THE FLOYD MELTON FAMILY: Christmas Day Recollections

Christmas Day this year was so much fun. I mean I guess it helps that Floyd and Anne Craig are at such great ages. They are not babies and they are not too old for the magic that Christmas brings. You could feel the excitement as the day inched closer. A few questions were starting to emerge but cute, simple ones that are just plain fun to answer such as, "What will happen if Santa comes down while the fire is still burning?" or "Do you think Santa will really drink that entire glass of milk?"

Christmas morning didn't start too too early so that was nice. My kids leisurely get up knowing that they have to wait for the Grandparents to all come over and watch them find in amazement what Santa left. My my my what patience they must have. I feel certain that did not come from my side of the gene pool. I surely never had that kind of patience as a kid (and still don't)...probably knowing my grandparents lived an hour away and there was no way we were waiting on them to come to Belzoni to see what Santa brought. Besides we usually trekked up their way to Greenwood after Santa anyway. Fortunately for my kiddos their in town grandparents have a travel time of 3-5 minutes to get to our house.

Waiting patiently for the doors to open!!

Wow!! Santa really did come to town!!
The LOOT!!

Stacy taking in the loot too!

OH wait!! What is that I see on the front lawn??? A TRAMPOLINE!! woo hoo!!

After enjoying all the goodies Santa brought we went over to Moms' and Grandaddy's house to open presents followed by Christmas Dinner and total exhaustion.
Wow, look at all these presents we have to open!
