Merry Christmas!
 I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was wonderful. Jam 
packed full, but wonderful! We headed to south GA to see Jordan's 
grandparents on Friday. It was a long day, but both boys did so well in 
the car, and everyone enjoyed getting to see them (and meet Colton)! 
Christmas Eve was pretty laid back. We had to finish a little shopping, 
and then just hung around until it was time for the Church service 
(where my sweet child would yell out "No Christmas!" for all to hear and
 flip out when he wasn't allowed to hold a lit candle. And Colton gave 
Ashley a nice "welcome home" by throwing up all over her dress and the 
pew and the floor--fun times!) and dinner out with my family. On the way
 home, we realized that we had forgotten about cookies for Santa, so 
slice and bake cookies from Walgreens it was! I'll do better for Santa 
next year. ;) Once the boys went to bed, we got everything out of the 
attic and set it out for Christmas morning. I think Jordan and I were 
more excited than Hampton going to bed that night! Christmas morning was
 interesting. Hampton is terrified of Santa. He was not thrilled when 
Jordan went in his room and said that Santa had come. It took a lot of 
convincing to get him to come out. Poor little monkey! Once he did come 
out, he was thrilled with his loot and had a blast playing with all his 
new cars. It was actually hard to get him to open presents b/c he was so
 distracted by the "big" toys from Santa. After opening presents, we 
spent the day at my parents' house. Lots of family from both sides came 
and went, and lots of food was consumed! The next day, we opened more
 presents at Jordan's parents' house. His brother and wife and 2 kids 
were in town from Ashville, so we were so happy to get to see them and 
let the kids play for a bit. Lots of wonderful memories were made this 
year. Lots of pictures? That's another story. I barely picked up my 
camera. I am so mad now, but at the time, I was juggling the baby, 
helping Hampton open presents, visiting with family I hadn't seen in 
forever, and a million other things. So, alas, I only have a few 
pictures. And none with the 4 of us. I'll have to make up for it by 
taking lots and lots of pictures this next year!

Happy (belated) Christmas!!!
