Michael, Meredith, Myla, Selah & Ramsey
We were SO excited to have snow Christmas morning. When Myla finished opening her presents and playing for a little while, she was ready to get out in the snow and play!
Myla ready to play and snowball Daddy!
What a special day for Selah. Her first Christmas and first snow all wrapped up in one!
Sweet sisters in the snow!
These two couldn’t get enough of the snow!
Proud of their snowman!!
This post has a ton of pictures, but how can you post about Christmas morning with kids and not have a lots and lots of pictures! This Christmas was so fun with Myla. She loved getting presents. She didn’t care who they came from…Mommy & Daddy, Mimi, Sae Sae or Santa! She just loved unwrapping presents. In fact, today she told my mom that all Santa brought her was a Barbie. That was the only thing she specifically asked for, so I guess she thought that was all he brought her. She said that Mommy and Daddy brought her everything else. Oh well…it was still fun!!
One of the most exciting things was waking up to a WHITE Christmas!! It was beautiful! We were thrilled to see the snow outside since it is such a treat down South, especially on Christmas!
Santa ate all of his cookies…or maybe Mrs. Claus did! HA!
Myla’s stash from Santa. She is very into art and coloring right now, so she got this easel. She has already played and played with it. I think she will really enjoy it for years to come. She also got a sleeping bag for our “campouts” in the den.
Selah was obviously oblivious to what was going on, but she couldn’t be left out! She got some new toys that she has enjoyed playing with as well. I will have to say that Myla has enjoyed them too!
Myla was up by 6:30 telling us she was READY to GET UP! I have a video of her coming in the den so I didn’t get any pictures as she walked in. She was excited, but I don’t thing she really knew what to think. She just kind of looked around before she started digging in to everything.
The first thing she wanted to do was open her stocking. Stockings were her favorite thing this Christmas. She has been wanting to put things in them for weeks now. We told her that Mommy and Daddy put things in her stocking. Hey, Mom & Dad need some credit!!! She loved everything that was in there!
Looking to see what else was stuffed in there
This picture is kind of ironic because she has a toothbrush in one hand and chocolate in the other! Notice which one she more affection for. HA!!
I think she was enjoying opening her stocking!
Yes, I was one of those mom’s that SWORE I would NEVER buy any clothing with characters on it. Well, that totally goes out the window when you actually have a child that LOVES all things princess or character! Oh well, they’re only little once, right?
Myla in her sleeping bag.
After looking at Santa stuff and stockings, she was ready to open presents. She has been eyeing these presents for her under the tree for weeks and has been SO ready to open them!! Every night before she went to bed for the past couple of weeks, she has asked, “When I wake up, will it be Christmas morning?” She was very ready for Christmas morning so she could dig into these gifts. She loves opening presents. Michael said that next year we need to wrap her Santa presents and she would be more interested in them!
With her new movie and new backpack.
Myla loves to dress up! She absolutely loved this Belle dress up costume. I love the look on her face when she saw it. So sweet!
Her favorite saying this year when she would open a gift was, “I love it!! It’s what I always wanted!”
Of course, she had to put it on immediately! I think she makes a very beautiful Belle!
Once she was dressed as Belle, she went to work on her easel.
Myla was SO ready for Selah to wake up Christmas morning to see her toys, but she also wanted to “help” her open her presents! Finally, after Myla had already been up for over an hour, Selah decided to join us!
Myla immediately started pulling stuff out of her stocking and bringing her gifts to her. Since Puffs are her favorite food, Santa thought it was only appropriate to give her some in her stocking.
Watching her ball popper toy…she loves it!
We started to see a trend as Selah got stuff out of her stocking…
…as long as she could put it in her mouth, she was happy!
Figuring out how to turn her ball popper on.

Myla “helping” Selah open her presents!
Sweet Selah playing in the vast array of toys!
Love these two!!!!!!!!!!!
Did a tornado come through here???
Myla got a harmonica in her stocking. I’ll probably regret this later!
I have several more posts for Christmas since we visited several places to see family!
I hope all of you had a WONDERFUL Christmas this year as well!
There was much excitement at our house tonight before bedtime with the expectation of Santa’s visit! Poor Selah turned in early since she is exhausted from hardly any sleep yesterday!
I had to get at least one picture of them in their Christmas pajamas!
Santa’s cookie plate!
Myla leaving the cookies out for Santa.
All set!! Now she’s ready for bed. Can’t wait for morning!!!
Yesterday we had Christmas with the Meurriers. We always have so much fun when we get together! I am so thankful for family!
We had to make a stop at Sis Sis’s house on our way to pick up some gifts. She, of course, was excited to see the girls! I tried to get some pictures, but Selah was not in the picture taking mood! This one was the best I got!
Me with Sis Sis and the girls.
When we got out to Granddaddy and Sae Sae’s house, Selah played in the floor with Granddaddy while….
Myla and Sae Sae made Oreo cake balls…YUM!
Myla and Sae Sae busy in the kitchen. I will say that Sae Sae has more patience with this kind of thing than I do!
Mommy & Selah
Selah played and played before we ate dinner. She had a good time at Granddaddy and Sae Sae’s house, but she thought sleep was really overrated there. More about that in a minute!
Aunt Mary and Uncle Spencer – Exciting news for these 2…we found out at Thanksgiving that they are going to have a baby!!! YAY!!! We couldn’t share until now, but we are so excited for them and look forward to having the new baby with us next year at Christmas!
Selah is getting pretty efficient at pulling up to standing. Here she is trying to get Sae Sae’s attention while we were eating supper.
I think this picture is so sweet. She was looking at Granddaddy while he read the Christmas story out of Luke before we opened our presents. She looks like she is really listening to him.
Myla helped Granddaddy be Santa by handing out everyone’s presents.
Selah did pretty good opening her gifts. She got some new toys that I know she is going to enjoy!
Of course, Myla thought Sae Sae might need some help opening her gifts!
Selah was surrounded by all of her new toys, but she was still most interested in the tree!
Myla was so proud of her new walkie talkies from Aunt Mary and Uncle Spencer!
And this was Daddy’s reaction when Myla got Beauty & The Beast. He just LOVES watching Disney movies over and over and over and over and over………
The plan was for Myla and Daddy to sleep on an air mattress in the living room while Selah and I slept in Michael’s old room because the baby bed is in there. Myla LOVED playing on the air mattress before bed time! I say that was the plan, because that totally changed! Selah went to bed around 7:30, which is pretty normal. We all went to bed around 11, and Selah thought that would be a great time to get up and play. She never does this at home, but I guess she knew she was somewhere different, and like I said earlier, sleep was overrated!! She was up for over an hour when Michael finally came in and said he was going to take her home. I literally don’t know how long it would have taken her to go to sleep! So, she and Michael headed home after midnight. She’s a little stinker!!!
All in all, we had a wonderful Christmas! Myla is SO excited about Santa coming tonight! I can’t wait to see her in the morning with all of her new stuff! I think Santa is even more fun as an adult!!!!!!!!!!
