Christmas Eve

A happy Christmas Eve was spent at Grammy and Papa's with Uncle Jake and the Mosley crew. We had a delicious Mexican food dinner with tamales and quesadillas!

To start off, here's a yummy shot of Eli. What's better, cupcake (Happy Birthday Jesus cupcakes) on the face mess or a double barrel of snot?!

Checking out the stocking loot. All three boys got a headlamp, just like Daddy! (they LOVE these!)

Luke, Ashley and Abby!

Sporting the new headlamp.
Present time!
Mosley kids and their presents!
Sweet Grammy!

More of the festivities (with Uncle Jake, Aunt Julie, Uncle Brian, Grammy and the back of Papa!)

Checking out Grant's new scooter!

Papa, introducing the joy of bubble wrap!



And the most treasured present of all, a handmade footstool fashioned (old fashioned, with no nails!) after a footstool that has been in the Wilson-Watkins-Wilson family for at least 80 years. The original, now with Papa and Grammy, is thought to have been made by Grammy's grandfather (Dr. J. Wilson) in about the 1920's. The stool then passed to Grammy's mom ('Dottie' Wilson Watkins) and then to Grammy and Papa. Wow! What a treasure and keepsake for our boys. And, Papa only lost one finger in the process :) (almost).
What a great way to start our Christmas celebrations!
