Holidays this year were a whirlwind! We were so busy and traveled several times that it went by incredibly fast! We returned home from our visit to Tullahoma, TN with Rick's family on Wednesday the 23rd and my parents arrived the next day, Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve morning we made beignets for breakfast then that night we ate dinner out and then drove through Saluda Shoals to see the lights. When we returned home, we tracked Santa's route on the Internet which captivated all 3 children! Before bed that night, the boys laid out carrots for the reindeer and cookies & milk for Santa. Aubrey wasn't quite ready to help with that this year, she just wanted to eat the cookies. Maybe next year. On Christmas morning, our playroom was a mess of paper, bows, ribbons, bags and toys- lots and lots of toys! The kids had a HUGE Christmas this year but it was so much fun! Andrew & Davis were at the perfect ages to be excited about Santa and the magic of Christmas. Aubrey was just excited because her brothers were! The Elston family joined us for a yummy lunch again this year and we hope that tradition continues for many more years to come. I hope your holiday was as full of joy as ours was!
