Christmas 2013

Christmas Eve started off at breakfast at I-Hop.

The whole breakfast crew

Family pic for the day

"Where are my pancakes ?"

After Breakfast we went home for nap time and a mini photo shoot :)

Not participating in Picture time very well

Stinker

That afternoon we went to Big Daddy and Momma T's to do breakfast with my immediate family. This was our first time to do "Santa" on Christmas Eve at their house, but it was Wonderful! After opening presents and playing we went to Nanny's house for supper.

 Someone is a "little" spolied

 Santa brought a basketball goal to stay at Big Daddy and Momma T's house

 "Nothing runs like a Deer" Our first John Deer toy!

Every 1 year old needs a 4-wheeler :)

After all of our fun Christmas Eve night we went home to go to bed to see if Santa was going to make a visit. Someone must have been a very good boy, because Santa showed up with presents.

Clothes, grill, DVD player for the car, and a Mickey mouse tractor toy

Santa even left a surprise outside in the freezing cold :)

Christmas morning we woke up and had a yummy breakfast and enjoyed spending time playing with little man before all of our Christmas day festivities began. As soon as Caleb saw his new toys in the den his first words were " Ho Ho Ho".

 Cooking up some hotdogs on his new grill

 Order is ready :)

 Opening a present from Santa...what is it???

 A Mickey Mouse tractor!!

 He did not like the tape getting stuck on his fingers.

 Such a little stinker :)

" Say CHEESE!"
Later that afternoon we went to Great Nanny's house for Momma T's side of the family Christmas. We had a late lunch, read the Christmas story, played some games and opened presents.

 Helping cousin Derek read the Christmas story

Caleb writing his answer to Christmas trivia

 I think he got the answer CORRECT!!!

It's the best we could get of grumpy pants by this point in  the day :)
After we left Great Nanny's we went to see PawPaw and Nanny ( Daddy's parents) and opened presents with them. Once again someone was a little spoiled. After leaving their house we went home and Uncle Ben, Aunt Amy, Aubrey ( and two sweet little boys who we never knew were in the house) came over to exchange gifts.

These two cuties LOVE each other so much!

Once again Caleb was spoiled by all of his family. He got so many new toys and goodies. We had a wonderful time with our families and watching Caleb see the Joy and Excitement of the Christmas season. This year we worked really hard  trying to show Caleb the nativity, reading him his books of the REAL "Christmas Story" and trying to make him understand the true meaning of Christmas.  I think he sort of got it, because any time he saw a nativity he says "Jesus" and would point to his books and say "Jesus". As he gets older we want him to understand that Jesus is the main reason for why we celebrate Christmas at the Ross' house!
