This was a Christmas to remember! We started out in Madison with Jay's parents and sister. Tuttle really feels at home at his Grandmommy and Granddaddy's house and is very specific about what he likes to do while he is there.
His current favorite pastime is riding around in Granddaddy's 1984 Chevrolet S-10 ("Baby Blue"), and he even gets to drive sometimes. The whole family, including the dog, got in on the action this time.
Tuttle enjoyed helping Grandmommy with her traditional pretzels. He helped eat most of them, as well.
Everyone enjoyed Granddaddy annual reading on Christmas Eve. He reads a collection of famous poems, The Night Before Christmas, and Jay reads the biblical Christmas story. I am honored to be part of this tradition.
Soon after Tuttle went to bed, Santa Claus came and left way too many toys!
The next morning, Tuttle took inventory of his loot. Although he did not really "get" Santa this year, he really took an interest in his new toys and even opened up a few presents from the rest of the family.
***Disclaimer: While all these pictures are of Tuttle, everyone else opened a TON of presents, but once a baby enters the picture, the focus and photo taking are all on them! :)
Since Toy Story is such a hit right now, Woody has proved to be Tuttle's favorite surprise!
Grandmommy and Granddaddy remembered to get Bella a present!
After naps for everyone, we headed to Athens to Granny's house to celebrate with Jay's extended family. I think 29 people made it! We participated in the annual White Elephant game. Jay ended up with hammers- a perfect gift for our new home! :)
Beautiful Brooke- One of my favorite family members!
Jackie, Luke, and Alice
Candy canes were a HUGE hit this year, and I LOVE this picture! :)
