This year was our first Christmas in Richmond! And our last at our current house! After all the anticipation of Santa's visit, we had a great day. And an exhausting one too! Cooking my first Christmas dinner sure made me appreciate all the work my parents have done over the years :) The Lanes stayed with us in the morning for presents and then headed back to North Carolina. Friends Jamie and Annie came over for dinner and a fun evening.
Excited to see Santa arrived!
Santa's big gift was a dollhouse fire/police station
Ripping open his stocking
Serving Grandma's famous Eggnog French Toast
"Helping" Marley with her stocking too
Marley loved her new toys as if she hasn't had one in years (that may be true)
New alphabet mat
Who can spell his name?
Munching on her new bone
Fun building set
Ripping into another one
Race car track from Papa and Nana
A School Bus like Daddy's!
James' first turkey
Jamie and Annie came over for Christmas dinner.
As always, Marley is hanging with the meat
My version of Grandpa's famous pie
Our feast!
Charlie finally took his jammies off for dinner. But left the slippers on :)
The only thing he ate of everything I cooked... microwaved peas :(
Ready to dig in!
We build the Lego hospital after dinner
