Christmas Celebration # 3,4,5,6

Christmas lasted for weeks around our house. We wrapped up our final Christmas celebrations this past weekend in south Alabama. We made the trip down to Elba on Friday afternoon to get ready for a Saturday jam-packed with Christmas festivities. It's always hectic (but a blast!) when the family gets together in Elba. Nana's house bursts at the seams with 13 adults, 8 kids running around, plus a big ole Pit Bull. We have to get pretty creative with the sleeping arrangements!


Saturday morning Lilah got to stroll around Nana's house with her cousins Beth Ann and Drew while everyone got ready to head to Papa Jim and Mama Jackie's house (Christmas Celebration #3) for breakfast and Christmas presents!

After filling our bellies full of breakfast casserole, scrambled eggs, grits, biscuits, monkey bread, bacon and fruit it was time to open presents

After our trip to Enterprise we headed on to Opp, AL for Christmas #4 with Granny and Paw Paw DuBose. Sadly, I left my camera in the car for this celebration so I have no pictures from our visit. We had fun nonetheless!

After Granny and Paw Paw's we turned back around to Elba for Christmas #5 with Granny Farris.

And, then it was onto our last and final celebration (#6) at Nana's for more presents! This is where it gets very chaotic! :) Wrapping paper, toys, and boxes everywhere! So much fun though!

Whew! I'm exhausted all over again thinking about all of our partying. I think it is safe to say that Lilah had a great (and busy!) first Christmas!! As long as Christmas was spread out this year, I have to admit that it was very satisfying putting up my Christmas decorations this year! I'm ready for a break from all of the hustle and bustle.

Side note: With all of the Christmas craziness, I've been a little off track and am behind on posting Lilah's weekly photos. I've got two weeks worth of photos and her 6 month post in the works. So, stay tuned!
