(Baylor snuck into the fudge while we were opening gifts.)
Next we headed over to the May's.
First we did the annual Live Nativity.
Lori made this set and all the costumes.
I love this tradition!!!
Wesley had the honor of playing Baby Jesus.
He did so well, he was happy the whole time!
Baylor was a very busy busy Sheppard.
After the Nativity we watched the Christmas Videos. (I'm gonna try to post ours in another post if I can figure out how to do that.) The videos were all amazing this year, so fun to watch!!!... and of course we opened gifts. There were lots of good surprises!!!
We had so much fun with our families!!! I could
not have asked for a better day. Every year it gets better and better. After all that fun it was hard to believe that there was still MORE to look
forward too. We were so excited to get home so Santa could come!

I borrowed my parent's 'Night Before Christmas' book that my Dad used to read to us on Christmas Eve. It was fun to have Logan read the same book to our kids. Wesley got kicked out after a few minutes though... he was grabbing the book too much!
Christmas Morning!
Baby's First Christmas!
Wesley had a ball sucking on everything. It was hard keep
track of what he had in his mouth considering all the things we had on the floor.

Forget the toys. All he wanted was wrapping paper!
We have this little door under our stairs that goes to a
closet. Since moving in I have wanted to make it a 'playroom' We already had toys in there but the back half was filled with storage bins. We decided to
surprise the boys and turn it into a playroom by emptying it out and decorating it. You should have seen the look on Wesley's face when he saw it. JUST KIDDING.

We had fun though :)
Baylor has a Ghostbusters obsession. He started saying
'Busters' about 3 or 4 months ago. Eventually it turned into 'BoBusters' and now it is 'GoBusters.' He loves Logan's old Ghostbusters toys from when he was little. He has been carrying them around since he was one. He talks about Ghostbusters all day long. One night he fell asleep on the floor and I moved him into his bed at 2 am and he whispered 'Gobusters' as I moved him. We never pushed this on him, he just decided he loved it on his own. Santa brought him lots of Ghostbusters toys and he was in HEAVEN! Logan made him some T-shirts and he bought the cartoon on DVD on Ebay. In this picture Baylor is watching the DVD's... are we feeding into the obsession? No not at all!

Logan always does good, getting me lots of gifts that I love! One thing I got Logan was the Moose mugs that they drink Eggnog out of on Christmas Vacation. (We love
love that movie!) This was a fun gift that we both loved.
Christmas was so great this year. I miss it! I am just now starting to accept the fact that it's over. Is it bad that I'm excited for next year already?
Hope that yours was wonderful too!!!!!
Merry Christmas! :)

I love those mugs, where in the world did you find them?? The obsession with Ghostbusters is funny!! And I love your little playroom, so adorable! Have a wonderful new year!
Moose Mugs? Nice!! Playroom is awesome love love it. And Does Logan have some kind of gift for sewing??? I heard he made the costume for the vid and now shirts wowo that is awesome. Can he make my boys some of those shirts. Love them. If I am ever up there for Christmas I am requesting a drink from the mugs.
I need to get to work!! Your blog is so cute,I love little Wesley as baby Jesus. He stole the show!!
Love the cute little playroom. People have done that in our neighborhood too under their stairs. We would like to but unfortunately we need the storage space more. And the picture of the tree with the fireplace on looks picture perfect! : ) What a nice Christmas.
What fun Christmas traditions you have! All my life I wondered what the holidays would be like if spent with the Chapman family..I know it would be a blast! :)
That nativity backdrop & all the costumes look awesome. What a cute baby Jesus you have! PLEASE do post your video..we saw one from the past that was hysterical. I need more!
All the gifts looked so fun..especially the little secret playroom. That is every kids dream come true! How adorable. I'm glad you had a good Christmas. I do look forward to next year too.
p.s. That's too funny that Logan was the one who told you I am pregnant. Sorry it didn't come from me. We were keeping it from family & so it was so low key for a while that I didn't think to tell many more. I guess the news travels fast anyway.
