Christmas 2015

The month of December came and went very quickly. We celebrated the Christmas season throughout the month with different activities. The older the boys are getting the more fun it is. They think everything is so magical and it makes it such a fun celebration. Santa Sunday at CCB is a fun tradition. I like it bc it gets our Santa visit in before Christmas! This year Whit never changed or added to his list. All he wanted was a remote control helicopter. Charlie just repeated whatever Whit said. I guess it was an easy year for Santa! Whit had his Christmas program and was a wiseman. I was sooooo proud of him bc he had a speaking part and he did it so well! He walked to the mic with confidence and spoke clearly and loudly. My momma heart was so proud!! Another tradition the boys love is the North Pole Express. I am kinda over it at this point but I have learned to always book the first train of the night and you usually are ok. The boys love it so I guess we will keep doing it for a little while! Christmas was a little different this year. The Pardue family was supposed to spend Christmas in Bham but Hk pulled a stunt and wanted to be in the hospital up until Christmas. It was MM's year to be wit JD's family so it was just Katherine and I in Bham. We continued our tradition of spending Christmas Eve with the Clinton's. It was a little quieter this year but still fun! We were the only ones who spent the night with mom and dad.... honestly its just easier to stay since we are already there for dinner. Christmas morning the boys were ready to go about 6:45 which was late for us! Kat and Alex came over about 7:15 so they didn't miss too much!! We enjoyed our big Christmas breakfast as usual. Later in the day we headed home and then realized we had nothing to do the rest of the day and nothing to eat so our Christmas Day ended with tornadoes and frozen pizza. The next time it is just our family in Bham we will just hang at mom and dad's all day :) Thankfully on the 28th we all headed to the beach for a week to celebrate mom's 60th birthday. We had a great week and i didn't take barely any pictures bc we just had fun riding bikes, running, and hanging out! It was a great way to end the year!
