Then we came home and got ready for our family Christmas eve celebration, which consisted of an amazing church service, a lasagna dinner (which Shawn has declared a new tradition) and the opening of just one Christmas present. The kids each got new hooded towels with their names on them.
Shawn and I were so excited about Christmas morning, because we knew it meant we could share some of the most exciting news with the kids (especially Reilly!):

Reilly's reaction to her super special Doll House (that should be included in the picture, but I was more focused on her expression) :)

After we had a monkey bread and fruit breakfast, Nana, Kelly and cousin Shaun came over for brunch. 
After lunchtime, DeeDee and Poppi and Uncle Watts came for even more fun. After they got here, we deicded to go ahead and reveal the kids' final, biggest, Christmas present.....a bounce house!!! It is the best one ever....small enough to fit in the playroom but big and sturdy enough to go outside in the warmer months!! And the kids LOOOOVE it!
DeeDee and Poppi brought with them the gifts from Uncle Brandon and Aunt Angel for the kids since we wouldn't get to see them on Christmas day. They thought of the best gift for B!! Brandon's old work cell phones!!! A whole bag of them!! Braxton was in heaven, and walked around all day with one phone to each ear :)
After all the present opening was completed, Memama, Uncle Clarke, Carson and Cooper all came up and joined us for a big, fancy Christmas dinner that I had been cooking all day. It was a super fun ending to a very special, very crazy Christmas day! We are just so blessed to have so much family living so close :)
