Life at the Lyman's: Santa is coming to town....

Christmas Eve we went to church during the sleeting storm. Once we came out of church it was blizzard snow outside. We piled in and slowly drove to Mimi and Pepa's house to join the rest of the Blanton family. We all ate and the let the kids open their presents and stockings. It was getting late quickly so they were losing patients. We loaded up presents and said our good bye's and headed home so little ones could go to sleep so Santa would come.
Christmas morning came. The Lymans came over first thing so they would be at the house before Payton woke up. She walked down the stairs and was so excited when she saw there were presents under the tree. Of couse Santa left her a gift next to the tree too. We had breakfast together and then distributed presents. We enjoyed the cold day inside where it was warm and was great that we didn't have to leave the house. During nap time the boys cleaned off the driveway and did the neighbors across the street, then ventured to Mitch's parents and did their driveway too. Once Payton got up from her nap we went out to play in the snow and take her sledding. She loved it but it took us longer to get all dressed warm than we spent outside. We enjoyed a great Christmas day. That evening we took Payton over to spend the night with my parents. Nana had a 3 granddaughters spend the night together. We spent the night at Austins visiting with our friends.
The next morning was Christmas with Mom and Dad. We loaded up the car with presents and went over to have breakfast. Once we ate then the kids were ready for another round of gifts. They had a great time opening up their presents. Roxanne tore through hers like a tornado and even opened a couple of the the other 2 girls I think. After visiting and eating dinner we headed back home. My couple best girl friends were stopping by for a quick Merry Christmas while we were all in town together. We had about 45 minutes together and then it was time for me to go to work for the night.
