Christmas Eve at Mom's

We had our traditional Christmas Eve at Mom's house.  The only thing missing was Dad.  Mom made her great Chicken Chowder and we ate quickly so the kids could open their presents.  I remember how exciting that was.  It seemed like the parents took forever to eat!!!!

Bryson and Mom had a special gift to open together....they (and me) are going to see Beauty and the Beast and Mamma Mia the Musical when it comes to Savannah!  It will be a fun girls night out.  Bryson and Momma were so surprised when they opened it!!

Brett got a bike to keep at Grandmomma's house so that he can ride around her block.

Bryson's new outfit.  I think she looks like Punky Brewster!!

 Blake's favorite of the night...Camo Crocs!!

 And the traditional gift from Grandmomma and Grandaddy...Guiness 2011 and Ripley's 2011

Brett;s favorite gift of Christmas...a real Pow Pow...the pop gun from Bass Pro Shop.  He has shot this gun no less than 400 times (seriously) AND sleeps with it!!

 Bryson got new monogrammed luggage and a book light from Grandmomma and Grandaddy!

 From Brant: Monkey Butt Powder....Blake loves it!

As soon as we got home, Brett got a bath and Pow Powed some more.

We put the cookies and milk out for Santa....

and the reindeer food out for the reindeers!!!!  Now it's off to bed to wait for Santa and TRY to sleep!
