Christmas 2010

We had the most amazing Christmas this year. So many memories were made this weekend! Grady wasn't really sure what was going on, but I can tell you one thing, he is one spoiled lil boy. And not just by us. My family got him so much! He is such a lucky lil boy. Lots of toys and clothes.

Christmas Eve Kevin's mom, sister, brother and wife came to our house. Its hard to believe this time last year we were anxiously waiting for presents so we could announce my pregnancy. I made it very clear this year we had no announcements to make :-) We watched movies all day, attempted a puzzle and opened presents. It was so much fun being with family. After dinner we drove around looking at Christmas lights. It was so beautiful.

Christmas morning we woke up and Kevin, Grady, Maggie and i opened our gifts. I got a new camera- a much nicer one than I was expecting. A Canon T2i. I cannot wait to take tons of pictures of Grady! I am so excited about it. I really want to learn more about all the manual settings. I think I am going to get a good book and try and bring back memories of my photography class back in college. This will definitely be my new hobby!

We got in the car and drove down to Georgia to my parents Christmas morning. Me and Grady, still in our pjs. My youngest sister Shelby text me on our way- ya'll almost here? we are about 45 minutes away Shelby. What? Hurry up!.... the excitement in Shelby on Christmas morning has not changed a bit in 22 years LOL We finally made it and had breakfast and exchanged presents. We are so blessed! Grady is a little too blessed...we had to leave some of his toys at my parents because they would not fit in the car!

Later that afternoon, the Scott clan came over for our crazy family Christmas. Oh AND of course it started snowing. I still cant believe we had a white Christmas! So, our family has grown so much we hardly fit in the family room together. It was craziness opening presents with all the kids. Then we had our adult "dirty santa" game. I ended up opening a quesadilla maker. I was so excited. For those of you that know me, I make quesadillas at least once a week. So I was ecstatic! I threatened anyone that wanted to steal my gift. Thankfully no one did!

After everyone headed home, Chad, Katie, Phil and Beth stayed over and Lauren and Michael were spending the night again and we played cranium until 2am. We had the best time ever. We laughed so much that night. I love family game nights!

Today we said goodbye and headed home. So many memories were made this weekend. Grady may not be old enough to know, but he had the best first Christmas ever!

We came home to a beautifully snow covered yard. I made Kevin park on the side of the road, move the 4runner out of the driveway and go turn on the Christmas lights so I could get a perfect picture of our new house, its first snow, with my new camera!

I am so thankful for my amazing family and Kevin's amazing family. We are truly blessed.
