These are the days

Christmas break... any break... is my favorite!

Morning cuddles in bed.

Slow days cuddling and being together.

Joy to the World

Merry Christmas Morning!  A magical morning indeed.  Except it started at 5:50am.  But after we hung out in our bed until almost 7, we ran out to all the magic of Christmas.   Thanks to Santa, Mollie lounged in her new comfy on her new sloth squishmellow while she watched Kendall unwrap approximately 40 LOL dolls to add to her collection.  Then we opened gifts from Mom and Dad, and the highlights were a trip to PARIS and tickets to the MAVERICKS vs. LAKERS game!!  Focusing on experiences this year... and we can't wait to experience these special things with you girls!  After some porch time putting together new lego sets, we capped off the day with our family Christmas dinner at the Butler's with the treats the cousins had made with Nana, more presents and some serious laser tag.  So many blessings!!!

 

 

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is one of my favorite days of the year.  

All the fun holiday events behind us.  

The magic of Christmas morning still ahead.  

Some of my favorite traditions we've created as a family all packed into one day....  

Lobster dinner, Christmas Carols around the piano, reading "T'was The Night Before Christmas".

All starting with a candlelight Christmas service.

This year we added Finn into the mix, and the grandkids did more reading than the Grandparents for "T'was the Night Before Christmas".  Was one for the books that we'll never forget!

And to all a goodnight!!!!!!

The Carriage Ride

 And the Santa house!
