Santa Arrived!!

We drove home to Copperas Cove from Ennis on Christmas Day. The boys were very excited to walk in and see that Santa had come while we were gone. That morning we had given Quincy a small can with a lump of coal inside that said from Santa so he was worried if there would be anything under the tree from him. Above it is obvious he visited as they show off their stocking loot.

Pure excitement!

The Christmas Card Picture

Trying to get three little boys to all cooperate and smile at the same time can be quite a challenge. Here are a few of the pics that did not make it.
