Santa came and brought Alex some goodies. We weren’t sure how he’d react, but he headed straight for the toys.

Then we drove out to spend the day with Wade’s family at Granny and Papa’s.

After breakfast we gathered to open presents:

We made it back to Mom’s house in time for Alex’s nap. He woke up to his big present from Gram and some play time with Aunt Lissy:

Our last Christmas celebration is with the Upshaws (namesake of my blog). We had most everyone present – except for Ben, Stephanie, and their girls.
