Our Christmas Tale 2007

On the Saturday before Christmas, I had an ornament swap with my mom here at our house. Carter took the boys to his mom's house for some Christmas cookie making.

Truman got to meet his Uncle Chris for the first time

Walker, Leeza, Kaisey and Brandon all had fun with Mema's train.

A cute picture of Truman I had to share.

On Sunday, Truman was Baptized at church. Here is Walker posing for the camera

Truman is hiding while getting sprinkled, but I assure you, he was there...sleeping no less.
Photobucket
He is a bit blurry, but here he is after the fact getting walked through the sanctuary.

Family picture at the church...sans a missing Walker who was taken home early.

After the sprinkling we all headed to my parent's house for a wonderful luncheon. We had a huge crowd and yummy food to eat. It was a great time.
Carter and I decided that since we would be having 4 Christmases on the 25th, that we would have a family tradition of exchanging family presents on Christmas Eve morning. It was fun and it spread the holiday out nicely.

Later in the day we headed up to the Reed's house for a party and then got the boys home and dressed for bed and put Santa's goodies out for him. We convinced Walker to leave milk instead of beer and even though neither wanted to cooperate we got a picture of them under the tree with Santa's goodies.
Photobucket
Look at what Santa left for the boys!

Truman also got into the act, too.

Truman had a great time playing with paper and bows while sitting in this box at my parent's house. We went over there right after our house to eat breakfast and have presents.
Photobucket
Mimi and Pappy got Walker a Plasma Car. Carter and I got our new camera. Truman got a Jumperoo (which he got before Thanksgiving)
Photobucket
After presents at my parents we went to Mema's house for lunch and presents. Here is Truman with Britney.

Aunt Erynn, Uncle David, Brandon and Kaisey gave Walker a Vet Hospital. He loved it.
Photobucket
Truman slept through all of the unwrapping (good boy), and after we loaded up the car, we headed to the farm for Christmas with my grandparents. Walker got a guitar from Gassy and Uncle Chuck.
Photobucket
He also tried his Vet skills on Arthur the cat (I can't believe he obliged!!)
Photobucket
Walker helped Chuck with our Christmas blessing. An amazing rendition of "Amazing Grace"
Photobucket
Truman dressed in his finest.

We are all trying to recover still. We had Christmas last night at my mom's house with her mom, "Gigi" tonight we will go to my mom's dad's house for Christmas there.
We are so blessed to have such good family and friends to celebrate the holidays with. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas, too.
