Christmas Eve we gathered at Pepaw and Memaw's house.
The family was so excited for Santa to visit!
Mommy & Harlan
Harlan's first Christmas at just nine days old! My little fella wasn't much impressed with the idea of a holiday, but did seem to like looking at the Christmas lights on the tree. He was just happy to be held by his Mommy, and the rest of the family too!
Leading up to tonight, we had talked to Waverly often about Santa Clause. Still, I wasn't surprised when she wanted a tight cuddle when the man with the big white beard and the naughty-nice list knocked on the door!
Harlan was nearly as concerned when Santa appeared...
Waverly still wasn't sure of Santa... but a little sneak peak behind that white beard and she found her "Pe-Paw"!
Even then, she didn't want to sit with Santa just yet. She brightened as the rest of us had a nice laugh, though!
But...some of us might have deviated a bit from the usual pose...
Get him, Me-Maw!
Santa handed out the presents under the tree. Waverly was happy to unwrap more gifts, beginnig with gentle tears of the paper and then becoming more enthusiastic about finding out what was inside!
Harlan took this Christmas in stride too, happily snoozing as he was passed from relative to relative. Waverly helped Mommy open his presents. We both loved the soft blue blanket that was made just for him!
Mommy's sweet girl!
Pe-Paw wanted to take Waverly to show her the last present, a present so big it was kept hidden in another room! Waverly didn't know what to think when she saw the big truck!
I can see her driving her little brother around the farm this summer...
It was a great Christmas Eve. We wrapped up the evening with hugs and kisses and "we wish you a merry Christmas's" before going home to snuggle in our nice warm beds and wait for Santa to visit (again). Oh, what joys!
