We started with the Rider's the Saturday before Christmas celebrating Grandma's 80th birthday and getting in our Bingo playing, eating, and being silly with cousins.
We continued our Christmas celebrating on the 23rd with Matt's parents and sister's family. This was the night we told the kids our big news.
Lincoln (who is a never nude and hates having his clothes off) chose to spend opening presents sans shirt!
Telling the kids our surprise
Christmas Eve morning we had brunch with some of the Millers. Lincoln and Sophia had fun playing with Braydon.
Christmas Eve, we went to candle light service at church. Definitely my favorite service of the year.
Love my family!
After church we headed to the annual crab feed. Can't say it enough, but I LOVE my neighbor family.
Christmas morning was spent opening presents at my parents then breakfast across the street at the Staggs. Lincoln, Hudson, and Mason had a great time messing up some of Lily's puzzles while all the bigs had fun watching the toy fish swim around the pool.
The rest of Christmas day was spent at our house. Matt, Matt, and Grant put together an amazing steakhouse type of dinner for everyone. After so many busy days, it was nice to be home even though we had lots of people there.
Our celebrations continued on the 26th with the Millers. We talked a lot about Disneyland (Matt's aunt is quite the expert since she has a seasonal pass (even though she lives in Puyallup, Wa!), played Bingo, and sadly my camera took a tumble and broke. :( I did get 1 picture in before it died.
The grandkids with Grandma Miller
It was an amazing season! Lincoln loved everything about it, especially the lights, which made all of our drives at night so fun. Sophia's dream came true and she finally gets to go to Disneyland. We can't wait!
I love Soph's expression when she opened the gift. So exciting!
