Christmas 2012

Well, considering it's a month after Christmas, I should probably go ahead and do a post about how our Christmas was.  This post seems daunting since we were in Virginia for about 2 weeks and it seemed like it was one constant Christmas celebration.  I'll try to make it short and sweet.


Kemper and Hudson had taken over Pops and MeMe's living room.  Kemper got an awesome microphone from one of his cousins and was giving us a concert.  Hudson was probably just trying to get his hands on one of the many breakable snowmen that MeMe has sitting around taunting him. :)


We finally got to meet Owen!  Hudson wasn't really being very sociable when Noelle and Owen came over to visit so this is the best picture I was able to snap of them.  There is about a 5 month age difference between the boys.  Owen is such a sweet, smiley baby!  


Our family before heading to church with Grandma Rita and Grandpa Phil.  Not sure about Kemper's pose....I think he may have been dancing mid-picture?


On Christmas Eve, we headed over to Grandma Rita and Grandpa Phil's house to open presents and have lunch.  Aunt Sarah and Uncle Jon were in Pennsylvania this year and we missed having them with us but were lucky that they came down to visit a few days before Christmas.  


Hannah, Alec and Kemper.  

Kemper and Alec are so funny together.  There is about a week age difference and even though they only see each other once a year, twice if we're lucky, they play like they're the best of friends!  Aside from when we were opening gifts, we barely saw the boys because they were downstairs playing the whole time.  


A little pre-lunch/present snack.  


The whole family!

So happy and blessed to have James home with us this Christmas!


Aunt Neci snuck him a sugar cookie....lucky boy!

Love this kid!  He was so excited to open presents.

Hudson made it through breakfast on Christmas morning and then went back down for a nap.  He missed out on most of the present opening but decided a short nap was all he needed and rejoined the party.  Thankfully, Kemper had helped open most of his presents since he was only interested in the empty boxes.


Poor little guy was just all Christmased out.  


Before we headed back to Tennessee, we were able to go visit Ashley, Brian and baby Jack!  It's so fun to see these guys together.  Jack is such a cutie and so sweet.  


I love Jack's face in this picture...it looks like Hudson just told him something completely mind-blowing!  


We had such a great time in Virginia visiting with family and friends.  We are truly blessed (and spoiled)!
