Christmas!

I didn't think it was possible but four year old Christmas was even better than three year old Christmas!  Despite his excitement, we woke Charlie up at 9 with some Christmas tunes and all headed downstairs.  He was so excited and thankful... an actual quote was "I only asked for four things, but Santa got me all of this?!?!"  It was as fun morning!

Checking out his new table

Santa brought a new binky in frog form

If he is this excited about a stocking wait until he sees everything else!


Marching band men!


In infamous and illusive "football players who make their helmets come off" - his #1 requested gift

What was mommy thinking, oh well it is Christmas


Taking a break for breadfast










Charlie's gift for his sister

After lunchtime, we headed down to Raleigh to surprise Papa for his 60th birthday and to spend time with both families.

A pretty awesome Christmas present from the Lanes

Another popular one from the Grovers







Attempting a family picture

A better version (hilarious how the older folks didn't participate)

Christmas Eve

After church and a quick tour of some tacky lights, we headed back home for a fun appetizer dinner. We did an early bathtime, then came back downstairs to open one gift of new slippers (now a tradition) and got ready for Santa.  Charlie was so genuinely and perfectly excited... just love that sweetheart so much :)

Dusty slippers!




Eating Tom Brady after dinner

Reading the Night Before Christmas

The part with the hooves on the roof

Getting a plate ready for Santa... hope he is hungry!

Decorating a few more...With C, K and M for each stocking hoping for goodies

Santa is a lucky guy!

Out of his mind excited

Not a creature was stirring...

Cozy bath baby!

Don't forget about this guy!  With a badge from a real police officer when they got in a fender bender with the nanny

Started taking baths with Charlie in the big tub!  Does she look a little happy?
