The Best Gift Ever!

My sweet boy, Dawson made this for David and I for Christmas... I could have cryed... I love it... I have it displayed in my kitchen and I'm so proud of it...

It's hard to believe my Dawson is growing up... He'll go to the Middle School next year and that is just unbelievable to me... It makes me sad to think about...

Grandma's Grandbabies!

They are all so cute in their

matching PJ'S... This picture is cute... All three of

them have their feet in the air.... This picture is tooo funny... By this point

everyone was tired and ready to go...

Heather, Jenni and I took all the kids to have their pictures made together... The first and second pictures are good, but the last one is toooooo funny..... Jenni and I just had to buy it... We will never forget this day....

Then it was back to Mom's for some good ole' Lasagna with the family....

Family Time....

David, Dawson, Jackson and I got up and headed to Bowling Green, Ky to a shoe store David wanted to go to... We got there and it was closed down, so we went over to the mall and went in Lifeway....

We headed back to Nashville and met Chuck, Jenni, Eli, Ava and Aiden at Green Hills Mall and we shopped for a while... Heather and Stephen met us all for dinner at Carrabbas... It was very yummy.... After dinner, David, Chuck and Stephen headed back over to the mall and Jenni, Heather and I headed to Grandma's house with the kids...

Christmas Night....

We left for my in-law's house around 4:45 pm and we had a wonderful dinner... My mother-in-law decided this year we would do something different... We had Beef Tenderloin instead of the "traditional christmas dinner".... Usually we are so stuffed and sick of turkey and dressing by Christmas night, so we did something else and it was soooo good....

-

We opened gifts (it's so much fun to watch the kids) and we were pretty excited to watch Papaw and Granny open up their gifts as well... Tammy did a photo shoot of the boys and LeAnna back a few weeks ago and the pictures were just unbelievable, so Papaw and Granny got LOTS of PICTURES!!!

Jackson's "Big" Present from Papaw and Granny....

It's so cute and he's so cute on it.... Dawson opening his Gifts.... He got lot's

of games and lots of cool stuff! What A Fabulous Night~!!!

Christmas Day....

We slept in today.... Dawson woke us up around 8:30 am and we let Dawson go ahead and open his presents... David finally woke Jackson up and he jumped right up to open his presents.....

-

About the time we were finishing up with presents... Grandma, Chuck, Jenni, Eli, Ava, and Aiden arrived.... We began fixing breakfast and Heather and Stephen arrived.... We had a very YUMMY breakfast.... and it was just nice being together!

-

Heather and Stephen had to leave to head back to Mcminnville, Tn for Christmas at Stephen's Parent's house.... Everyone else took a nap except for me and Dawson... We were wide awake....

Here are just a few Pictures from our Christmas Day....

My First Christmas Album for the TWINS...

I had to work today on Christmas Eve... I wasn't too happy about that, but I'm just thankful I have a job to work when so many others don't! I didn't get to go to Granny Mays for Christmas Eve... :(

After I got off work, I cleaned my house and made a dish to take to my mom's for our Christmas dinner at her house... Chuck and Jenni arrived not long after we did and we ate dinner and opened presents... The kids were so much fun to watch...

I did my mom's Christmas Shopping for her this year and she had one request and that was for each person to have at least one gift to open. She loves to give gifts... She hates giving money... I have to admit.. I'm a money and gift card person... I love money and gift cards... I just do... But ... It was fun having presents to open....

My Sis, Jenni had a little surprise for me this year... She's so funny... She bought me walkie talkies for next years shopping trip... She and I are some serious "Black Friday Shoppers"... We love it... I know some people think we are crazy for getting out that early in the morning, but it's fun to us and we just enjoy it.. You can really find some good deals.... Note to self.. Make sure we arrive at Walmart before 5:00 am next year - especially if it's electronics we are buying...

I love spending time with Family... There's nothing like it.... !!! What a wonderful Christmas Eve!~

The Mcknight Family ( my mom's side of the family) met in Jackson , Tn for Christmas this year.... It was so nice being with family and laughing and cutting up.... I don't get to see my family too often, so it was nice to spend some time this evening celebrating Christmas and just being together....

-

My cousin Crystal lives in Nashville and we've decided it's dumb that we never get to see each other, so last month we decided we were going to change that! We are going to make it a priority to get together as often as we can!

This year was the first year without my Grandfather... I was a little sad, but he's so much better off and I hated him being in the nursing home... I miss my grandparents like crazy and I know I will get to see them one day and I can't wait!!!
