Christmas Day

was spent with my family....



and my love of 9 years (if you count our dating years this makes our 13th Christmas together! wow!)

There were immediate hugs and thanks.....

and smiles with the girls....

and while everyone anticipated the opening of presents.....


the kids decided that the process should BEGIN!

(I love Layton's face - it's blurry, but it captured how excited he was!)

Yay for remote control tractors:)

Mady and Luke needed a little help with their packages...

but discovered lots of toys for boys...

and girls!

My beautiful grandmother

my brother and  his new fiance

Dad finally entered the technology age with an iPad!

while they both enjoyed sleepy snuggles from Lukey:)

The dinner table was ready and waiting for us.....

and so were three little munchkins.

After dinner, Christmas PJ's were worn, and Pops got some hugs...



and Momma got a picture with her boys!


More some cousin love...

 

and sweet chubby hands,

then wrestling with Daddy in Christmas PJ's...

and quality time with Pops and Uncle Blake

Our Christmas consists of lots of visiting....

and LOTS of play...

and while it was tempting to stare at the beauty of this...

I couldn't help but stare at the sweethess of this...
