We decided to start a new tradition and stay at our own house for Christmas. It worked out really well. My family came a few weekends ago and James' family came for Christmas. Taylor really enjoyed being at her own house for "Santa" and so did we. We knew next year would be really hard with both kids trying to travel, see everyone, and have Santa in Columbus. We are so blessed to have family around us during the holidays. We went to mass early (4:00) on Christmas Eve. There were over 500 people at that mass and it was hard for Taylor to tolearte it. At the end of the mass, Father Tommy had Santa come in and bring Baby Jesus a present... well.. we have been talking about Santa so much at our house that Taylor couldn't figure out why Santa was taking the present to baby Jesus and not to her.... so needless to say, we left mass with her crying!! Luckily, our house is close by and we let her open a gift from us and a gift from Cici and Pop Pop. She was perfectly happy then:)

setting out the cookies for Santa... she then had to eat half because she wanted Santa to share with her :)
Look what Santa left.. including her new big girl chair... her old one will soon be for little James:)
We had a wonderful Chrsitmas. We traveled to Jackson on Christmas Day to have the whole Wamble crew together and Linda's parents. It was a lot of fun and good food!!! Taylor and Drew always enjoy spending time together. They both cried when we left to go back home!!
