Christmas

Christmas Eve: We spent Christmas Eve at the Cade side. We had a wonderful spread of appetizers and opened gifts that night as the rest of Cade's (We will be heading that way in March) were heading to Florida on Christmas day.

Christmas at the Cade house.

Uncle Robert and Tayah. They have a special relationship and like to tease each other.

Collin and myself next to the Christmas tree.

Christmas Eve Night: We got home pretty late that evening so we quickly put the kids to bed. Tayah was too tired and crabby to put out milk and cookies and the reindeer food so mom and dad had to do that. After the kids went to bed Santa came shortly before midnight.

Christmas Morning: Collin was the first to wake up at 4 a.m. Although he ate quickly and then was back to bed. Tayah kept warning us that she was going to wake up mom and dad on Christmas morning but with her being up late the night before WE ended up waking her up shortly after 8:00 after Collin woke us up for good later in the morning.

Christmas Day: We spent the day with my side of the family at my Aunt Christa and Jason's house. There was some serious games of dice going on and we will just say that there was one check made out for 15.00 due to a loss and one person who ended up going to bed at 6:30 p.m. that night (not me, Collin or Tayah). He truly is sorry to everyone!!

I do think we were all a little tired that night. Collin went to bed very easily that night after a busy weekend. His was a great first Christmas!
