First, is that my family always got up super early on Christmas morning to have some time for Santa and then head down to my grandparents' house for Christmas breakfast! Now there is nothing better than great breakfast food on Christmas morning, and you can't convince me otherwise.
Next is that when we got to my grandparents' we did pictures. And not just a normal group shot, they had a professional photographer there every year! It wasn't until years later that I realized how strange that was, but hey now we have great pictures of everyone from every year. Oh, and did I mention that each immediate family that made up our extended family wore matchey, cheesy outfits? Yeah, pretty great.
A new favorite is going to Fantasy In Lights with little ones. I only remember going once when I was little and it was pretty cool, but watching a small child go through the lights in awe is priceless! We went this past Friday with Davis and he LOVED it! He also got to see Santa after and followed around the characters at Callaway Gardens, mostly the penguin. He attacked that poor penguin at least 10 times to give it hugs. He even once ran in the middle of someone else's picture to hug the penguin, it was hilarious (and those taking the picture weren't mad, they thought it was funny.) The whole experience was just precious though and I can't wait to go again next year! :)
And last the best part about Christmas for me is getting together with family. I think that's high on everybody's list. It's always fun to get everyone together and just spend some time hangin out.
Hope everyone has a great week preparing for Christmas!! And good luck if you don't have your shopping done. :)
