Merry Christmas!!!...

I don't know how it happens but for some reason Christmas season [every year] is so incredibly busy for us. We started off to Midland Thursday evening to celebrate Christmas Eve with the Leary crew. Sophie had so much fun playing with all the little ones and of course...OPENING PRESENTS!! We stuffed our faces with quail breakfast the morning of Christmas Eve at Grumps and Memaw's...ate lunch and exchanged gifts with Grandma, Papa John, Uncle Jeff, Aunt Sonja, Reagan and Mason...then ate AGAIN and did the Leary Christmas Eve gift exchange. You'd think Sophie was "gifted-out" at this point but she was still patiently awaiting Santa's "pesants".







Drove home Christmas Eve evening to prepare for Santa's arrival. Mike and I woke early Christmas morning and nearly had to wait two hours for our crashed out little one to wake up. She finally woke at 9am...SHEESH! It was worth the wait though to see her open all her presents with a huge smile!

Late lunch of baked ziti is tradition...so we headed to Wilson for the Wied family's yummy food. Sophie got to meet baby Selma, who is adorable, and visit with all my family.




Then...it was off to Rammie and Rampa's for more Christmas presents. We ate [yes, again] chicken and dumplings [YUMMO] and all Mom's baked goodies. Sophie scored big with more presents from her grandparents and great grandma. GOOD HEAVENS!





THEN...Sunday we headed out to my Dad's to celebrate our Christmas stocking exchange. YUP...ate some more. [by now we are totally fat and disguising but couldn't be happier] Sophie, of course, opened more presents from Chachie and Jen, Grandpa and Grandma, Mike-Mike and Davy and even my Aunt Kim.





We can't thank everyone enough for all the awesome gifts this year. Sophie is having a terrible time trying to figure out what to play with first but is busy throughout the entire day, nonetheless. What a great Christmas!!! Hope yours was as amazing as ours!

Merry Christmas everyone!!

Love.
