Four Christmases

We had a wonderful Christmas! It was so much fun this year with the kids!! They loved every bit of it and it was a blast watching them have the time of their lives!

Our Christmas adventures began in Prosperity and Newberry. We spent Christmas Eve with Nanny and Poppie and then the Harmon crew. Santa delivered tricycles to Nanny and Poppie's house so the kids were very excited about that!! And, to say that Elizabeth and Mary Frances loved their dress up things would be an understatement...here are a few pictures from Christmas #1...
Here is a short clip of the kids when they first saw their tricycles that they have been asking for all year long...

After leaving Newberry, we headed to Sumter to get ready for Santa...in the car, Elizabeth decided to use her new stickers she'd gotten from Aunt Sharon to make a sticker book on the car window while John Bradley and Mary Frances slept. Take a look...she was very proud of her work. We arrived in Sumter around 9:30 pm Christmas Eve to get ready for Santa. Mary Frances and John Bradley were too worn out to do anything so Elizabeth left the cookies and milk out for Santa. She did a good job because Santa showed up. Here are pictures from Christmas #2.

Santa was so nice to give all the adults new teeth for Christmas. He went all out this year. Christmas afternoon, we went to see Grandma and Grandpa. By this time, the kids had really gotten the hang of the whole "get presents" idea. So, they were EAGER to open their presents. They hardly took the time to see what they got before they asked to open another one. Here are a few pictures from Christmas #3...
Finally, we spent Christmas night with G-ma and the rest of the James crew. Elizabeth loved "playing" with Mellette's new ipod and Mary Frances thought it was great to dig into pocketbooks searching for gum. John Bradley enjoyed playing cars with Walker and climbing up and down G-ma's stairs. They all enjoyed the "horsie" rides toward the end of the night. Here are pictures from Christmas #4.
We are so blessed! We thank God daily for our many, many blessings. Merry Christmas!
