Merry Christmas

We had a very nice Christmas. We had Christmas with my family on Saturday in Blountville. On Sunday we went to Maryville to have Christmas with Scott's brother and sister and family. We came back to Clarksville and went to our Christmas Eve service. Scott's mom joined us. It was so nice and just what I needed to put me in the Christmas spirit after all of the traveling. Christmas morning was a lot of fun. Blake awoke at 6:00 am. I managed to hold him off until 7:00. We all got up and sure enough, Santa came. Blake's favorite toy seems to be his train table and Thomas trains. Blair was most interested in the wrapping and bows. Most of the pictures are from Christmas Eve. We took a lot of video of Christmas morning. I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and are blessed in the New Year.

Santa

After church today we went with our friends Heath and Kathy to "Brunch with Santa". Blake did okay. He wouldn't sit in Santa's lap but he told him he wanted toys and gave him a high five from the safety of Daddy's arms. Blair, of course, could've cared less. Although, she did grab a big fistful of Santa's beard, and yes, it is real. I have also included a picture of our friends' daughters Alison and Erin.

Playing

Blair really enjoys playing at her learning table. She is working on a top and bottom tooth.

Wounded

Poor Blake! He did a nose dive into his tent upstairs and made direct contact with the corner of the wall! He's fine but he was pretty subdued for the remainder of the morning.
