Christmas was busy as usual this year. On Christmas Eve, Aunt Chel and Aaron went to church with me, Peyton and Lance and then the three of us went and ate Chinese. When we got home, we read the night before Christmas, sat out cookies and tracked Santa and then Peyton was excited to go to bed. On Christmas morning Oma and Opa came down and Papa, Grandma Di and Uncle Tommy came over to watch the boys open presents and then we had homemade cinnamon rolls! We then went to the Tryon Christmas at Uncle Gene and Aunt Katey's and Peyton had a blast playing with Kale who is 5 years old and we got to meet the newest Tryon Slade (5 months). After dinner we went to St. Joe for the Young Christmas and we all got into our jammies and had Christmas, it was a great day!

We stayed the night at mom and dads and me and my sisters and our men played catchphrase and we had a blast, sooo funny and the girls won for the 2nd time and we beat the boys on sports, they were a little embarrased and upset:)

Nothing like spending time with family, it was the best!!

Seeing Santa on the Holiday Train

Peyton has seen Santa 4 times this season and has asked for "The Biggest Optimus Prime Ever" every time! He had his school Christmas Program and we were so excited that he actually danced and sang this year and so happy that Oma and Opa were able to come down, we know it's a long drive for a 2 minute performance and we are so grateful they were able to be a part of it!! Peyton is really excited for Christmas this year and that he only has one day left of school for the year!!
