Christmas


All 5 of Us Christmas Eve


The Carraway's had a fun, busy Christmas!! We went to Memphis, Dyersburg, Memphis, Brownsville, and then back to Dyersburg. The boys were such troopers and enjoyed our "big trip!" Mommy and Dadday survived, too. Thanks goodness for DVD players in cars!!! The boys were able to see their MiMi, Uncle Goob (aka Christian), Aunt Becca, Nonny, GanGan, Uncle Brad, Aunt Julie, cousins Hannah and Chloe and a bunch of other extended family, too! However, when Patrick told his teachers about his "big trip" over the holidays, it was Uncle Goob and Aunt Becca he talked about. Patrick has always been quite fond of Becca, so we tell Christian to watch out! :)

Patrick became very interested in opening presents this year, and everywhere we went he said, "I want to open presents, Momma!" However, Santa was not a big hit. But, I'd probably be afraid of a big, hairy man dressed in a crazy red suit if I were two, as well! Marshall is amazed by it all and just followed Patrick's cue. Graham was a sweet littly baby for his first Christmas, despite the fact he was waking up every hour to hour and a half at night our entire trip. Needless to say, Mommy was extremely tired by the time we headed back to Cincy! We rolled back into town just in time to ring in the New Year with some neighbors.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we are so blessed to be able to celebrate with our family and friends! We were even able to catch up with Ashley and Jason and the Renzi clan!!
