We celebrated Christmas with my side of the family tonight. It was completely chaotic (as you will see in the pics), and SOOOOO FUN!!! As always, we were all completely spoiled. Thank you, Mom and Dad for everything…the food, the gifts, the conversation and laughing. But most of all, thank you for being you! We love you both so much and are so thankful to have you!<\/p>\n

Tal received a trampoline. They all LOVED it!<\/p>\n

Mak received a Smart Cycle. I’m so excited for him to try it out in the morning!<\/p>\n

A special tee-shirt for Tal! Just ask Reeves and Rebecca about it sometime…<\/p>\n

She ADORES this doll! Adore is not even a strong enough word. There’s no way that Santa will be able to top this one. She carried it around all night, and when she didn’t have it in sight (while we ate), she constantly asked about it. The baby has a ton of hair, so Clara Beth calls her “Hey-ah” (for hair…she’s sooo Southern!). She came with a comb and brush set and the sweetest little bows, as well as a pappy. My little girl is IN LOVE!<\/p>\n

I ended up having to open the rest of her presents for her. She had no interest. All she wanted was “Hey-ah”!<\/p>\n

Now these were just a little annoying. Thanks, Li-Li.<\/p>\n

Li-Li’s Little Gamecocks made her a cutlery caddy at Wink for tail-gating. It has their little hand prints on it and is so cute! Great idea, Rebecca!<\/p>\n

Then came the surprise of the night for Li-Li. Dad gave her an Annual Pass to Disney World and a FUN trip in March!!! She was SHOCKED, which is difficult to pull off. She told me tonight that she’s never been so surprised by a gift, and she said that it’s her best Christmas present ever, EXCEPT the year Reeves and Rebecca wrapped up the positive pregnancy test announcing Tal. GREAT JOB, Dad!<\/p>\n
