Christmas 2013 in St. Matthews

We went to St. Matthews to celebrate after Christmas.

group shot!  

We had a delicious lunch, then let the kids go wild with their presents!  Christmas just gets crazier with this group, too.  Seven kids and one more coming in May!

Beautiful tree! 

Best attempt of a shot with all of the kids.

Lee got a GoPro for Christmas and got the best video of Caroline on Cooper's tricycle.  Once I figure out how to post on here, I will add it.  It was the cutest video!

Christmas Day 2013

We woke up at a very reasonable 7:30 on Christmas morning to see what Santa brought the girls.  Obviously, Tolson had no idea what was going on.  Caroline did not understand Santa, but she was  excited to see the presents!  

Caroline loved the 4 wheeler from Santa!

Mom cooked a delicious brunch and everyone came to the house to celebrate.  

Only family picture of the day.

Allison with the girls!

Addie and Bennett- 2 of the 4 cuties at the kids table.  

Bennett is the only kid in our family that eats as much as Caroline!

Caroline clearly enjoyed her brunch!

We loved spending time in Aiken with family!  I was glad we were able to be there this year with everyone.

Christmas Eve 2013

We decided to give Caroline her "outside" gift a day early so she could play with it on Christmas Eve when we had some down time.  She loved her new Minnie Mouse 4 Wheeler.  She was even pretty good at driving it, we just need to work on the concept of turning!

We didn't make it to church on Christmas Eve this year.  Tolson is just too young to be exposed to large crowds, especially during cold and flu season.

Everyone else looking good and off to church.

We met up with everyone after church.

We have a lot of girls in the family- Addie (3), Lily (2.5), Caroline (18 months), Bennett (17 months) and Tolson (5 weeks).  Next Christmas, we will have one more girl and our first little boy.  Tricia is expecting her second daughter in March and Breigh a little boy in April. Each year it gets more crazy as we keep adding more kids, but that is what helps to make it so much fun!

We then went home and opened presents late Christmas Eve with the adults.  Caroline missed that memo, though, and would not go down without making a scene that threatened to wake up Addie and Bennett, so she joined us for presents, too.  She was nice enough to "help" the rest of us.

Sweet Tolson slept through most of it!
