Christmas - Round 2

We were on our own for Christmas, but Nana and Papa came a few days later, and we got to celebrate all over again. Of course, we had to do gifts right away because there was no way to stop Grady.

Christmas is (was) here!

So I am behind here, but my excuse is the big first birthday party that we finally pulled off for Camille this weekend!

Before I get to that, let me recap some of our Christmas festivities. We seemed to have lots this year!

We had a big tub on Christmas Eve morning. That way we didn't need to worry about it that night when we would be busy





Anson helped Daddy make the crockpot turkey



We also decorated cookies!





Our masterpieces



We went to church that evening, where Grady was Wise Man #1 in the pageant (he nailed it!). Then we came home and spread reindeer food on the lawn



After a nice dinner, the kids put on their matching pjs and piled onto the couch for Christmas stories









Right before bed




Christmas Day up next!
