I'll admit that it was SUPER weird to be an adult on Christmas morning. All of a sudden, I wasn't one of the kids on the stairs. I was the parent taking pictures. What the heck?? This wasn't even too early in the morning, but obviously too early for Lily. She didn't show her face while on the stairs. 
It was interesting watching my children open their gifts. Lily was one to open presents and be excited at the moment. Although, you can't really tell from these sleepy eyed pictures. She was very excited though. She got a Princess Castle from Santa and princesses to go along with it.
William, on the other hand, was one to open a present and went right to the next one. Not really a lot of excitement there. William got Knapford Station that is from Thomas from Santa. He got plenty of trains to go along with it.They both got a lot of other things as well.
Lily was excited to get these Princess nails from Tessa.
This was the first year that we did an Ugly Christmas Sweater contest. It was HILARIOUS! We had so much fun finding all of these treasures. I originally bought the turtleneck that Matthew's wearing to go under my awesome snowman vest, but I pretty much guilted him into wearing it. It was a close call between Matthew, John, and Jamie. In these pictures, Jamie's sweater looks normal, but if you could only see the other side, you would find one short sleeve shirt. It was great. After all the voting, Matthew won the contest. We got an awesome UT pitcher, which we use faithfully. (Thanks Krystin!)
Christmas Day was just full of family and great food. I'm so glad that we were able to make it out there this year. It has been so long since I have had a Tennessee Christmas. I loved being there.
