It's the MOST wonderful time of the year!

This year Christmas was pretty crazy for us. Christmas Eve we drove to Checotah and back through a blizzard to celebrate with my grandparents. It was WAYYY worse than we thought it was going to be and we were relieved when we got home. That night my brother stayed with us as is our Christmas Eve tradition. We haven't been apart on Christmas Eve since he was born in 1990. Ha! I know we are a little weird, but that's okay. I guess when he gets married we will just have to set up camp at someone's house. haha!

We gathered on the couch to read "Twas the Night Before Christmas."

Ezra got some cookies out for Santa, although he wasn't really sure why. We tried to explain, but I'm not sure what he was thinking.

...So Poppy got her picture taken with the cookies, because he wasn't that interested.

Here is our Christmas tree before bedtime.

...and here is our tree Christmas morning!!!

We are SO blessed!

My parents came over and we enjoyed opening presents for 3 HOURS!!!

Then Ezra and Zach made us breakfast in Ezra's new kitchen :)

 

It was SO YUMMY!!!

We spent the day at home and then had a Christmas dinner at my parent's. It REALLY was SO YUMMY! By the end of the day we were all WORN OUT!

Caleb and Poppy caught a few Zzzz's on the couch and we all went to bed early!

It was a WONDERFUL Christmas! Thank you everyone for all of the MANY MANY gifts! We love everything! (This throw was a gift from my parents and it is the softest thing EVER!)

Time to start thinking about NEXT year!
