Benson's First Christmas

Benson's first Christmas was both fun and exhausting. Christmas Eve was spent with my parents and my brother and his family. We had a yummy breakfast (note to self: don't let the kids eat all of the sausage) and then exchanged our presents. The kids all got stuffed snakes from Grandma. Oh to be a kid again on Christmas. Benson was not very interested in opening his presents but he enjoyed the chaos of it all. My mom and dad spent the night at Ann and Cody's and we went to Momma G's house for games and dinner with Dawson and Melanie. (Would you hurry up and marry the guy?)

Christmas morning we spent time at our house. Benson was a little grumpy and didn't want anything to do with his presents. We tried to get a little bit of video but he wasn't very cooperative. Kevin's favorite gift was the Bucky Balls I found for $3.50. Yes folks, I said $3.50. I am pretty sure Benson ate at least on piece of wrapping paper.

We then had a yummy ham dinner at Momma G's house. With 14 people it's is very chaotic. It took us at least 3 hours to open presents. (and at least 5 garbage bags) I think by this point Benson was getting a little overwhelmed and wouldn't even look at his presents. But he was very interested in everyone else's. Overall Christmas was a lot of fun and everyone was very generous. I love time spent with family and especially with our little Benson. Merry Christmas!
