Christmas Day Pictures, Part 1

On Christmas Day, the boys woke up around 8. I managed to keep them upstairs and happily playing in the playroom until around 10, when we woke Daddy up (who had worked all night) so they could see their presents. Then, we went to YaYa and Pops' house for Christmas with them. I love spending this time together!

presents! Their big gift was a train table, and they each got some other goodies.

Fisher's

Sullivan's

Looking at Daddy taking pictures

all this child wanted to do was eat paper.

what out attempt at pictures looked like

a self timed family shot. not too shabby :)

Christmas Eve Pictures

As promised, here are the pictures from Christmas Eve from my real camera!

it was a Christmas miracle-these two semi-looking in the same direction and both happy :)

my sweet Memaw and Pepaw

I was being a cruel mother and making him take a picture with me :)

Alpine Village Fun

In early December, we took the boys to Alpine Village. A local church puts it on each year, all for free. It's really popular, and you have to have tickets, which I managed to get. They had a live nativity, a snow pit, Santa Claus, and lots of little stations for the kids to make ornaments, get reindeer food, make a toy, etc. I think Fisher will have more fun next year when he can do more things independently, but we still had fun and I was thankful to spend time together as a family during the crazy holiday season!

if all he got to do that night was watch the train go around and around, he would have been thrilled. He wasn't happy with me when we had to move on to do other things :)

Zoo Lights

Daddy won tickets to go to Zoo Lights from work (yay for free!!) and YaYa and Pops joined in on the fun. It was so cold but the boys were bundled and after walking a while, it wasn't so bad anymore. Or maybe I was just numb by then. :)
He was so bundled he couldn't move!








Tunnel of lights




First time on the merry go round! He picked a bird to ride on. He said it was Kevin from the movie "Up", which he is obsessed with.








Walking with Pops




Reindeer!
























Climbing on the animals








And then we attempted a dinner out. Sigh. Not ready for that to happen again anytime soon!
