Christmas Day

On Christmas morning we spend the early morning at our house seeing what Santa has left for a good little girl. After checking things out and of course giving everything a try we get ready and head to Kane's parents house for our traditional gumbo prepared my Kane. I am not sure how many years we have carried on this tradition. I am thinking at least five and hopefully we have many more years to come.

One of my favorite things that happened this Christmas was sharing the true meaning of Christmas with Lydia. I know that she fully doesn't understand but I want her to know that there is SO MUCH more to Christmas than just getting gifts and Santa. Early in December Lydia had received two Nativity Scenes. Of course her favorite individual was Baby Jesus. She would carry them around wanting to wrap them up and hold them tight. It was so precious! So, on Christmas morning we asked her what today was. We got little response. We soon told her that it was Christmas and Baby Jesus birthday. She quickly said..Happy Birthday Jesus. It was priceless. The true reason for the season.

I love taking a quick pic while she is still in her bed on Christmas morning. She has always been such a happy little girl!
Love this pic! Lydia coming around the corner to check out what Santa has brought her.

Taking some time to shoot some hoops :)

Digging in her stocking. She wasn't too sure about this, we had to tell her to keep looking.

Uncle Kye is always a BIG hit when he comes home for the holidays. I am sure he thinks he has a mini me attached to his leg. She insisted that he help open all the gifts. It was very cute.

What a great holiday! I am excited to see what next Christmas brings us with two little ones. They sure make it fun and entertaining :)
