...Christmas Day

Ahhhh, Christmas Day.  

Confession:  I feel that opening all the gifts on Christmas Eve makes Christmas Day somewhat anticlimactic.  Is that bad?  

What was exciting was that SANTA arrived on Christmas Day and he brought an ALL TERRAIN RADIO FLYER WAGON.  

That's right, you have to say it with a biiiiiggggg excited deeep voice.  

The ALL TERRAIN RADIO FLYER WAGON. 

I love it!

Luckily, I am not the only one that loves it. 

Then we were off to the old tree to play...

After our outdoor fun, it was off to the family feast.  There were 24 people at the Bagley house for lunch!

MawMaw and Sue loving on the babies (Travis and Emma)

Two types of turkey - smoked (OH MY!) and baked... 2 hams, corn casserole, gravy, green bean casserole, jello, shredded carrots, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, sweet potato casserole, rolls, olives, pickles... what did I forget, asparagus.  What else? geez, so much food. Oh, and we haven't even talked about dessert.  SO MUCH FOOD. 

Priceless. She's so cute.

Kristi's family came to lunch...

 The kids got their marching orders to eat first...

Ohhhh, our bellies were soooo full... 

Love you all, each and every one.

Our First Park Visit

My computer is trying to eat these pictures, so I am posting them as fast as I can in order not to lose them.  

No fancy story, just a great first time at the park early last week with my boys.  

 (this is my favorite photo of them all...) 

love, cyndy

Christmas Eve

We have been in San Antonio the past 4 days enjoying the festivities of the season and boy has it been nice.  Back to work tomorrow but I wanted to share these photos from this special time of year. 

It's a Bagley tradition to open all the Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve (as long as they're not from Santa) and with this being Travis' first Christmas, it was an especially special evening for Jason and me to watch him enjoy. 

Travis had a little man sized rocking chair he played on before we got started opening the gifts.

The tree was something beautiful to see... twinkle lights galore and ornaments for days. 

We tried to get a picture of the cousins all together, but this was the best I could muster up... wiggles, sillyness and little kids equals a particularly tricky photo-op.

We really enjoyed all being together to share in the beauty of the season. 

Family Family everywhere...

more and more giggles...

and of course, we had to inspect the gifts before they were opened... can you hear this one?

Is it a surf board?

You're telling me I'm supposed to sit on this?

What if I just sit here?

Miss Emma took a nap in MawMaw's arms...

T and Kristi snuggled...

and Mama made some beautiful gifts for the family. 

It was a wonderful evening, and I feel so blessed to be able to share it with people I love. 

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
