Gapen Christmas in Birmingham

On Sunday, we celebrated Christmas with Pop, Nani, the Houstons, and the Serios. We had a wonderful time! We visited for a little bit then ate a delicious lunch. After lunch, the kids opened all of their presents. There was a lot of excitement...

Trying to get a picture of Reed smiling. Presents were on his mind...

Anxiously waiting to open presents....

Playtime with big brother.

Reed opening some of his presents.

He loved the Toy Story Character Pack from Uncle Joe, Aunt Candice & Lexi.

Chase found Reed's marshmallows from his marshmallow gun.

We laughed and told Pop & Nani that they should have just given Chase a bag of Marshmallows.

Standing so good all by himself.

Chase opening one of his presents.

What's in the box? It's a MSU pillow with Chase's name on it!

Chase unwrapping another present.

Busy tearing more paper.

He liked this Elephant ball.

He also enjoyed playing with Knox's Police car.

Then, it was time for the big surprise!

John Deere Gators!!!

Reed waiting for his turn to back up.

Still in shock...

It was very cold outside, but the chilly weather didn't stop the boys.

They first started off driving in circles in the driveway.

They would die out laughing when they would crash into one another.

One happy little boy!

Reed running into Knox.

They then ventured out onto the road.

Back inside and warming up with a fun puzzle!

Some videos of Reed & Knox getting their John Deere Gators from Pop & Nani:

When Daddy was loading up the trailer, Reed said, "You mean it gets to come home with us!"
