My Favorite Days of the Year

December 22 starts the beginning of such a fun time. My siblings start arriving for Christmas and mama's house is full of people... fun and laughter. I am so thankful that our family blended in 2003... I didn't know what a blessing it would be at the time. We have grown so much and have made so many memories. 

Our annual Reindeer food making... Caroline made her own this year... and got mad when her daddy told her to stop eating it!

The big kids... Ashton plays along just for me :)

This boy LOVES his BoBo.

GeeGee and is oldest grandchild.

Abo and Kensie

Aunt Tanya and Charlotte.

All the grandbabies.

Holden loved playing with Caroline.

This sums up the craziness.

Look at that little photobomber.

Love these two!

Holden was eating gummies. All the pics during this time looked like this.

He loved opening gifts.

So did he...

On Christmas Eve morning, we got up early to head to Gram and Papa's for breakfast and gifts. Here is daddy and his baby boys.

After breakfast, we headed to Grandma and Grandma's for lunch and then home so Holden could get a nap before Christmas Eve communion.

After Communion, we came home to start our Christmas Eve traditions.

We spread out our reindeer food...

We took a bath and dressed in our Christmas jammies for a picture and to read the Christmas story.

Then we fixed Santa's treats... 

Then, after the babies were tucked into bed... Santa came...

They loved seeing what Santa brought and opening their gifts.

Playing Bennett's guitar

Modeling his new Under Armour hat.

Trying out his new pacis that Santa left in his stocking.

After breakfast at BigBig's we headed to Gaga and GeeGee's.

After lunch, we headed home for a good nap and relaxed for a while until it was time for supper at Big Big's. 

GeeGee and Holden

Love this baby brother.

Love the bond they have.

Pics of my village. I love this crew fiercely. 

Me and my boys.

Granddaddy and some of his grands.

Granddaddy, grands and greatgrands.

Photobomber...

Love these peeps...

Christmas 2016 has come and gone... what a great one it was!
