Christmas Part Three - Christmas Day

Christmas morning.

Burke was going nutso because the kids weren't waking up.

He was SO excited.

Cooper woke up first and got everyone else to open their eyes, too.

Bubba slept over, so we had Bubba (Burke's Braxton), Porter, Cooper, and Ryker.

And let's not forget Stella.

These boys were in San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears Heaven!

Check out that chain!

So much love!

Burke took the three youngest to their mom's later on Christmas Day.

It was just Burke and I for the remainder of Christmas.

We watched football and made a ham dinner.

My Braxton and Mia were sick and so we haven't been able to open gifts with them yet.

Hopefully this weekend!!!

 

Christmas Part Two - Christmas Eve

Burke had to work Christmas Eve morning.

I finished running errands, then went to his house to get ready.

Rian, Tyler, and Aria came over.

I was given a gift bag with this darling shirt and key chain.

Burke was given a bottle with candy in it that read, "Papa Squared."

Rian is pregnant with their second child...

Due a few weeks after Isis and Mia.

We went to Grandpa Dave's house for Christmas Eve dinner.

Dave is Burke's step-dad.

Burke's mama passed away a couple of years ago.

We ate yummy food and visited for a little bit.

The Grinch even made an appearance!

Tyler, Rian, and Aria came back over to open their gifts with us.

Papa spoiled Aria, per usual!

I got Aria and Kehlani personalized coloring books!

They are darling.

These two little misses LOVE coloring with Gigi.

Burke has been getting Rian a Holiday Barbie every year since she was born.

I love that this year's Barbie is a redhead!

Aria with her snow globe.

Grandpa Dave came over and visited a little bit.

He is very good about spending just a few minutes with each boy.

I was in bed by 9 pm.

Per usual.

 

Christmas Part One

I realized this year that I don't much like Christmas.

And that's okay.

But watching Burke go all out on these kids and grandbabies is magical.

Jackson, Isis, Kehlani, and Colton came over Friday night to open gifts and eat dinner.

Kehlani is pure, unequivocal magic.

Everything about her is merry and bright and JOY.

Papa got her a set of 48 ponies!

He also started a tradition of giving the granddaughters a snow globe each year.

He has a couple at his house that the girls have loved this season.

She was so excited to have her own!

This family, though.

Annnd, they made it Facebook official that there is a baby #2 on the way!

These were my gifts and I cannot love them more.

I am loving this new cheeser smile that she does!!!!

Colt was pretty stoked with the gift card Burke got him.

He is such a cute, cute boy.

This mama got socks!!!

A lot of socks.

Papa got a really cool, personalized whiskey barrel.

It's made of pine wood.

It's beautiful.

Finally, Papa got Lani a Minnie Mouse remote control car.

Magic.

Pure magic.
