Christmas Eve with my family...

We had Christmas at the Thompson's house this year! We take turns each year having it at each of our homes. We always eat, then gather the kids up to read the real Christmas story from the Bible. Then, all of the kids exchange presents and it's like a mad house, but so much fun!






Happy birthday, Nana!



Holiday activities

We always go to Reidsville before Christmas and spend a few days. We go to see the lights (and this year, Santa) in Yanceyville. We also open stockings at Grandmommy & DD's house. At dinner, DD always has a special surprise for each of us at our seats: $50!






Girls' Night Out

Our annual high school friends pre-Christmas dinner...



More of Hermie...

When we got home from Reidsville, Hermie was on the tree and had unrolled the toilet paper all the way from the boys bathroom to the tree!

Here he is in Cooper's stocking with some nativity silly bandz and a note

We caught Hermie sitting on one of my candles, holding a tootsie roll wrapper! Hmmm...I wonder what he'd been doing while we were sleeping?!?


Today, we found him in Carter's stocking holding a nice little surprise...magical reindeer food!
