Christmas

We have had a very busy couple of days. Earlier in the week, Carlisle and I went to Aiken to see some friends. Carlisle had a blast seeing his friends Carson, Morenci, and Oliver. Here are Carlisle and Oliver playing:

At my parents' house, Carlisle loved to watch my parents dogs through the glass door. Here is Carlisle waiting on the dogs.

After our short visit in Aiken, we came back to Columbia. On Christmas eve, we went to church with Nana, Papa Don, Aunt Tiffany, Uncle Dan, and DJ. Both DJ and Carlisle did great in the church service. On Christmas morning, we woke up early, and it was clear Santa had visited bringing Carlisle lots of gifts, including a kitchen set and wagon.

Carlisle enjoyed playing with the oatmeal container more than the kitchen at first!

Carlisle then took a spin in his wagon:

After checking out our stockings and some presents from Santa, we were off to Sumter to see Yanni, Granddad and Uncle Josh. Santa had visited Carlisle in Sumter too.
Carlisle enjoyed looking under the tree at all of the presents:

Carlisle was not big into actually opening his presents. Luckily, Uncle Josh helped him out:

One of his favorite presents was his very own Clemson hat, in just his size!

After all of the excitement, Carlisle needed a quick break:

After a wonderful time in Sumter, we headed back to Columbia to celebrate Christmas with Nana, Papa Don, Aunt Tiffany, Uncle Dan, Tony and DJ. DJ and Carlisle preferred sitting in the wagon, while we opened all the presents:

We then had a wonderful dinner and it was time for Carlisle to go to bed after the big day. With all the excitement, I didn't get many pictures of our afternoon.

This morning Carlisle was very excited to play with his new toys, and especially enjoyed his new Marbleworks Castle thing:

We had a wonderful Christmas and are so thankful for our families and friends. Thank you to all for making this Christmas so special.
