Christmas in Photos

We were blessed with another wonderful Christmas celebration this year.  So thankful to get to spend the holidays with my family!!  Here's our picture story . . .

Charlotte was so cute and ready to celebrate in her santa outfit.  Even with a cold she was great.  She scored big including a pair of adorble sushi footies.  I'll get a picture of these cuties soon.



We grabbed a cheap stocking for Charlotte's first christmas.  She'll have to pick her own out in the years to come.


As you can see Charlotte has a tough go . . . just kidding.  She did some nice napping in her bouncy chair and swing.

Awwww . . . the traditional lottery tree.  Sadly, Scott's reign of terror will continue this year as the winner two years in a row.

 Putting together a christmas puzzle.


Enjoying some delicious pumpkin chocolate chip pie.


The crew watching (or eating) the football game.


You can see that life was pretty good - Christmas Eve football.


Meanwhile, Charlotte was snoozing away . . .



 Grandpa got a text message from the Elves that they had a special delivery for us on Christmas Eve.  Its the stockings!!!  They were waiting for us on the front porch.


This year we went to the Washington Center to see my dear friend Trisha's Christmas Eve show. Addy in her Christmas best before the show.




We came back to my parent's after the show to lay out cookies and milk for Santa.


We weren't disappointed.  He added a little magic to the holiday!

Opening gifts . . .

Addy and Grandma got an adorable real china tea set from Grandpa for their tea parties.


Grandma and her little Charlotte.


This is a shot of the action - mass chaos as we dig into 6 different sets of gifts.


This year more then ever I feel so much joy in my heart for the blessings we have and the joy of family and friends.  Its been on my mind and I hope to translate that into an inspired new years resolution.  More to come.

I hope all of you had a magical holiday full of joy and love.  You are always in our thoughts and we wish you a joyful new year!!
