This is the last of the Christmas recap, there were just too many memories to pack into a day or two.
After church we headed to mom and dads house. This is the first year we haven’t opened presents with them as soon as we wake up. After Allen and I got married we still stayed with them on Christmas Eve and last year we went to their house as soon as we played “Santa” with BK. So this year was a little different but still every bit as fun and memorable.
Chase and Haley bought BK a little ride-on four-wheeler and he couldn’t wait to give it to her. She seemed to like it at first and then Chase pushed the button to show her what it would do and she wanted no part of it. She’s finally warming up to it now.
Love this sweet girl…

After a (late) breakfast the fun began. My mom always goes all out for our Christmas. It’s her favorite time of year and she puts so much thought into everyones gifts. The gifts under her tree were out of control this year, but I’m sure that just made her even happier. I’m surrounded by great gift-givers which means I have an extra hard time trying to surprise them or out do them. No complaints here though ๐
Braylen opened some boots from “Donna” and she realized they were like mine and she had to wear them immediately. What I haven’t told you is that she had already been trying to wear my shoes throughout church and at our house before we left. This girl loves shoes!
And she takes present opening seriously.
More boots!
Allen and I got new lamps for our bedroom! We’ve actually been using some old lamps my parents gave us because I am so indecisive when it comes to purchases for our house. My mom surprised us with these and they are beyond perfect for our bedroom.
My mom called dibs on buying BK her first kitchen last year so when everyone was stressing over which kitchen to buy for their toddler I was able to rest easy knowing that it was taken care of already. A side note here: She loves this kitchen and she spends HOURS “cooking” for us and making sure we “eat it, eat it” as she instructs.
A new handbag and wallet for me!
After we finished we started setting up for our next Christmas get together. My family comes to their house for Christmas dinner/snacks. Mom and I set up this little hot chocolate bar and it was a hit!
BK’s other great-grandparents (my dad’s parents) bought a little red wagon for her and she loves it!
Look who decided to smile again…
