Our Christmas Day

 Our Christmas Day was wonderful as well! :)  We enjoyed a morning together and then packed up and went to mom and dad's for the afternoon/evening. :)  Santa made a visit to our house and left Allie and Gracie some little presents! :)



SOOO excited! :) 





Gracie was so excited too! :) She LOVED opening her presents. :)  Some of them we "rewrapped" from  her toy box- and she totally knew the difference between her new things and her "used" things. :) Hilarious! :) 










 Off  to Nana and Papa's house! :)
 Trying out one of her toys from Santa!





We had a blessed Christmas for sure! :) There is one last tradition post- Jesus' birthday celebration. :)

Our Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve was wonderful.  We got dressed up for the noon service at Church. We met up with Gramps and Grammie and enjoyed a wonderful celebration of Light and Jesus's birth! :) I love the Christmas eve service because the family is usually all together for this service. I love having the kids with us and watching them experience the music and the lights and the little things their little ears pick up on. Allie remembers the service and loves going into the "big room" with us! :) We pack a bag full of books and snacks and she enjoys it too! :)   

After our Christmas Eve service, we came home and changed and then went to Gramps and Grammie's house for the evening. After naps, all Allie's cousins came too. We enjoyed our family get together. It was lots of craziness and fun! :)  The kids enjoyed opening their gifts and playing together. :) They all play so well! 

 Our silly one! :)  Gracie isn't sure what to think and didn't care to participate in this one... :)
 Our pretty little girl... :)
 And her silly little expressions as we tried so hard to get a good picture- close up! :) We should know better.... :) These make me laugh! :)





 There we go!: ) Pretty girl! :)
 Best Buds! :)

 Family Picture Time! :) Not too bad! :)

















Game time! :)
