here comes santa claus

I can honestly say that this was the best Christmas in about a decade. The joy that i felt watching the kids open and play with their gifts, and sharing that moment with my parents was priceless. I think anyone with young children probably feel the same.  The past two Christmases the triplets were too young to understand what was going on. This year they knew who Santa was, and that they had presents, but  they didn't know who put the gifts there or where they came from. They absolutely loved all the gifts and scampered from toy to toy trying to play with them all. I really tried to find the perfect gifts for everyones' personalty when i shopped this year, but no surprise everyone plays equally with everyone elses' presents. Mareks big gift from Santa was a piano, Landon a rocking horse, and Addy a chalkboard easel. They also got clothes, airplanes, coloring sets, cars, learning tablets, a doll,  mickey mouse stuffed animals, and tons more.

 

 

It started getting cold finally a few days before Christmas, so we played in the backyard one last time.

Who ya calling sweetheart?

 

Marek is ready for some football.

 

Landon playing with his new airplane.

 

Christmas eve was spent with my dads side of the family. I actually haven't spent a Christmas with them in about 6 years. I have been working at a hospital and usually have to work during the holidays. The kids were dressed in their holiday finest.

 

I love love love Addys dress and recycled her Dorothy shoes from Halloween.

 

Landon's silly smile.

 

Can u say that we are an iPhone family? Lets play shapes!

 

Memaw, Mommy, and Marek

 

Sweet baby Marek needing some quality Memaw time. New places and new faces bother him a little. Sometimes he doesn't feel like eating or he hides. He stayed pretty close to Daddy all night.

 

Our tree after Santa's visit. No ornaments this year. That was one headache with the kids playing with them that i did not want to take on. Killed me though, since i have such a beautiful tree when its all done up. Hopefully next year.

Just thought this was a funny picture of Adalynn.

 

Instead of the tradition Christmas feast, we opted for Chicken and Dumplings for Christmas lunch. Very Yummy.

Time to play with Pepaw. He loves playing with his babies.

Mommy and Landon. Even Mommy is jealous of Landon's amazing lashes.

 

 

Amazingly, it started snowing Christmas day around lunch time. This was just an early pic of the progress. Quite a bit of snow and ice came that day. Luckily, we were all snug and toasty inside.

Never can get a good group pic.
