Christmas at the Cabin, Saturday

We arrived at the cabin Friday evening and had it to ourselves for just a lil while. We relaxed the evening before our THIRD Christmas of the season. We needed to get our rest, this one would be our biggest of them all! 

 Our babies snuggling before the fun begins!

The aaaahhhmazing view

We received our one and only visit from Sadie Saturday morning. She must have remembered our crazy children because she didn't come back! Ha!

Gigi, Papa, Mo, and Dobbie arrived. It took about eight trips to retrieve all the loot. This is Christmas from Gigi & Papa, Mo, Dobbie, Aunt Robin and Doug, and the cousins!


Drew and the Dob-ster!

After opening all the goodies, we needed to replenish our energy with a yummy beef and noodles dinner! 

One of the biggest hits... Pretty, Pretty, Princess. Everyone loved it!

Day 1 was great....and we get to spend the rest of the week here!

*special thanks to Angela Wolfe and family for this wonderful respite*

Chrismas with Mamaw and Papaw (Aaron, Denny and Vince)

After our Christmas morning at home (another tradition that Drew and I decided to make...our kids will always wake up at home on Christmas morning), we got dressed and headed over to Mamaw and Papaw's house to have Christmas!

Of course we had to start with the present opening right away...we had two very anxious elves that wanted to start handing out and opening gifts! We couldn't keep them waiting too long!



Keaton had the prime spot...Mamaw's lap!

Denny did the honors and opened the first gift!

Mamaw's gift from the kiddies!

Mommy's (and daddy's) gift from Mamaw and Papaw...

Photo bomb!

A new computer! YAY! (Now I don't have to stay attached to an electrical outlet 24/7!)

The little elf, helping Papaw! Vince FaceTimed in on his computer...he's up on the counter!

Kerrington and Kellan got new Leappads from Mamaw and Papaw!

The crew...what a fun Christmas together.

Mamaw and Papaw and their grandies!

Kellan...the kisser :)

Santa Came!

Kerrington, Kellan, and Keaton have been good girls and boys this year! Santa came to visit and he brought just what they asked for!

Absolutely love the look of excitement in their eyes as they turned the corner.

Kellan was excited...just not quite awake.

Sissy was so happy! Exactly what she asked Santa for.

Keaton was taking it all in.

Ollie even got a present!

Sweet Kellan got his sissy her favorite candy.

Mommy's turn to open presents.

And daddy's turn

Sleeping bags...a Fire Truck for KB and Mermaids for K.

Keaton got the Tails book.

Guitars! Yay! (what were we thinking?!)

Happy Birthday JESUS! 

Time to try out our bikes...Kellan hasn't quite gotten the hold of it yet. 


It was a fun morning at the Humphreys house. Mommy made French Toast Casserole and we spent the morning hanging out and being together as a family. We got ourselves ready and headed over to Mamaw's and Papaw's house for Christmas later that day!

Christmas Traditions

I love the Christmas traditions we've made throughout the years. Its getting more and more fun as our kiddies get a bit older and are able to really get in to these things. Here are some of the traditions we've done this year:


Making Santa's cookies

Rolling the dough

Sugaring the cookies

Kellan thinks Santa REALLY likes sugar

That should keep him going through the night, right?

Christmas Eve service

Christmas pajamas...this year we got a book that explains the special Christmas Eve pajamas, that are sent by the Pajama Elves.

Writing a letter to Santa

Reindeer food!

Setting out Santa's cookies


We're ready!

The letters and pjs (made with special thread to help them sleep all night!)


We're ready! Bring it on Santa!
