Beware - Way too many pictures below!!
We had a fabulous Christmas and feel so blessed. I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful family to spend time with over the holidays.
Sydney and I started our Christmas Eve by making some cookies for Santa, and us of course. It's so fun now that she can pretty much do it all by herself...I just supervise. We baked our favorite, M & M oatmeal cookies.
Carson didn't have a hand in the cookie making but was definitely available to lick a beater. 
The finished product...
We had a great Christmas Eve service at church. While we were getting ready to go, I asked Carson who's birthday we were going to celebrate tomorrow and he replied, "Jesus' birthday. I wike Jesus. He's my boy!" How cute is that?!I love these two precious babies.
After church we drove around to look at some Christmas lights, then headed back to the house to get in our pjs. We all had hot chocolate and watched Santa Clause 2. Carson wouldn't keep his finger out of the whipped cream on top of his daddy's cup. 
Daddy read us The Christmas Story and Sis read us The Night Before Christmas.
Carson is obsessed with Santa's reindeer so we put some food in the yard to feed them. Every time I talked to him about getting to see Santa (he came to Carson's school) I would ask if he was going to sit on Santa's lap. Instead of answering my question he would ask, "Can I sit on his reindeer?" He also pretended to be "Baby Rudolph" for the past month. 
After feeding the reindeer and watching the news to see where Santa was, the kids headed to bed. Sydney woke us all up around 7 to get our Christmas day started. Santa brought Carson a remote control train and a black cowboy hat this year. He LOVES them both. Unlike the train and hat, his Mimi brought him a present that he is terrified of...see picture below.
This is his reaction after opening his coon skin cap. I know I'm terrible for finding his complete and utter fright quite hilarious, but we seriously could win America's Funniest Home Videos with this one. Mimi was video taping it and is afraid it didn't turn out because she was laughing so hard. Every night since he got the hat we've had a meltdown at bedtime. We have to put the hat in a box in Daddy's closet and let Carson shut the door so that he knows the "raccoon" can't get him.

She has pretty much been playing since she opened it, well except for while Bubby or Cameron were playing. They are just as bad as she is!
Carson has quite the git-up here. His pjs, Cars house shoes, cowboy coat (he calls his vest this because the bull riders he watches wear a vest when they ride), and cowboy hat. I have no idea where he get his desire to be a cowboy, but I think he'd make a pretty cute one.
Ryan, Ashley, and Davis came over to play and open presents with Mimi and Bubby.
Mimi cooked a yummy lunch for us, and then we spent the rest of the afternoon visiting Cameron's family at the hospital. We are so glad Lolli seems to be getting better and hope she goes home some. We're going to wait and have Christmas with his family when she gets out of the hospital so there are many more pictures to come.
