Dodson Christmas

I took these pictures this morning (12-21-08)!!!! I had the kids all decked out in their Christmas clothes for church and I had to get pics of them looking SUPER CUTE!!!!

We had Christmas with my dad's family last Saturday (12-13-08)!!! We, as always, had a GREAT time!!!! Avery was a little scared of "Santa" at first, but once he got a few presents he REALLY warmed up to him. Now he is talking about Santa non-stop!!! My dad's family always does too much for Christmas!!! The kids get so many presents, it's crazy!!!! Avery got a Lego set that had a train from the Thomas line. He has carried that "choo-choo" around ever since. He got so many other things it's hard to remember. He got a winnie-the-pooh golf set...it is SOOOO cute!!! Lily got a Bella Dancerella Cheerleader DVD thing. It is SOOO cool. She has been Cheering every night now. It is suprising how quickly she is catching on. She also got a Sleeping Beauty doll that has a skirt that twirls around, a little mermaid baby doll, and countless other things. Like I said, they got a lot of stuff. We are so blessed to have such a big family who loves us all!!! We really are a big happy family. It is not one of those family things that you go to, and are uncomfortable the whole time. We laugh, and joke around, and just have a fabulous time!!! It is so wonderful to be a part of such a loving family!!!!
My cousin, Stoney, was Santa this year. Both of his kids (Morgan, and Chat) are old enough, that they don't believe in Santa anymore!!! He did a GREAT job at it!!!
From left to right-Chat, Abby, Avery, Lily, Maddie, Morgan, and Cody (at the bottom).
Lily was SOOO excited to see Santa. She had to give him hugs, even though his hands were stuffed with presents!!!!
Avery was not super excited to sit on Santa's lap. Once he got his first few presents, he was only too happy to sit on his lap and get another one.
Lily was excited to point of being bashful (which she is NOT)!!! I couldn't have wiped the smile off of her face if I had tried!!!
We want to wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
Love you all!!!!
