Christmas Day 2014

At 4 am Christmas Eve, Addie Grey woke me up blazing hot with a fever. I don't really know what was going on because she only ran it for about 12 hours and then it went away. But, she was definitely not her normal self all day Christmas day. BUT she was extra snuggly, so that was good.

The kids came walking out around 7 on Christmas morning. Tripp and Makinley were determined to keep their eyes closed until they were right on top of their gifts.
 But I think they peaked!



 Makinley was super excited to get her giant stuffed panda!





 You can look at Addie Grey's cheeks and see that they are flushed and pink. It took her a few minutes to climb out of my lap and start exploring.

 After the kids had some time to play with their things, and we let Addie Grey take a cat nap when her fever spiked again, we headed to GiGi and Poppa's house to continue the fun.




 I love this picture Joey grabbed of me and Bear. I love this boy so much!
 Makinley was in RARE form on Christmas day. We had to have a serious "come to Jesus" both at my parents' house and on the ride home from my parents'. Hopefully it clicked and we will have a more grateful girl the next time she is given gifts.


 The best part of the day was Trey and Jenn's surprise for my mom and dad. A few weeks before something (or SOMEONE) told me that my brother and Jenn may have an announcement to make on Christmas Day. And I was right!
 Such an awful picture of me! But I think it shows the excitement on Trey's face as they waited on my mom to open the present.
 YEP! A new Sheneman is on the way! Their due date is late July. We are all anticipating and anxiously awaiting to see if we will have a new girl or boy join our family!!
 We tried to get some family pictures. As always, it was loads of fu with 4 kids. This about sums it up!

 The growing family! This time in 2015, there will be FOUR Shenemans in this picture!! :-)
Such a wonderful Christmas. Even amidst the sickness, it was  joyful time remembering all that God has blessed us with. All because of a baby born in a manger.
