In 2020, it was never a given that we'd be able to celebrate the Christmas holiday with our extended or immediate family members. We were SO thankful to be given the opportunity to hang out with the Morgan clan at my parents' home in East Texas. On Christmas Eve, we loaded the car with all of our Christmas goodies and set out on the drive. After a couple of hours, I noticed the kids were especially quiet. When I turned to look, I had to laugh. They had gotten super comfortable and snuggly in the backseat, ha!
We arrived at MeMe and Grandaddy's house to begin the fun family holiday together. Over the years, we've gotten to used to the fact that the Courtrights are always the first of the cousins to arrive for any of the family gatherings. Connor and Kaitlynn always feel so antsy and bored waiting for everyone else, and this year was no different. They settled for games and snuggles with the rest of us in the meantime, but they couldn't wait for their cousins to show up and begin the holiday fun.
Finally the rest of the gang showed up and the Christmas fun was on. Gifts, food, and lots of cousin fun was on the agenda. MeMe was the gift-giving winner this year: Connor was pumped about it Cheez-it t-shirt and Kaitlynn was enamored with her zebra blanket. The most suitable gifts for those 2!
I didn't manage to capture many photos of our Morgan family Christmas, but we were so thankful for the wonderful time with our cousins and extended family. If we had learned anything in 2020, it was that we would never take for granted again the time we all have together.
