Christmas in Madisonville

After we finished our Christmas at home, we took a road trip to Madisonville. Both of Brian's extended families live there. Our first stop was Brian's Dad's family. We had a finger food lunch and then opened gifts. They have it in a church hall and I love it because there is a lot of of space for the kids to run around and there are toys for them to play with. Macie had a blast running all over the place. Of course, Macie got more presents. She got an adorable clown toy, but the funny thing is Brian was scared of clowns as a kid and they still freak him out. He agreed the toy was cute, but told me that it wasn't allowed to stay in Macie's room when she was sleeping. I told him he never knows where that thing might show up!
When we left the church, we went to the nursing home to see Brian's papaw. Macie and I didn't go in because she really needed a nap and I didn't want all of the germs. Then we went to Nanny's house for a bit before heading to his aunt and uncle's house. That was our final destination of the day. We had a more traditional dinner of ham, turkey, and all the fixins. Nanny made Macie a doll and us an afghan. I love gifts like that because they will be treasured forever! I was in bed by 8 last night. I was flat exhausted. Two more Christmases to go......

Aunt Beth helped Macie open up her gifts. She is showing her a Buster doll.
This was soo funny! Macie pulled the outfit out of the bag (which was an adorable Adidas sweatsuit), threw it over her head, and looked in the bag to see if there was anything else. We all started cracking up. Then she took off with the bag. I guess that is all we needed to buy her!
