Christmas Recap

{Warning; picture heavy post below!}

Love, love, loved being in my own home this year for Christmas! Now that we have 2 kiddos, I hope to continue this tradition and have grandparents just come visit us up here. Yes, it's stressful preparing meals and cleaning and entertaining a full house, but there's something special about being in your own home as a child on Christmas morning.

So we started Christmas Eve with cookie decorating followed by our Christmas Eve service at church.

Then, on Christmas morning it was banana bread followed by stocking opening, two traditions that I'll never go without!

Then it was on to the main show with presents galore for Drew. This was the first year that he could read all of the tags and sort all of the presents into piles. His excitement level for each gift was fun to watch and he thoroughly has enjoyed playing with all of his new toys these last few days. 

This little one passed out after all of the unwrapping while Drew read some of his new books quietly among the mess.

This one had a great 1st Christmas and I'm already looking forward to next Christmas when I have TWO kids unwrapping presents!

Cheers to a wonderful 2015 from my family to yours!
