Merry Christmas! (Part 1)

We had the best Christmas yet!!  Champs really "got it" this year and it made it so exciting.  He understood that Christmas is both Jesus' birthday and the day that Santa comes....maybe not why they go together, but a lot of talk of both Jesus and Santa nonetheless!

Champs and I headed to Bishopville for the annual Christmas caroling on Tuesday night.  I didn't take any pictures, but do have this one little video clip.  Champs really enjoyed it.  He loved when we sang Rudolph and Jingle Bells and we even added Go Tell It On the Mountain just for him! :)


We setup Champs in a big boy bed at Che and Poppy's house for the first time and he sure loved that bed.  I don't blame him - look how cozy this looks!



We made a gingerbread house on Christmas Eve morning.  Champs was really into it!




Christmas Eve night we went to the church service at my hometown church!  We thought Champs might could sit through it, but he kept talking really loudly about all the things the minister was saying (angels, Jesus, etc) and then started singing The Wheels on the Bus real loudly so we took him to the nursery and brought him back in to light his candle for Silent Night which he loved.  Here are some pics from before we went to church!









After church we had my grandparents over for Christmas Eve dinner!  It was also their 66th Anniversary!!




We had fun with the clappers at dinner.  Loved seeing my grandparents with their crowns on!








After dinner we had so much fun putting out Champs' Santa.  I should mention huge props to Barrett for putting together the Gator truck the entire time Champs was napping on Christmas Eve!!





Christmas Part 2 coming soon!
