Christmas Eve (Part 2):

After church, we headed straight to Duke's parents house to celebrate Christmas with his parents, two sisters, brother and their families. I have always loved Christmas at his parents house. Between his siblings, there are seven grandchildren, so there is always so much excitement about Santa Claus coming and you really get to see the "magic" of Christmas in their eyes. This year was even more special because Duke's brother and his wife, Jennifer, had a little girl in November and this was her first Christmas. So as the grand kids had fun with their new toys...all the ladies had fun passing sweet baby Kami around. :)

Here's a photo of all the gifts before the kids came down (think they are loved??):



Addison's big gift from them this year was her kitchen and she was SO excited to see it waiting for her when she walked down the stairs! Once she saw that, she wasn't interested in opening any other presents. We all spent the rest of the night eating plastic food. :)



Our attempt to get a shot of all the grand kids:



So proud!



A glimpse at all the craziness!!



As I mentioned before, we are all so in love with little Miss Kami. As you can see in the pictures, Addison and Ansley were a little out numbered when it came to boys vs. girls, so Kami helped to even that number out. Needless to say, Addison is in awe of Kami and wants to love on her every chance she gets. I snapped these photos of Maw-Maw and two of her three girls and I simply ADORE them. I was so glad I was able to capture such a sweet moment between a grandmother and her grand children. I can't wait to print them out and give them to Ruth.









All of the kids are getting so big and time is passing way too quickly. Look at this photo I found of the kids from just two Christmas's ago:



It's hard to believe that much time has passed already! I'd love to slow time down.

Hope everyone had as memorable of a Christmas eve as we did!
