Christmas seemed to never end this year and it was wonderful (and tiring)!
Slade, Lily & I celebrated our favorite holiday for five days straight...a total of six Christmas gatherings. We enjoyed some great family time, a little rest and lots of food :)
Christmas Eve started off with a visit to the Jackson's for their annual drop in party. We enjoyed some time with extended family, yummy food and got to spend some time with Mema.
We headed to the Lichter's for dinner. Sugar, Boss and Cody joined us. It was great to have some "calm before the storm" and enjoy a low key evening. We made cookies for Santa too :)
In their Christmas Jammies :)
We headed home with cookies in hand and got ready for Santa to visit!
Lily is our sleepy head...she makes sure she gets at least 12 hours of sleep...so we had to wake her up around 8:30 to get the day started...good thing Santa didn't disappoint :)
We didn't put up a tree this year, with our house in mid-renovation, but the morning was still magical! Lily loved all her new toys! It was so fun to sit and watch her experience the morning. Spending time with my two loves while celebrating the birth of Jesus, playing with new toys and opening some gifts is hard to beat.
The rest of Christmas day was spent at the Lichter's with Sugar, Boss, Cody and Bebe. Papa Rick also came over to visit with the kids for a bit too. Several Christmas movies were watched and the day was pretty restful...just the way I like it :)
The next four days were spent celebrating with Lily's other grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Mema joined us too :)
As you can see, our Christmas week was busy but so.much.fun! We are indeed blessed to celebrate the birth of our Savior with the ones we love the most. Nothing is more important to us than our family...we are grateful to be able to spend time with them during such a special season.
I hope you had a Christmas filled with joy and love too! Merry Christmas!
