Have yourself a merry little "Seaside" Christmas!

We spent a week in Seaside/Watercolor for Christmas and it was just the best. We were with my parents, sister and her hubby and two kids. We can't wait to do Christmas there again. It was just magical.

WARNING: This is a very LONG post.



I will never get over the wonder of a child at Christmas. Sweet McCall seeing what is in the middle of the tree.

When we weren't outside (which was not much), the kids loved playing with all of the pots and pans.








Then, McCall decided she was going to try and sneek a kiss from Wells.








Then, McCall decided she was going to "halo" wells and call him an "angel"




The evidence of a good time.








Christmas Eve




Two little munchkins who were anxious for Santa to come.

Naughty or nice?


Opening their matching Christmas jammies.





One of the few family photos we have.

Just love this little smirk on his face.

Wild man!




Wellsy-man loves his Dolly.





Treats for Santa!


Distracted and sleepy elves!


Christmas Day


Wells must have been a good boy! Look what Santa brought.


Santa left his boots filled with goodies.

And the stockings were hung on the staircase with care...


And proof that Santa really was there...


The anxious little boy awaiting what Santa brought him.





Happy babies.

Waiting in anticipation.

He was in Heaven!



And oh how he loves his daddy!


Discovering what Santa put in his stocking.



Sweet Dolly and Dutch.


Wells loves his Uncle Jake


Wells loved opening presents. It was the first year he really "got it."











Seaside Fun!

Wells loved running around in Seaside Town Center.


And, he was unsure what he thought about the sand.

Love my boys!



Love this boy so much I could just eat him!







Ummm...don't like to have my hands dirty.





One of my favorite mommy moments to date.



And this little precious one loved playing with Wellsy too!





And the fund did not end in the evening...


In the mornings, we would go take nature walks.





As you can tell, they were a favorite.





Such a happy boy!


One morning, we went to get doughnuts! Wells' first experience with doughnuts. We was a fan!


In the evenings, we would go to Watercolor Park.



This is my all time favorite picture of this little boy!


And, oh how Wells loves his new cousin "Jack Jack."



Dolly and Jack


Gosh, these two melt my heart.

As does this precious face.

This face does not want to leave the park.

Exhausted after playing hard at the park.





Giving the beach another try.






Chillin' on the deck during happy hour.




We had a fabulous time at our beach house for Christmas. Next up, catching up over the past two months...
