Christmas morning began with me scrambling to make one of my best friend's Abbey Davis' Caramel Rolls recipes. Marie put them in the oven while I hopped into the shower, and unfortunately, the rolls grew so big overnight, that they started to ooze out of the pans and drip sauce all over Marie's very clean oven. I felt horrible, but the rolls were delicious!
Trey was so excited to see all of the gifts. He has been opening gifts all month long, but has seemed to not get tired of it. We thought it would be too much of a hassle transporting all of his gifts back and forth between airports, cars and states, so as rewards for Potty Training, he has been receiving Potty Presents which were ACTUALLY some of his Christmas Gifts. Are we mean or what?!
He did receive Spirit, the movie that EVERYONE at Miss Michelle's LOVES from Santa as well as some horse figurines which he is STILL carrying around. He also got a box of his favorite cereal which is Lucky Charms. (A Sauter Tradition. When we were younger, Grandpa Bend thought he would teach us at a VERY young age to eat healthy, so, the only cereal we had in our home was Shredded Wheat. NASTY! On Christmas, Santa would bring us sugary cereal, which I am sure we gobbled up in one morning. Mine was usually the BARBIE brand of Lucky Charms!! I had to keep this tradition alive. But, the difference between the Bledsoe and Sauter tradition is that we usually always have sugary cereal in our pantry! AND, the Sauter pantry hasn't housed a box of Shredded Wheat in about 20 years!)
Fosha crocheted us all hats, and they are so warm and beautiful. Trey and his hats, Fosha couldn't have given him a more perfect gift!
We all gathered pictures from over the years course and made a photo book for Justin's parents. It was nice seeing their faces as they looked at all of the pictures of their children and grandchildren. Later on in the day, I saw Larry sitting in a quiet place (which was a very hard place to find!) thumbing through the book!
