A Christmas To Remember

The presents have been opened, our tummies have been stuffed, our visitor Glovey has gone back to the North Pole with Santa, and the snow has melted.  Looking back on the Christmas season, I think it was a good one for sure.  Hoyt was so excited Christmas morning when he came running into the living room saying Santa came, Santa came.  There was a stocking overflowing with treats & sugar, there was a walking talking bigfoot, there were games and cars and movies and on and on and on.  The faces in our house were bright with wonder!  As Hoyt marveled in all of the new toys and adventures that awaited him, I cooked a Christmas breakfast that was fit for a king, while poor ole Danel had the pleasure of putting hot wheels tracks together, loosening and tightening screws, and helping Hoyt get things out of packages that were harder to get into than Fort Knox.  It was a day of memories, fun,  family!








A white Christmas in Alabama...that doesn't happen!  It was so exciting and the perfect way to end our eventful Christmas season.  Danel & Hoyt laughed and played in the snow, built a snowman, chased Chewy (who was completely freaking out, I might add); all while I snapped pictures of the moments while enjoying a blanket in a rocking chair on the front porch with a BIG mug of hot chocolate!  As I said before, perfect ending.

Our Little Helper

This year we were really excited that Santa sent us a gem of a friend for us to watch until Christmas.  Glovey Wallis showed up Thanksgiving night and boy oh boy has he been an interesting little fellow!  The first morning after his arrival I found him hanging from the dinning room light.
Hoyt thought it was extremely funny but was quick to let Glovey know that I would be very upset if he had broken my light! 

Last night Glovey got into our pantry and found some extra yummy bite size chips-ahoy cookies and chocolate milk. 
Those cookies were the perfect size for him to handle.  At least he has great taste!

From the time Glovey got here, he & Hoyt were unseperable and haven't left each others sight.  We even had to take him to church although, he had to wait in the car and wasn't allowed to go inside.  We couldn't take a chance of him acting up in church now could we???

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Oh the stockings are hung by the chimney with care, the tree is decorated and full of Christmas spirit, Gifts are beginning to show up wrapped in coloful wrappings with big pretty bows, and people are just, ummm how should I say it, NICER!!!  There is definetly something about this time of year.
