Time for Christmas in Hickory! We were excited to head to Hickory to celebrate the holidays with everyone...and Mimi was super excited to welcome all her grandkids in with one big hug.
Sweet boy...thrilled to celebrate Christmas with Sawyer for the first time!
Also a must at Mimi's house...exploring that interesting attic.
We went to St. Stephens for church, and I loved looking over to see Baba snuggle Luke on the pew. Mom and Baba love to show off the grandkids to all their friends.
After church, we relaxed at Mimi's and played with our tiny reindeer...
Baba invited the kids to pick an ornament off her tree to take back home with them. I hated to remove anything from her pretty tree, but she insisted. They loved picking out a special treasure.
Finally, it was time for Christmas to begin! We opened presents first, then enjoyed a delicious dinner. We have to do it in this order for obvious reasons. :)
All kinds of good things were unwrapped...a fishing game, a llama purse, some new pink boots (Aunt Alli always keeps the kiddos in stylish footwear), and much, much more.
Look at this smiling boy! He got a fun new playmat, and we got to enjoy having a baby around again for the Christmas festivities. Sawyer is a sweetheart.
Our time together at the holidays is so special, and I'm thankful for each and every moment. Whether we're playing games, eating pecan pie, laughing in the kitchen, playing fetch with the dogs, unwrapping presents, putting together a puzzle, or watching a movie- it's always a great time. These happy moments are what Christmas is all about- so thankful for our time in Hickory this year!
