The festivities started on Christmas Eve. We gave Eli several of his gifts so that he would have time to play with them since we were traveling on Christmas.
Then Christmas Morning came with his "big" gifts.... These photos don't really capture how much he loved his car and work bench. There truly was a sense of wonder in his face.
Then by mid-morning we were braving the wind and rain (and freezing rain) to have dinner with our cousins. Here's Eli with Mallie and Cooper.
Then back to Grandma and Grandpa's for, you guessed it, more presents!
We hope that Eli will roll around on this bean bag instead of us!
The whirlwind tour through northwestern North Carolina ended on Sunday with a fabulous dinner at Aunt Melissa and Uncle Randy's house.
The whole clan was present....Vicki and Eli enjoyed some books.
Eli enjoyed hugs from Papaw and ....
....from Nana
And Eli enjoyed spending time with all his first cousins: Jordon, Jared, and Jada
