On Saturday Cory's parents came up and we went to the Christmas lights at Warm Beach that has become a family tradition. We all love going there and they have a lot of fun stuff for the kids to see and do.
The weather really cooperated for us that night and didn't rain but was stinking cold! I will take that anytime. We were there for almost two hours and were able to do everything we wanted except for get the face painting that we passed and didn't go back by and the warm doughnuts. That was OK.

The kids were really excited for Sunday because it was Christmas number 2! Grandma and Grandpa Simmons came over early that morning and we spent some time opening up presents. The kids loved all their gifts. They are funny how they go about it. Alyssa wants to open every single one of them while Knox wants to open one play with it and come back for the others later. While they loved all their gifts they received that day I would say the highlight for Knox was his monster school bus and the ballet shoes for Alyssa. She also received a ballet necklace that I don't think has come off since. This girl has a passion for dance!
After the gifts were all done we put out some great food and waited for the arrival of family and friends. The one thing I love about the holidays is not the gifts but getting together with loved ones. This day was in my opinion perfect! We had family and good friends over who shared in the day to make it special. Besides our family, Grandma Gail's good childhood friend Patty and her husband were here as well as our neighbor Mary. The kids were showered with love and I couldn't have asked for more!
Aunt Judy and Uncle Tony stayed until around nine and it was great catching up with them and the kids loved hanging out with them as well.
