Christmas Morning (or afternoon ;)

Sooo, this post is so belated due to the fact that I could not upload pictures to my blog for the longest time. All of a sudden tonight it started working! Yay! Let the blogging begin!
 
 
Livers with her presents.
We didn't get her until 1pm on Christmas. She was anxious all day :)
Going to list them so we can remember & laugh years later at what she thought was cool ;) jk:
 
Kindle Fire
 (Liv was soooo excited about this! She just asked for the basic kindle, bein the sweet girl that she is, but they had these on sale Cyber Monday & since she is the bestest girl, we sprung for the bigger one. She was so appreciative & thanked us a million times. Such a good girl :)
purple case for her kindle
purple rhinestone earbuds for her kindle
Justin Bieber calendar (gotta love the Biebs)
annual scrapbook made with love by jen <3
stocking stuffers: shave gel, hairspray, her beloved toothbrushes ;) (inside joke), scented zebra wall plug in, gum, headbands.
 
Tate actually did have fun ripping the paper off his gifts. To be honest, he really only got a few things from Mom & Dad. With all the hand-me-down toys from Katy Lythgoe Morgan & bein spoiled
                                     by Grammy & Poppy, he really didn't need much.
He LOVES this laugh & learn puppy. It was rated really high so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a hit! It's prob his fave :) we also got him a little xylophone (splurge from the dollar spot @ Target;))
and the CUTEST car keys with remote. I should've taken a pic because they are darling! They are the cutest colors: pumpkin orange, eggplant, turquoise, & burgundy. They have a car horn, a garage door opener, an automatic start, & a little flashlight. So cute :)
 
 
After opening presents we headed in our jammies to Grampa Bob & Gramma Sandi's. All the families & kids were there which is tons of fun! SO fun I forgot to take pics dangit! They gave each of the TWENTY-FOUR grandkids the sweetest hand-written notes & $20. I'm saving them for their scrapbooks:) Thank you SO much guys! We love you SO much & are blessed to have such wonderful grandparents & family like you!
Xoxo
Loves for Tater from Gramma
 
Our little fam :)
 
Grammy n Poppy with the Grandbabies
 
Poppy & the boys. They all got matching ties from Aunt Tessie, Uncle Zach, & Dakota.
SO cute! Thanks guys!
Instead of presents to eachother, we pick a needy family to give to, which was so much fun to shop for. Thanks Old Navy for having killer deals! We were able to make our money go SO far. I had to go shopping on a day I didn't have Livers, but her & Bella helped critique my work & wrap all the gifts. Thanks girlies! Sweet Liv also gave some of her own money to go towards it. She's the best girl!
The rest of the money we put on a money tree for Lindsay to buy school supplies & other supplies for the children of Ghana, Africa. She is going on a 15 day trip there with her mom. Janet (her mom) has been working with these kids & their community for a few years now. We are SO proud of & excited for Lindsay to go. How rewarding!
 
Christmas was extra wonderful this year with our new addition Mr. Tate. We are so blessed in so many ways. We have healthy, beautiful children,  Bobby & I both have loving parents & families, we have a warm home, we have great jobs, we are able to pay our bills, we are blessed with wonderful extended family & friends, & we are enjoying our little family so so much. Thank you everyone for being a blessing in our lives! We love you!
Most of all we are thankful for the birth of beautiful baby Jesus, the man he grew up to be, & for giving us the opportunity to come here & experience life.
Xoxo
