We had a very Merry Christmas in Sonora this year. I went out to my parents house in Sonora that Friday before Christmas. My mom was there, and my dad and sister had the day off too. We spent the day getting ready for Christmas....baking, cleaning, wrapping. That afternoon Mike came over and we got ready to go on a date night! We went out to eat with 14 other friends at Wasabi in Fayetteville to Celebrate Christmas and had so much fun. When we got back to Sonora to spend the night, the girls were there too, so we had a big sleepover on Christmas Eve Eve. On Christmas Eve we all woke up early like it was Christmas day and had a big breakfast. Todd and Jennie, and Kelley and Gran came out to Sonora too. We opened presents, ate Christmas lunch, took family pictures and went to church. It was a fun Christmas Eve as always in Sonora. Some big gifts I remember.....We surprised Todd and Jennie with a new ottoman for their new house, I surprised mom with some Vera Bradley. Aunt Phyllis surprised Mike with a new double deer stand. Jennie made Alex some bing bags with his name on it. Alex got some cute clothes, some wooden shoes from Holland, a name block. Dad got mom a new comforter set. Aunt Phyllis got me some new China. Kelley got a sewing machine. Mary Frannie got some Barbies! Kelley made me a shower curtain. All sorts of neat thoughtful gifts. We had a very blessed Christmas this year in Sonora. We are so lucky to be able to spend a day together as a family. We look some pictures of the day....Enjoy!
I got up early and fixed the girls hair - Mabry's didn't last that long but Mary's curls stayed in
We put Alex in the bumbo to open his stocking and he looked like he enjoyed it

Max and Laney decided to sit on top of the tubs and sing us a song in their microphones - so entertaining these two are
DIAPERS AND WIPES! woohoo!! This will help us last a little longer - we have yet had to buy diapers for this little guy.
Matching hog hats for the boys!
Dad loves handing out the gifts - just double check the to and from :)
A motercycle track!!! MAx's favorite present - still plays with it everyday.
My parents got a clock from Kell
The cutest bag from my mom for Alex - a funny story too. Mom didn't have to pay for monogramming - the bag was already like this! It was even on sale because they had to find an Alex. Mom saw it and say - I've found the bag an Alex! This will be a cute bag for Alex to use.
Max got Laney a singamagig - Minnie mouse! This thing was not easy to find either -sold out everywhere. Finally found it on diapers.com of all places.
Surprise mom! I DID get you some Vera Bradley - a new case for your bible
Mom got Alex shoes from Holland for his Heritage.
Kelley made me a shower curtain for the "boys bathroom"
