Merry CHRISTmas...

Yes, it's January, but I am FINALLY coming around to making an update for December. It was a month of FOUR Christmas celebrations. Each unique. Each wonderful. Each we loved in different ways...

1st Christmas: Grandma's house!!! Yummy dinner grandma prepared for all of us, opening gifts and watching "Rudolf"! 

 Adeline's BIG gift was an Easy Bake Oven - we baked that night too! ;)

 Graham's BIG gift was this cool trike. You think he was having fun??? ;)

2nd Christmas: Snodgrass Family!!! A weekend in Jeff City to see PaPa, NaNa, Great Grandmother, Britney, Blake, Josh & Lexie.

 PaPa having some chill time with Graham.

 Addy & Lexie were like two peas in a pod!

 Excited about her gifts!

Missing Grandfather this Christmas...but love the time spent with family.

Enjoying an evening in their newly renovated basement. This year we introduced a new tradition making a craft. Of course I forgot to get pics of it because I was actually partaking instead of taking pictures! :)

AND we got to see many of our family on the Leivian side at Josephine's baptism (Scott was asked to be the Godfather) & 1 year birthday party! Including Great Grandma. :)

3rd Christmas: OUR CHRISTmas at home on Christmas morning.

It truly is the best Christmas of all. I prepare brunch ahead of time so there is NO cooking on Christmas! All of us stay in our PJ's all day. Wake up. Open stockings. Eat brunch. Daddy reads the Christmas story from the Bible. Take our time opening gifts. And the rest of the day is filled with JOY as we just be...

 Always taking time to dance with his daughter...be still my heart...

 Our Christmas Tree...after Santa came! ;)

4th Christmas: Mama's Side! Including Granny, Aunt Nae & Uncle Chuck with Chase, Blake, Emme, Ellison, Uncle Terry & Uncle Brian with Haylei & Rylee, Uncle Nick & Auntie Heather with Chelsey, Gavin & Lauren. It was a FULL house @ our house!

 So fun having Santa visit the kids & read "The Night Before Christmas".

 Granny playing "Santa" giving out ALL the gifts she got the grandkids!

Our beautiful table to eat our Greek Feast prepared by Aunt Angie. It was amazing...
