Week of Christmas Cheer

We have had a fun week of Christmas happenings. I didn't pay mind to how I was uploading my pictures for this post so I will work backwards......

Today we (my mom, aunt Jenny, and Everett) went to the Grove Park Inn to see the Gingerbread houses.
The GPI delivered for my mom and aunt as well. Full of Christmas goodness and gorgeous decor.

You just can't help but get into the Christmas spirit when you're here.

Everett had a handful of meltdowns during our visit this morning. Some minor. Some major. We are working on it. Three is a tough age.

But the behavior issues didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves.

Last night we opened our gifts from Aunt Jenny and my mom. The boys are loving the whole opening presents thing. It is really fun to watch.


This fire truck was Hampton's gift from Noni and is very popular.

And Eleanor got this sweet handmade pillow from my sister Mary. Perfect for her nursery.






I heart this sweet face!






And then earlier this week Gigi came for a visit to do Christmas.



The boys had so much fun. We've had a great week with visiting family. The boys are already enjoying their new toys and now know what those wrapped boxes under the Christmas tree are. I am wondering if they are going to tear into the remainders when our backs are turned! We are looking forward to this weekend with just the five of us making precious memories (with I am sure a meltdown here and there sprinkled in between!) but fun none the less.
