Our First Christmas!! (Part 1)

Garrett & Walker's first Christmas was GREAT!! They actually had a really big Christmas before Santa even made an appearance. It started a couple of weeks early with an annual get-together with friends. Last year, the four couples had a total of 3 kids and this year we doubled to 6! Glad to say we contributed more than our fair share to the increase :) And amazingly, we got a decent picture of all 6 of them!

Then, Grandpa Jim and Sue came to visit, bearing lots of gifts to entertain the boys. Another fun day!

We celebrated Christmas with Aunt Cindy (and the rest of mommy's family) early. Santa (aka Uncle Charlie) made a surprise appearance! The kids had a blast with him, even though Abbie and Brady figured out within a minute who he was. They stole his costume and became Santa and Mrs. Claus.

A couple of days before Christmas, we visited with Daddy's family. First stop was in Wytheville to see Great Grandma June. We had a great visit!

Then, it was off to Marion to see the rest of Daddy's family. We had a very fun day and were showered with way too many fun toys!

On Christmas Eve, we celebrated with Mommy's family. We missed Auntie Jessica! But, she joined us via webcam (along with Jansen, Kenzie, and Uncle Chris) so that she could still be part of the celebration.

Papaw always gets the grandkids a fishing pole for their first Christmas. Garrett was having a fun with his and was ready to reel in a big catch!

Garrett also loved Auntie Jen's jingle bell earrings.

We had such an amazing time celebrating with all of our family and are so grateful for all of the generous gifts! Next post...Santa comes to the Overbay house!
