Our Christmas Whirlwind

Christmas in Moulton


We spent the 2 days before Christmas in Moulton & had a great time eating, playing, and opening gifts. Daniel and Laura Ann had a blast with Kate and all of the McWhorter cousins too. We got home Christmas Eve night just in time to put some cookies out for Santa & jump in the bed!

Christmas Morning at Home

Dan & I were shocked that Daniel actually slept until 6:15. We decided to go ahead & wake Laura Ann up then so that they could come downstairs together. As in years past, the top of the steps pick is my favorite. Daniel is bursting with excitement & Laura Ann is in a total daze! Daniel came flying down the steps to check things out & I ended up having to carry Laura Ann down the steps. She woke up quickly & was super excited with what Santa had left, as was Daniel. After checking out Santa's gifts & their stockings, they opened their gifts from us. We had a quick breakfast and started packing for Douglasville. It was a little harder getting out the door this year because they were all into their new toys. Especially Daniel......who didn't get to ride his new bike before we left because it was raining. After lots of coaxing that we would be home soon to play our hearts out, we took off for the last leg of our whirlwind!

We continued our celebration of Jesus' birthday with more eating, playing & opening gifts. We enjoyed visiting with lots of family and Daniel and Laura Ann had so much fun with Caroline. We spent lots of time talking about this time next year when our new cousin, baby Sarah will be with us.....so exciting!!
