I hope you and yours had a very Merry Christmas! We had a great Christmas. This Christmas was extra special since it was Mac's first Christmas with us. He is at a really fun age, and it was so much fun to watch him interact with all the festivities.

It's a family tradition for us to go to church on Christmas Eve. This year we went to the 4PM service, and after church we went back to my parents' house for presents and dinner. Mac got lots of new toys; a baby laptop, cell phone, drum, train, race car, and some Mickey Mouse stuff. He got some new cute clothes too, and he'll be the most stylish lil' boy in town. Of course, the paper and bows were the biggest hit for Mac and what he enjoyed the most!
After presents, we had dinner and then it was time for Mac to head to bed. Us adults {Clete & myself, my sister & her husband, and my mom & dad} stayed up to play dominoes which has become a tradition over the years. Santa also came and left Mac some things for Christmas morning!
Mac was up bright and early Christmas morning
{just like any other day} so everyone got up to see him with his things from Santa Claus. Santa brought him a jean anywhere chair with his name, a big stuffed Mickey Mouse, Scout the learning dog, and a new Ford Raptor Truck that we can push him around in. He also got some new sippy cups, Desitin, baby lotion, boogie wipes, and puffs in his stocking. He was an extra good boy this year, so Santa brought him lots of goodies!
After Mac checked out all of his goodies, we then had breakfast casseroles and mimosas. After breakfast, we got around and that afternoon my DeeDee came with my brother in-law's mom and grandma to have Christmas dinner. My Dad and Mom prepared a delicious dinner of beef tenderloin, baked potatoes, salad, and rolls. We had a variety of sweet treats for dessert. Mac had potatoes with some of his food after his nap, and then it was time to play some more. He LOVES being pushed around in his new truck! As long as he's being pushed around, he's perfectly content.
The weekend before Christmas, Uncle Thomas and Aunt Kelsey came to stay with us and we did our Christmas with them. Mac got some fun things, and loved having them to play with. We all enjoyed having them at our house for the weekend.
Mac had a great Christmas, and so did we. It brought us pure joy to watch Mac be so excited and happy! We had a wonderful first Christmas with Mac, and we are the most thankful for the best gift of all, our savior who was born on the very first Christmas Day.
