After all the festivities in Nashville were over, Wesley, Jackson, and I traveled to Chattanooga on Sunday morning for the Bender Family Christmas. The rest of the Bender crew had been celebrating together since Christmas Eve, but had waited to open presents until we got there Sunday morning. I still don't see how the kids had that much patience!!
When we arrived, we enjoyed a delicious Christmas Brunch Shannon had made for us all. After the brunch, we headed downstairs to open packages. The kids were so ready! Jackson loved opening his new treasures. He got an alphabet train, a school bus, a car, a Thomas the Train Floor Mat, and an alligator from his cousin Cole.
Can you tell Jackson wants to get down and start opening his presents?
Wesley and I also really enjoyed the generous gifts we received from everyone. It was a great Christmas.
Here we are in our Land's End vests from Jack and Lynne that came complete with something fun in the pocket!
The celebration didn't end after the presents were opened. Sunday was also Lynne's 60th Birthday!! We were all there to celebrate with her. We were honored to give Lynne a book for her birthday filled with 60+ letters from family and friends. She was so surprised!
I loved reading through all the notes she received. I know what an amazing lady my mother-in-law is, and it was fun to read notes from all the people who love her as much as I do.
Happy Birthday, Lynne!
