundled up and played and played!

Briley wasn't too fond of the mittens!

Aunt Katie joined us a couple of days later. We loved having her there, and Britt really enjoyed having a ski partner.

We rented these skis for Maddox, but he didn't really ski. He would much rather go sledding and tubing. I was so proud of him for trying, though!

I'm glad I was able to do a little sledding and tubing despite being pregnant!

Aren't these the cutest little pink snow boots? She loved them and even learned how to put them on herself! Such a girl!

We had a great time and were ready to be home just in time for Christmas!
