We woke up Christmas morning and were so happy to find that Santa had been there and left lots of goodies for the kids!

They couldn’t wait to get down the stairs…

and Samantha even took a few of those stairs on her bottom! ha! (she was fine)

They were all smiles checking out their gifts – LOLs, Poopsie Slime Surprise, a headband, books, and lots of girly things for Samantha!

The boys got Nike shirts, socks, games, books…and tickets!! Maxwell got tickets to the Citrus Bowl and Spencer got tickets to an NBA game in Atlanta!

Robert also got the boys a BB gun!

Look at these Christmas cuties!

We then made cinnamon rolls in the waffle maker (a hit!) and played with our new toys before family came over for lunch!

Merry Christmas!

Before we get to Christmas, I just have to ask if it’s appropriate to take selfies in church?! ha!!

They’re just too cute I couldn’t resist! Christmas Eve fun!

Once the kids were finally out of school and family got into town, we were all ready for Christmas! Samantha had fun showing off her splits to Susu…

Both boys did a day camp at Top Golf and Spencer also went to a basketball clinic…

Samantha and I got a little extra pampering before Christmas day! Love getting to do this with my best girl!

I got the Christmas cards from this year and last year hung on the wall…

We were all ready for the best Christmas ever…

We just needed to go dream of sugarplums!

Merry merry!

Gingerbread Elf came back to visit for the month of December again! The kids were excited to see him and Samantha couldn’t wait to go find him each morning!

He maybe wasn’t quite as creative as in previous years, but he was hiding every day and even brought a treat or two! The favorite were these GIANT squishies! fun!

He also brought them an ornament – a video game control for Spencer, a soccer ball for Samantha, and a golf bag for Maxwell!

He did get a little mischievous and color on their pictures…

He even made each of them into elves! ha!

A fun tradition to have Gingerbread visit each year. Glad he always had good reports to give to Santa!!
