"For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
In the wee hours of the morning, Austin and I finally had everything set up for Christmas morning...
The morning of Christmas, Austin and I woke up early. We wanted to be awake before the boys because there was no hiding those bikes and we wanted to see their reactions when they saw them.
They were so excited! It was still dark out, otherwise I think we would've had to take them outside right then to give those bikes a whirl! I won't give you a play by play for the morning. I'll just show some of the pictures...
After opening just our family's gifts that morning, we headed outside to ride bikes and play with a couple other outdoor toys. Would you believe we had the street to ourselves at 7:30am? I stayed out for a little bit with the boys, but then headed in to prepare breakfast and get things in order for our company later that day. When the boys came in, just before breakfast, we skyped with Mamaw and Papaw while the boys opened gifts from them. Unfortunately, skyping and helping with gifts didn't leave hands for taking pictures:( They had so much fun though and we're thankful for the gifts Mamaw and Papaw sent to us. Later in the afternoon, my in-laws came to our house for a late lunch and gifts for the kids from Nana and Papa...
I think that picture is so funny!
After lunch, Lauren was so kind and graciously offered to stay at our house with the boys while the adults went to see a movie. She did awesome and the boys loved having her there. They LOVE their cousins! Thanks Lauren!
Later that night, after everyone left, the boys insisted they were starving. I think they'd been so excited they hadn't eaten much all day. Soooo, while Daddy cleaned up...

Although we missed our KY family terribly, we had a wonderful Christmas.
