Merry Christmas

Christmas 2015! No snow.....mid 60 degree temps.....in CNY! The one time I actually want to see all the white stuff it's nowhere to be found! We managed to get into the season anyway though.......
 
Baking Christmas cookies with friends that are like family!
 
 We had all our family join us for Christmas Eve candlelight service at our church
 
then spent the evening at Aunt Connie's celebrating.......

at home and in our annual Christmas Eve jammies from Aunt Connie
{{ its impossible to get a serious photo of these 2 maniacs lately so we just go with it!!}}

We are usually doing all the wrapping & assembling late Christmas Eve once the kids go to bed but this year we were actually ahead of the game & everything was done a few days before! Amazing first time for us......BUT then since Savannah was over tired & couldn't sleep we were up till 1am anyway......can't sneak everything outta the guest room & past her door while she's watching........then up at 6am ready to see the magic of what Santa brought! I love having Christmas Day to ourselves at home with no schedule or agenda! It's very rare were all home with nothing to do but enjoy the day so I always look forward to that! It was a nice lazy day wth movies & playing Barbies & eating sweets!
 
The 1am quick picture of the loaded up tree before we passed out......
A Barbie house for Emerson and a MacBook for Savannah were the Santa awesomeness this year!

Fun treats from their stockings......

A very nice Christmas indeed.........
