Christmas across the state!

We started off our Christmas festivities on the 24th at Anne's house here in Knoxville. We had Christmas dinner, watched Mark and Melissa's episode of DIY to the Rescue, and then opened tons of great gifts. We had a great time Nana, Yia-Yia, and Mark!
Then it was off to West Tennessee for Christmas Eve dinner, we got there just in time to make cookies for Santa before sitting down to eat a huge and delicious not so traditional dinner of brisket, sea food gumbo, and tons of other yummy goodies.We had our first annual fireworks show (great idea Uncle Bob and Cousin Susan)! Finally it was time for gifts. Again, the boys got tons of wonderful goodies, Thanks Doc, Mom-mom, Pooty, Nanny Goat, Sandra, Jake, Bob, Brenda, Stacey, Stephanie, Nick, and Susan!Then we set out our Santa cookies and milk and headed off to bed. The boys woke up early, as expected, and anxiously waited in their new matching pj's to go downstairs and see what Santa had brought.
After playing with all our new toys for a bit, it was time for breakfast and more gifts under the tree. Thanks G-Pop, G-Nana, G-Dada, Mimi, Randy, Sarena, Rae-Rae, Russ, and Susan for all the great gifts! Finally it was time to sit back and relax, play some trivial pursuit, eat some more of course, and play with all our new toys! I see tons more days like this one in our future!
