Christmas was a wonderful opportunity for us to spend time focusing on the Savior's birth, making memories with family members, eating yummy treats, and spending time at home with our little growing family!
Micah and I had a lot of fun watching the girls have a lot of fun and seeing the looks of awe, adoration, love, surprise and utter excitement on their faces on different occasions throughout the Christmas Festivities this year!!
We are blessed to have so much family so close by! We were able to spend some fun Christmas times with Micah's family in NOVA earlier in the month, and then this past weekend we were able to have Christmas with Pop and Bamie on Friday night, then go to Mimmi and Dooders and Great Aunt Debra's on Christmas Eve and then on Christmas Day we spent the morning together at home and then, since Christmas was on Sunday this year, we got to go to church Sunday morning and then we were off to Mema's for a delicious Christmas Lunch and then back home for the rest of the day to relax and enjoy the girls as they enjoyed their gifts and each other!! It was a wonderful Christmas Time this year, that is for sure!
