Merry Christmas!!

We started our Christmas celebration with a visit to Peachtree Presbyterian's children's service with our neighbors (and Shepard's good friends) Tyler and Meredith...

They had a live nativity in front of the church:








































































Then we went inside for the service. At first everyone was on their best behavior:

















Then this happened! Sanctity by osmosis :)

















After church it was time for Santa!

Santa's cookies:








And Rudolph's carrots (ever think the other reindeer feel left out?):








Santa was very appreciative:








But I'm guessing Blitzen flew into a jealous rage:








Shepard's loot:


























And Riley's loot:








Shepard loved the note:

















And his haul!

















Riley just loved all of the commotion:








Then it was time for family presents!








The octopod!








And...








A Ben 10 watch!
















Shepard was also kind enough to open Riley's presents!










So exciting!


















Riley the party animal hopes everyone else had as great of a Christmas as we did!
