Christmas with the Lott Family

This Christmas morning, we opened gifts at home with Nana & Pappy before the other family members arrived. Isaiah was up most of the night, so he didn't wake up in time to open gifts.

The girls getting ready to open presents.


Makenna was thrilled with her gift from Madi -- so much, she gave her a big hug!

The girls love their new Princess capes!

Isaiah decided to wake up and join us.

Isaiah opening his present from Makenna.

He definitely enjoyed getting "Percy". The last few weeks he has been really interested in Thomas the Train.

Now onto gift opening with the rest of the Lott family. (I can't believe I didn't take many pictures, but here are a few highlights.)

The girls received an easel that they can use chalk or dry erase markers on -- a real favorite!


LPS (Littlest Pet Shop) was the most wanted toy at our house this year. I'll have to take a picture of them playing sometime. When they play LPS, it's the best the girls have ever played together. I'm glad they found something they can do together.


Here is Uncle Rick causing problems . . . Halle was more interested in him than in opening presents!


I think this is one of the only shots I have of some of the family.


Pappy will enjoy his binoculars . . . he loves to feed the birds and watch all the different types that come to the feeders.

Again, Isaiah slept through the gift opening . . . he just woke up and ate some lunch as we were finishing up.


Such a big boy!


Tractors have always been facinating to Isaiah, so he like his John Deere tractors. The Steelers blanket was a hit from the get-go. He drug it around with him everywhere.


I'm sure sunglasses aren't what you expect to get for Christmas, however it's a great time of year to buy them. I couldn't see paying $4.00 for them in the summer, but $.99 at the end of the season -- I'm all over that!


Tractors, tractors and more tractors! Yea, Zaya!

We had an enjoyable, relaxing Christmas. The kids were so well behaved (we were almost in shock). There was only one comment of ungratefulness, so our recent efforts must be working. Praise the Lord! We are so furtunate and thankful for all that we have been blessed with.

A special thanks to the Lotts for all the gifts and for the food and other items you brought. It made my job so much easier!
