Our Christmas

I am loving seeing the Christmas recaps all over Blogland today! It looks like Santa was good to pretty much everyone :) 

Our new living room was completed *just* in time for Christmas!! Tuesday the carpet went in, and Tuesday night Keith and I moved the couch and the Christmas tree into the room. We didn't do gifts this year, and instead decided that this new room was our gift to each other. And honestly, after not having a living room on our main floor for 16 months .... this was one of the best presents ever!

Christmas Eve- Eve

Christmas Eve my mother-in-law, Keith's stepfather and his brother and sister came over for dinner. His brother brought his girlfriend, and his sister's college friend came as well. We had a full house! We made lasagna and stuffed shells for dinner - and drank lots of wine! We had cheesecake and oreo balls for dessert along with a mini hot chocolate bar.

The whole family

I love my people <3

Santa came!!!

Christmas morning we slept in, after being up a little too late and drinking one too many cocktails :) Enjoying the couple years before we have to get up at 6am to open presents :) 

Keith's father and stepmother came over at 10am to open presents and have breakfast.

My two loves checking out all the presents

That grin :)

I think she loves shoes like her mama

Merry Christmas Y'all!

This is her new "face" -- little Miss Sass, she gets her attitude from her mama!

I know that she has no idea what Christmas is or what presents are, but she certainly had a blast! She loved the tissue paper and all the boxes her toys came in :) She's just now getting to be at an age where she loves to play with toys, so Christmas was perfect timing for her!

This was the first year that we didn't travel at all for Christmas. Normally we split our time and drive all over creation to see everyone and it's not very relaxing for us; so this year we decided to just stay home. We had 4 1/2 glorious days off, with nowhere to be! It was truly relaxing and enjoyable, filled with lots of snuggles and playing and staying in our pjs all day long. 

I hope that your Christmas was as wonderful and magical as ours!!
