Apparently Christmas gave Carter super energy because he was on fire when we got to Mimi's house. We quickly opened the stockings Santa left there for us. And then the family arrived. Carter and Parker were spoiled once again with more gifts.
Thank you everyone!
Carter decided that we needed some Christmas music so he broke out Reid's banjo and played a mini concert. Later in the night he put on a mini show singing all his Christmas tunes for everyone (side note: Carter insists everyone bow after his performances... everyone!).
Then in keeping with strange Jones family holiday traditions, we all put on mustaches and Santa hats for some fun pictures.
After some food, we settled in to play dirty Santa.
Parker was disappointed when he found out all the gifts weren't for him to open.
But fortunately he found out that Uncle Micheal loves head butt hugs as much as he does. So that kept him occupied for a
long time.
Carter meanwhile was helping dad decide what gift he wanted...
Ultimately the toilet mug spoke to the true plumber in dad and won out.
While most of the family was wearing down after the long day. Our kids still had energy....

It was a wonderful Christmas season. Having kids definitely makes the holidays brighter and more joyful around our house. We hope everyone had a magical holiday! Merry Christmas from the Holden's!
