our very merry christmas!


you may or may not be able to tell
but these photo booth photos were taken at 2:30am christmas morning!
yup! i don't even know how zoe and pia were functioning
my husband's side of the family always celebrates on christmas eve
presents are exchanged at midnight
so it always means a long day for us!
but it's always super duper fun



even though it was a late night the night before
the girls were wide awake christmas morning to see if santa stopped by


he sure did! 
making sure to take a nibble out of the sugar cookies we left for him
but the girls were upset that we forgot to leave carrots out for his reindeer
sorry reindeer!
santa left me the she & him christmas cd in my stocking!
wasn't that sweet and so hip of him? haha!

after we opened the gifts from santa
we open up the gifts from the rest of the family


our girls are truly so blessed
receiving so many lovely and thoughtful gifts each year


after gift opening, it's become a little tradition 
for my hubs to make breakfast!
this year he made waffles... so yummy


in the afternoon, we head over to my parents house
for more food and more gifts






it really truly is the most wonderful time of the year
being surrounded by family
 and celebrating the birth of our savoir jesus christ

hurry up  and come again christmas! we miss you already!
