Christmas this year was absolutely perfect! We spent Christmas Eve at my grandparents' house with my entire family, aunts, uncles and cousins. There were more presents under the tree than any other year. I had to giggle when we had all arrived and placed the presents, my grandfather exclaimed, "Holy Smokes!" We usually dedicate a separate day to open gifts with my parents, sister and brother-in-law. This year we just combined it all on Christmas Eve.
My aunts Mary and Diane both play the piano. Each year before gift opening they play and we sing Christmas songs. Breezy was particularly interested in the piano playing this year.
Benny loves my cousins Sam and Jack. He looks up to them like big brothers. It is really sweet to see them all play together.
Avery opening one of her favorite gifts, an American Girl Doll outfit.
On Christmas morning, the kids woke up to filled stockings, tons of wrapped presents and Grandma and Grandpa Fowble! Chadd's parents came in from Kansas City to spend the holiday with us. We were so grateful that they were able to experience Christmas through the eyes of their grandchildren this year.
(I have tried numerous times to add more pictures but blogger is being really wonky. Oh well!)
Bethany and Andy came over for a delicious Christmas dinner and we all celebrated together.
I can truthfully tell you that this Christmas was probably the best one that we have had. I am not sure why exactly. It must have been a bunch of little things that all worked so well together and created the perfect atmosphere for a spectacular holiday. I hope that your holiday was as merry and bright as ours was and that all of your Christmas wishes came true.
