Stephen and Me Plus Three: "Mommy....I think Santa was Here!"

Addison snuck down the stairs on Christmas morning to wake us up. "Mommy.....I think Santa was Here!" She was so excited, so we all had to jump out of bed and head to the living room to see what Santa had done.

Just as we suspected Santa drank all of the milk and most of the cookies. He left lots of gifts behind as well. The biggest hits of the year were the Zhu Zhu pet hamsters and a remote control car. Kennedy was mostly impressed with the boxes and paper from mommy and daddy's gifts.

We had a wonderful Christmas as a family of five! The kids loved every minute of the Christmas celebrations. There was a lot of time spent with family members and cousins that they don't get to see all of the time, and several relatives met Kennedy for the first time ever. We were able to spend Christmas Eve afternoon with Mamaw, Papaw and Uncle Justin. We spent Christmas Eve night at Grandma Nina's house with the Geisler side of the family. Christmas afternoon, we headed to Aunt Kami and Uncle Mark's house for lunch and presents. On Christmas night, we loaded up the van to head north for a visit with Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Sheets. On the Tuesday after Christmas we celebrated with Grandma, Grandpa and Charlie. We got to talk to Zach and Chela on the computer, but we wish they were able to join us. We'll look forward to seeing them this summer! It was a whirl-wind of celebrations, so we're going to spend the beginning of the new year relaxing...
