CHRISTMAS EVE

On December 23rd, we went to Duncan to

stay the night and celebrate Christmas with

the McMurchy family.

Reed concentrating really hard on

this neat spinning toy.

Gran couldn't wait until the next day

to give Reed his gifts, so she gave them

to him that night.

It's an ABC book!

Reed singing into the microphone.

Reed wouldn't sit on Santa's lap for anything,

but he wasn't afraid of this Santa at all.

He would run up and give him a high five!

Reed opening his other present from Gran.

It's a piano and a microphone!

He loves yelling into the microphone.

Gran brought some cheese straws, and

Reed LOVED them. He kept going up to

the table and getting one for each hand.

Well, Gran thought she was being smart

by moving the cheese straws where Reed

couldn't reach them, but that didn't stop him.

He went into the kitchen and carried the

stool into the dining room. You can see

what he did next...

Reed laughing at Daddy.

Too cute!

Didi got Reed some tools. Now, Reed has

his very own toolbox.

A puzzle from Landry!

(Daddy has on Reed's safety goggles!)

After the McMurchy Family Christmas, we

went to Clarksdale to meet Lala for Christmas

Eve service.

After Church, we headed back home to Hernando!

When we arrived, Lala couldn't stand it any longer

and had to give Momma a gift early. She said it

was something that Momma has always wanted...

Reed loved playing with the Hulk gloves.

He thought they were so cool because

they'd make noises when he hit something.

It's a family tradition to open one gift on

Christmas Eve, so here is Reed opening his

gift. I love this picture because of his belly!

Lala showing Reed how the See 'n Say works.

We had a wonderful time at the McMurchy

Family Christmas. Thanks for everything!
