Santa Clause is Coming to Town!

We opened presents with Mimi and Papa on Christmas Eve morning. Uncle Josh, Aunt Lea, and Hayden where there to celebrate with us as well. We enjoyed a yummy breakfast and then dove into our presents! Gavin and Hayden seemed to really get into it, but Gunner had other plans during that time - SLEEP! We attended the Christmas Eve service in Keokuk that night and were able to hear Mimi and Papa's praise band and hear Papa speak.


Gunner couldn't keep his eyes open one more minute to wait for Santa!

Papa read Gavin a bedtime story featuring the same characters, Fred and Ted, from the bedtime story Grandpa Phil used to read to mommy.

The couples sporting their Christmas PJ's.

Aren't we cute?

Gunner was just dying to pose in front of the presents in his new pjs.

These two cuties could give Santa a run for his money!

Gavin and Gunner with their happy and adorable cousin Hayden.


Gavin must have been a very good boy this year!

I'm not sure who was more excited about this present - Daddy or Gavin? If only Daddy had one to ride with him!


Gunner and Hayden kicked Gavin out of this photo because he doesn't sit still!

The gang's all here!

Doesn't everyone look stunning in their Christmas Eve outfits?

The troopers humored mommy for one more picture before bed!
