Christmas Day 2014

We had a great Christmas, and I want to tell y'all about it before its February. Story of my life on this blog huh? 

So, Mr. Hunt and I decided that we will be spending Christmas morning at our home from now on so that we can start our own traditions. Then after opening gifts we would go to see the rest of the family.

I also decided to keep the tradition that my family had where we don't put out any gifts under the tree until the kids go to sleep. So, when Jane went to sleep on Christmas Eve, there were no gifts. Then when she woke up, she saw this....

She also saw that Santa brought her tons of fun stuff including a kitchen!

Last year, Jane couldn't open any gifts so this was the first year that she enjoyed opening all her presents...and a few of Mr. Hunt's and mine as well. Every present that she opened, she also wanted to open and set up or play with right then. This made for a very slow opening process, but we enjoyed every minute of it. 

Once we were done opening up gifts, we ate some home made coffee cake. A cake we made for baby Jesus' birthday. Then we packed up and headed over to my parents house. Im sad that I didn't get any pictures there of us opening presents, but Jane got a TON more toys. Good thing we didn't bring any with us.
The next day, we drove over to Savannah to see the gingerbread houses. There were some really great ones and Jane was interested.

But she also liked all the HUGE trees in the lobby.

A week before Christmas, we celebrated Christmas with my Mom's side of the family. We always do some sort of gift exchange, the "kids" open gifts, and we eat. But our best tradition is the girl's picture and boy's picture. We've been taking these pictures every year on Christmas since before I was born. I hope to continue this tradition because its so great to see all the years gone by. My grandma has them hanging in her house. Its so great tot see all the new additions and how everyone grows so fast. We were missing a few girls and boys this year though.

Two days after Christmas we hopped in the car and drove to Augusta to have Christmas with Mr. Hunt's side of the family.

But first we went to visit Grandmama. Jane loves her so much!

Then we went over to Mr. Hunt's Aunt's house to open gifts and eat some yummy food. Its always great to get together with everyone even if its just a short afternoon trip.

We had a great Christmas this year. It was crazy to think that next year we will have a three year old and an eight month old.

Love,
