Santa's Little Helper

Our Chirstmas celebration kicked off on Friday night, the eve before Christmas Eve.

Waverly and Harlan were all dressed in Christmas attire, with Waverly's pink Christmas tree shirt and Harlan's onesie declaring himself as "Mommy's little elf".  Waverly loves her little brother and always asks to hold him!

That evening, our little family gathered at our home so that the little ones could be didn't have to travel.  Mamaw Gail, Go-Go, Uncle Matt and Great-Aunt Phyllis came out for our country Christmas. 

We tucked many gifts under the tree, waiting in anticipation of festive fun for dinner to be finished and Christmas candy to be devoured.  Finally, it was time!  Waverly helped hand out some of the gifts, stopping to fix each bow.  She did a great job as Santa's little helper!

Harlan wasn't much phased by the festivities.  He chose to snooze through his first Christmas in comfort and let his sister open his gifts!

Waverly opened up her first gifts and then only wanted to play with her new toys!  She was delighted with her new dishes and her very own cleaning set.  She loves to sweep the floor and was tickled to have a broom her own size!

 After exhausting herself with the first couple of gifts, Waverly had some help from Mamaw Gail opening her many presents.  She is a little spoiled, as we all know and admit!

Everyone had a blast opening gifts from each other and just a nice family visit.  We can't wait to see all the aunts, uncles and cousins sometime soon!
