Christmas at the Corbitt's

It was already a long day but we made it to the Corbitt's around 1:30 on Christmas Day.  Both Addie and Colt were great.  I had to drive because we figured out if Addie can see me, she's NOT happy.  Had to deal with a screaming/crying baby all the way to Montgomery on Thanksgiving.  not.fun.
 
Everyone was finishing their lunch, so we started digging in.  It was SO good!  Elyse cooked a turkey that was fab and mamama brought her famous dressing....we also had sweet potato casserole, squash casserole.  Delicious.  I brought a lemon ice box pie and peanut butter pie.
 
Addie was a little fussy off the bat just from the car ride, but after a good lunch she was good to go.
 

See what I mean??

Just love hanging out with the Corbitt kids and Ryder because the kids are starting to get along so well.  Colt and Troy play as well as 3 year olds play together and Addie, Justin and Ryder sort of ignore each other which means for easy play:)  I'm sure when Blaine gets to playing, Addie will be right there playing with him (I hope anyway).

Justin and Addie.

Making forts.


There's always time for this...

Do you notice anything funny about his picture?




Brian and I thought it was funny Rebecca took this picture...looks like we are a family...well, we are family but married to different people.

Justin enjoying Addie's new chair.


Josh having a good time...hahah


Love Elyse's face...

Just like Addie, Justin loved playing with the boxes and paper...why do we buy them gifts I don't know!

chaos...haha.  There was a lot going on...who knows what got thrown away on accident.






Love this picture...Addie: "my hero...look he's looking at me...I love him!"  Troy "get off the toy, get off the toy, I will do everything in my power to get this kid of this toy!!"


And then there's Blaine...when they are so easy.


Addie LOVES her new chair!!



Best group shot of the kids we could get.  All the boys are wearing their superman capes that KK made!

Sisters with kids minus one who was sleeping.
 
 
We managed to leave late afternoon and Colt and Addie slept the entire way home, good for Josh and I but we were worn out!  We had a wonderful time on this special day.  Next year Josh and I agreed to not travel on Christmas but to do Christmas with family on the weekend before or after. 
 
AND I've got some work to do...mom (KK) gave me her old embroidery machine and some start up items...SO you know what that means...may have some late nights coming up soon!

Christmas with Santa!!

Santa came!!  And was much more generous than I thought he would be...guess he couldn't help it.  Colt slept with us so he wouldn't accidentally see anything when he made his nightly trip to our bed in the middle of the night.  Santa spent a lot of time getting these items together...espcially the tool bench to the right of the tree:)  There were more parts to that than Santa thought!  But all so worth it!
 

Addie's things

Colt's things...

Colt was up first Christmas morning (well after me) at 7:30.  I realize as he gets older Christmas morning probably will start around 5...I'll enjoy these while he's young.  He didn't seem as excited as I had hoped especially following the night before at Nana and Pops'.  Still good though and loved his gifts from Santa.

New bike!!

Avengers!!



Nana and Pops made it over right after Colt woke up and Addie finally woke up too.







"Put up your guns..."

Somebody was a little fussy...so she got moved to the high chair with bananas that she didn't want.




Finally something good!  Waffles!  Using her new Christmas plate.

We had to convince Colt to sit and eat because Hulk and Captain America were hungry.


Addie using her new nap mat for school.

Colt trying out his new bike (not shown) and Addie with Pops.


It's not Christmas without trying to put something together...and having a little busy body helping.


Rebecca and Ryder came! 


Fun morning celebrating Christmas...now off to Auburn to see my side of the family at Elyse and Brian's.

Christmas Eve Fun!

 
Josh was out doing really last minute shopping so I had the kids...it was warm outside, had just rained and I decided to let the kids do what they wanted without worrying about getting dirty...so that's what they did...
 
 
We went to one of the parks in our neighborhood and they had a blast.  I think they were a little confused but enjoyed themselves:)
 






Awesome!  They were pretty cold once I stripped them, got them in the car and headed home.  Nothing a nice hot shower didn't take care of:)
