We had dinner with my side of the family on Christmas Eve. My mom usually has extended family over for the Holidays but this year it was just our immediate family so she cooked nothing but our personal favorites including her famous macaroni and cheese.
My sisters...The Actibator and Moochie
Audrey and a couple of the guys
Rachie and I...showing some LOVE
Audrey...opening other people's presents
The girls and the Christmas Tree...thank goodness for cropping.
KT, Me and the Tree
Julia, David and the Tree
Christmas morning we woke up super early and went to see what Santa brought us at Kyle's parent's house. We got to open presents with Kyle's entire family. It was good times in pj's. Audrey got the funnest new bike...she is totally in LOVE with it. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!
Audrey held onto her gifts real tight on her way home. She kept an eye on her new bike the entire time.
Next, we went to my parent's house to see what Santa brought and we caught him still there! We could not believe he was in our living room waiting for us!!! Audrey didn't get to meet Santa this year so he stopped by for milk and cookies.
My dad got up at 6:00am on Christmas morning, got dressed up as Santa and went to homeless shelters all morning delivering gifts to children. He had such a good time and showed up to surprise Audrey once he was all done.
Once Santa was gone we opened gifts and had a HUGE breakfast. Gifts + Breakfast is my favorite combination!!! (Just for the record, that is Audrey's spit on KT's shirt)
Christmas night we went to Kyle's Aunt Shelley's house to have dinner and to party with Kyle's family. Every year we have a huge gift card exchange and it's always so much fun. This year we walked away with an Old Navy gift card and a Chili's gift card, which will make for a perfect evening in the near future.
