more Christmas

The kids put out cookies for Santa and raisans for the reindeer. Also, we sprinkled a mixture of glitter and oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer. That way they can find our house by smelling the food and seeing the sparkle of glitter. John Evan got that from his nursery class at church and I thought it was so cute!


Sydney got up first and came running in our room "He came He came" So we let her look at all her stuff before we woke up John Evan. Sydney just kinda walked around and pointed to all her gifts. John Evan was real sleepy but when he saw his race track he jumped out of Chris's arms!

John Evan's race track-he LOVES this thing!

This is the first year since Chris and I have been together that we did not have anywhere to go on Christmas day. It was SO wonderful. I made pull-apart rolls for breakfast and we just lounged around all day and played with all the new toys. My momma and daddy and Heather came by and so did Chris's mom.

The Saturday after Christmas we went back to Chris's dad's house for the whole Sprayberry get together. We had hamburgers and chilli and just all got caught up on eachother's busy schedules.

We always spend Christmas Eve at my parents. We had TONS of food! Momma gave all the kids pajamas that they changed into and the adults played Dirty Santa. We had a BIG surprise. Santa came by for a visit. It was so neat to see the kids so excited.

An attempt to get all the kids. There are now 9 grankids.

My favorite part of Christmas Eve is reading out of the bible. All the kids gather around my daddy. Chandler usually reads a part. Just so simple and sweet!

Christmas Eve day we went to Chris's aunt and uncles house . They had it catered by Cracker Barrell. YUM! So we ate and played Dirty Santa with all "Alabama" gifts. They had tickets to basketball games, hats, huggies, playing cards, posters, books, just all kinds of neat stuff. I already had my turn so Chris stole me a really cute Elephant necklace. That definately gave him brownie points!

My little friend, Logan, had a successful surgery yesterday. The doctors are pretty sure they were able to remove the whole tumor. They did a MRI today and are waiting on the results. He is still heavily sedated. Keep praying please!
