Santa came early to our house in Birmingham.
We celebrated our "1st Christmas" together as a family on
Thursday, Dec. 23rd.
John Tanner loved opening his first gift from Santa. He's good at reaching and ripping!!
Our cute little elf......
Thanks for the outfit Angela!
Bentley had a BLAST trying to eat all the wrapping paper.
Mama Helen gave you a cute outfit and socks to wear on Christmas Eve.
After opening gifts... we packed up and headed to Greenville, MS.
~2nd Christmas in Greenville, MS~
Emme and Grayson were there to greet you. Actually.. everyone was across the street at Aunt Laura's making ravioli's and they ran over to meet you. It was such a special moment for me!!
The Walker kids gave you that cute hat. We had Christmas with them before we went to church.
Ready to attend the children's mass at St. Jospeh's Catholic Church...

You tried to put everyone's fingers in your mouth.
~3rd Christmas in Wetumpka, AL~
We left at 7AM on Sunday, Dec. 27th and drove 6 hrs to Wetumpka, AL to have Christmas with the Sumners family. You, daddy, and Bentely slept most of the way and I drove. It snowed the whole way.
Once we arrived in Wetumpka.. it was still snowing and the sun was out....what a dream to see with all the windows in the new room.
We also ate a late lunch in the new room and everything was delicious. The oyster dressing is my favorite!!
This is exactly what you wanted John Tanner!!! I've been looking at these puzzles...thanks Pops and Mama Helen.
Playing Secret Santa....
Pops had a secret box with $50.00 in it if you could figure out how to open it. We all had 15 sec... I WON!!
Meeting cousin Sarah and Amber at the lake!
The other Walker family drove from High Point NC to meet you....
They were a little excited... can you tell??!!

Getting Chocolate "wasted" on New Years Eve
This is only funny if you've seen the movie Grown-Ups with Adam Sandler.
The chocolate fountain was a big hit...thanks for bringing it Dede!!!
I don't even know what to say. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful and loving family. We had so much fun, but we are exhausted!!! I wish we could get together more during the year! Love to all and keep in touch!!
