We woke up on Christmas morning - and it was so much fun with the kids! We had to hold them at bay at the top of the stairs until everybody else could get assembled in the Living Room (understandable since there were 12 of us who had to wake up and get around in the morning - including our little 5 month old nephew). Everyone had a wonderful time seeing what Santa brought, opening gifts, laughing, and going through the HUGE stockings that we all have at Steve's parents home. *Some say the stockings just may be the most fun of all!
One very special thing this year is that Ashley got to be with us in Tennessee on CHRISTMAS MORNING - something that she had never been able to do in the past (as she always had to fly to meet us after Christmas on the years we went to Tennessee because of visitation issues). That young lady LOVED EVERY MINUTE of being with her family - especially getting to see her little brothers enjoy the magic of Christmas morning! The Lord has truly blessed us this year!
Here are some highlights of the morning:
Ryan "searching" for a gift in a bag he had already opened!
Steve, Robin, Ashley, Jack and Ryan in the midst of all the Christmas CHEER!
Ryan, Jack and Ashley right after they woke up - waiting with baited breath to come downstairs for Christmas morning!
Steve sitting in the midst of the packages, bows, boxes and bags - leftover from the gift opening!
The world famous "Blankenship Christmas Stockings" - - - and some goodies for a good little GIRL and BOYS from Santa!!!
