Merry Christmas!
It's hard to believe it's already here. We don't really celebrate Santa Claus at our house because we have always wanted our kids to understand why we celebrate Christmas not just look forward to what their going to ask for. We tried to get Elijah to believe in Santa when he was smaller but he never fell for it so we let it be. We just talk about the spirit of giving and why we give. Holidays can be stressful if you take the focus off of why we have them. After all God has already given us the greatest gift and it should be celebrated all year round. John 3:16

He was extremely tired as well. He stayed up late playing games with his Uncle Rick. 
Christmas Day at Nannys
We always spend Christmas Eve at Grandma Bettys and Christmas Day with Nanny and Pa and my brothers and their kids. 
Zane loves balls but this is a little much even 4 him!
Uncle Shane bought out Toys R Us for the boys and he got Zane a ball as big as him and he still managed to lift it over his head and heave it across the floor.
Christmas at Dollywood!!
We went the day before Christmas Eve to Dollywood with Nanny, Uncle Rick, Aunt Kimberly and Dakota. It was beautiful but very cold. The kids were worn out but loved all the beautiful lights.

The only cold part of my body that had feeling by this point was my nose, that's why it's the color of a radish!
