Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful and eventful Christmas this year. We woke up Christmas eve to give the kids thier presents and spend a little time together as a family before Matthew had to head out to get ready for services. Matthews parents joined us for breakfast and the kids had such fun opening gifts. Matthew headed out to church and me and the kids just hung out at home and relaxed before heading to the 4 service. In between services we were eating dinner with matthew and the others who stayed for both services and Jr and another little boy were wrestling and Jr was thrown to the ground and ended up passing out. Matthew was holding him and as soon as i turned around to go help, Jr's body went limp and he was out. SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!! He came to pretty quickly but it seemed like an eternity to us. He was fine and eventually calmed down. All that was left was a knot on the back of his head. We then headed to my parents house where we spent the rest of the weekend thru monday evening. It was an awsome Christmas spent with my fun family. We had bonfires, smores, pizza making, pool playing, dart throwing, present opening, dogs barking, kids running and screaming...it was sooo much fun!!! Monday we all headed down to atlanta to ice skate then came back to my parents and had a wonderful steak meal made by my brother,dad and mom!enjoy some pictures from the weekend...oh yeah, and monday afternoon jr fell down the stairs head first and got a knot on the front of his head, poor kid had a rough weekend with his head!
