After a fun morning playing with everything Santa brought, we loaded up & headed to Nanna & Big Daddy's. Daniel & Laura Ann were thrilled to see Caroline & the three of them dove into gifts not long after we got there. After gifts, we had a Jasmine, an Ariel & Buzz Lightyear! They spent the rest of the afternoon playing with the new toys, including scooters! We enforced a quiet time due to the early hour we got up (I probably needed it more than they did!) to get them rested up for the arrival of the extended Meeks clan & another Christmas meal. Granny & Patsy prepared an absolutely fabulous meal that we all thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks to Leigh Anne & Kathryn, I have a new favorite sweet treat- oreo balls!!! The kiddos enjoyed some treats from Aunt Beth & we all enjoyed visiting with 'the girls' (Carrie, Kathryn & Leigh Anne who will always be 'the girls' no matter how old they get!). Daniel quoted his Bible verses for the group & did a special performance just for Granny. Laura Ann decided at the last minute to sing her Baby Jesus song for everyone too. There were many laughs, but Caroline provided the best one when she informed Carrie (who is expecting her first baby) that "It hurts when a baby comes out!" Ha! She apparently accidently saw the scene from The Nativity when Mary gives birth to Jesus & thought she should impart some wisdom to Carrie. Too funny! We spent the day after Christmas lounging by Big Daddy's fire & playing before coming back home. It was a great visit & a great Christmas!
