This year marked a new experience for me and Sam...we celebrated "Christmas" with just our little family in Missouri. And although I would always prefer to be surrounded by lots of family, it was kinda nice to spend some good quality time with just Sam and the boys all day.
We actually celebrated Christmas at our house a day early, on the 24th, and Santa was so kind and made a special trip to our house on Christmas Eve Eve :) This worked great for us because right after the morning worship service on Sunday morning, we headed out in our loaded-down Camry for Mississippi. So, the 25th was mostly spent in the car seeing only the occasional traveler at only a few open gas stations.
Christmas this year was loads of fun as Mac was old enough to really get into all of the festivities. And he was so excited that Santa was coming and bringing presents!
Santa did come...sweet, jolly Old Man even comes to a very small 4.5ft tree :)
Mac is very much in a train phase right now and LOVED this train. We had a very hard time getting him to want to open up his other presents. He just wanted to stay sitting right there watching the train go around the track. Santa sure could've realized that Mac really just needed that one present this year ;)
Getting into the other gifts. The expression on his face is him saying, "Ohhh my goodness!" That's what he said over and over, "What is it? Ohhh my goodness!" Precious!
Baby Drew loved his toys from Santa also. He is enjoying anything that lights up and makes noise these days. 
He liked all of his toys, but nothing made him as happy as just being held by his mommy. My boy loves his mommy :) 
Our family at the Christmas Eve service
We had a great day...opening gifts, eating a late breakfast, playing with toys all day and then to church. It was so nice to be able to end our fun day with a service to worship Christ and keep our minds and hearts on the reason we celebrate this holiday.
