Santa Came

Christmas was a little different this year and it was wonderful.
Cory and I decided long ago that we wanted to start our own tradition with our family on Christmas morning.
Which meant cutting out on traveling a few place Christmas Eve and Christmas morning like we have done for years and years.
It wasn't an easy decision, but it was a good one!
We celebrated with Cory's family on Christmas Eve and then my parents, grandmother, and my brother and his family came over to our house on Christmas Day.
Instead of spending the night at Nana and PaPa's, we came home so that Brooks and Burkley could wake up Christmas morning at home.
And we wanted to make sure that Santa knew where we lived!!
As mentioned in the previous post, Santa did not disappoint!
Brooks and Burkley must have been reeeeeeeeal good this year.
Santa snacked on a few homemade pecan sandies (thanks to Granny Di) and washed them down with a touch of milk!
He even left B&B a note!
Santa even thought Holly was a good girl this year too!
And she was beyond excited to get 2 bags of Pup Corn and another rope...since she tore her other rope all to pieces!
And here's all the loot!
See, I wasn't telling you a story...Brooks and Burkley WERE good this year!
4 wheelers, Cars 18 wheelers filled with cars, movies, a kitchen, and stockings filled with colors and coloring books!
Brooks and Burkley preparing mommy and daddy a Christmas breakfast!
This little guy could play with his cars and trucks for HOURS!
I absolutely LOVE this picture!
He's amazed that Santa filled those stockings with goodies!
Pancakes mommy?!?
Helping daddy open his presents!
Holly in heaven with her new rope!
Cutest cooks EVER!
Coloring at their new table while waiting for Christmas breakfast!
Nana and PaPa came over to visit Christmas morning and to see what Santa brought Brooks and Burkley!
Although our Elf (aka PaPa) already knew because he worked hard at putting it all together for us...thank you, thank you, thank you!
PaPa and Brooks chillin'!
Up next, Christmas Day with Nea and Poppy!
Sorry it's taking so long for me to complete my Christmas posts!

What a great Christmas you had! The kids scored lots of cool stuff! I hope we can always be home Christmas morning, too. It means so much to get to share that moment together at home ;)

Either my pups weren't on the NICE list or Santa forgot about them! Lucky Holly ;)
