Christmas at Mamaws

We always go to Mamaws house on Christmas night.  I love that we always know what we are doing for Christmas.  We have had these traditions since I was little.  I love that!  I will NOT lie.  Mamaw’s house with all of our family is OVERWHELMING and quite chaotic.  But, it is a lot of fun and it is always nice to see my cousins and their children.  Trigger, Brannon, and Josiah were all born within 4 months of each other.  And Andrew, Caroline, Campbell, and Reid were all born within 8 months of each other.  AND, Larkin, Abigail, and Jake were all born within 4 months of each other.  Soooo, we have lots of children close together in age which makes for fun play time.

We always eat a huge meal and then open presents…isn’t that always the schedule?

Whew…I think that is the end of Christmas.  YAY!
