Christmas

Christmas morning I woke up around 6:30am and headed to my mom's house. My little sisters usually wake up pretty early on Christmas and I wanted to be there to watch them open all their gifts. I thought they would already be awake when I got there, but they weren't! The whole house was still asleep! 

So, I started making cinnamon rolls and my first try at a breakfast casserole. Eventually, my step dad woke up and everyone else shortly after. I don't think we started opening gifts until about 8:30am! 

Next year, I am sleeping in, hopefully.

Waiting to come out and see what Santa brought.

So excited.






So tired from opening gifts.

After my mom's, I went home and waited for Ian to get off work. Then we went to my dad's, but I didn't take any pictures there. Finally, we went to Ian's mom's house for Christmas dinner. The kids had already opened their gifts, since we arrived so late, but we were just in time for dinner. We enjoyed a wonderful meal and just relaxed and watch the kids run around for the rest of the night.

Batmans.

Casey, looking all GQ.

All the kids with Grandpa.

He was obsessed with the movie, Mickey's Christmas Carol.

Christmas Eve

Every Christmas Eve, we go to my mom's house for dinner and we get to open one gift. This year was no exception. We watched A Christmas Story, enjoyed a wonderful meal, played with my little sisters, and opened gifts. 




The girls told me they wanted beads to make necklaces and stuff, 
so that is what I got them. 

Bailey made Ian and I this cute little snowman box and filled it with 
Ian's favorite, Reese's Peanut Butter cups!

Since Ian had to work on Christmas, we exchanged our gifts the night before. It kind of sucked having to do it that way, but it worked. 


I got Ian a LOST t-shirt and he absolutely loved it! Of course, I knew he would.

Ian bought me a baby photography book for inspiration!
