Baby's First Christmas

Christmas is my absolute favorite time of year, like most people's, but this year was extra special!! I loved going out and buying toys for McCoy, filling his stocking, and playing Santa, even though he had no idea what was going on! It was good practice for next year! Kirk, McCoy and I had a very busy Christmas and we loved every minute of it!

Where shall I begin...

On Friday night, we went to Kirk's parents for our annual game night. We do this every year. Doug gives out lots of prizes and we are happy to receive! We played Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader on teams and Kirk and I now know that we definitely are not! Although, we're both pretty good at 1st grade math! It was Owen's job to hand out the prizes and he did a great job! However, at one point in the night, we lost him and found him in the garage refrigerator with his fingers digging into a chocolate pie!! What a sneaky little guy!

When we got home that night, my parents were here. McCoy was so excited to see them!


My goal for the weekend was to make sure McCoy got lots of wear out of all of his Christmas gear. He has so many cute things!

How would any girl resist that face and pick-up line?

Of course he is!

On Christmas Eve, we went to the evening service at Fellowship with mine and Kirk's parents, Sara, and Mama T. It is a service catered to children and McCoy loved it! They had a big TV screen playing Christmas cartoons when we walked in and he was staring at it with big smiles. Afterwards, everyone came over to our house for chili and dessert. We had so much fun!!

After dinner, it was time for McCoy to get ready for Santa, so we went and got his Christmas pjs on. Every year, the girls' have matching pjs and now that Kirk is in the family, my dad and him match, too. McCoy can't wait until his old enough to wear the same pjs as the boys!

Is Santa here yet??

Christmas Day was so much fun! We ate A LOT, opened lots of presents, and laughed with our families. We woke up and opened presents with my family at our house. McCoy was so excited to see what all Santa had brought him! He got lots of toys and several cute outfits!

I was a really good boy!!

After all the presents and pictures, McCoy decided he needed a nap under the tree. While he napped, the rest of us opened our gifts. This year was a clothes Christmas for me. Mom got me lots of cute clothes and jewelry that I loved! And Kirk picked out some really cute things for me all on his own! I was so impressed! After all the gifts were opened, we ate breakfast casserole and cheese grits. YUMMY!

That afternoon we went over to Doug and Linda's for lunch and more present opening. We thought it was going to be postponed to later in the day because Anna Grace was at the emergency room!!! That morning, she had tripped over a toy and fallen down. It wouldn't quit hurting so Clint and Molly decided to take her to the hospital and they found out it was broken!! Poor thing! However, she was still her smiley, social self so we were glad to see she wasn't letting it ruin her day.

Because of her splint, Anna Grace went shirtless for Christmas! It was so funny! Doesn't she look adorable in her red cowboy boots? Kirk, McCoy and I gave her these. I wish they had them in my size!

Opening presents at Dig and MeMe's!

McCoy got lots of toys and a cute wagon to carry them all in! I can't wait to take him on walks in his wagon this summer. He is going to love it! I got lots of fun things, too. Linda knows how much I love mixing bowls so she got me two really cute sets. One is lime green and the other is red. I wish I would've gotten more pictures but Jessica got a lot so she'll have to give me copies!

When we got home that night, we had another wonderful meal of steaks, sweet potatoes, spinach madeline, and salad!! We were stuffed!

We had such a great day spending time with both of our families! McCoy gives Christmas a THUMBS UP!!! I hope everyone's Christmas was as merry as our's!!!
