Three Tarheels and a Baby: 1st Christmas

We had a very merry and special Christmas this year! Lee and I were given the greatest gift this year, Henry. It was so very special to celebrate his first Christmas. We enjoyed the week in Charlotte visiting friends and family. We stayed at Lee's house the first three nights and my house the last three nights. We celebrated Pop Pop's birthday Thursday night at Myers Park. We were given our own room, which was great so that little ones could be as loud as they wanted to be. The food was unbelievable.

We celebrated Katie's birthday on Friday over lunch at City Club. I had the best sweet potato fries! That evening, Lee and I attended our 10 year reunion at Andrew Blair's. It was so fun to see our classmates!

Honey had a Christmas Eve brunch at our house. We enjoyed delicious money bread and sausage egg casserole. Mimi, Pop Pop, and Ashley joined us.

We visited with Lee's grandparents at Alison and Brian's before heading to my house for Christmas Eve dinner. Honey served Lexington BBQ, which is always delicious. We enjoyed dinner with Kay's family. Henry fell asleep at our house and then we transported him to Lee's house for the night. He was able to fall back to sleep very easily. Grandmommy and Granddaddy stayed with him while we attended the 11:00 church service with Lee's family. I love that service, it so beautiful!

We woke up Christmas morning and enjoyed opening presents from Santa and Lee's grandparents. Henry loved opening presents!!! He unwrapped the paper and then put it straight into his mouth. He was so cute!! Henry was spoiled rotten. I don't know where we are going to put all of his new toys. We enjoyed a yummy brunch before heading to my house for Christmas lunch. Henry was able to meet my aunts and uncles that he had not met before. He met Frank, Richard, Mary, Mike, Lewis, Sherry, Megan, Bill, and Madison. We stuffed ourselves with turkey and many delicious casseroles before opening more presents.

Monday morning, we headed back over to Alison and Brian's to celebrate the Brinkley Christmas. Henry was able to spend some quality tummy time with Baby Reese. It is so much fun to see the babies together. We took so many pictures of them!
