And so this was Christmas!

Friday, January 10, 2014

Hi Friends!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and have been staying warm amidst the winter's cold! 
I finally got around to going through my Christmas photos today...which has resulted in me having Christmas songs stuck in my head all afternoon! haha It's funny what pictures can do to you.
Unfortunately, Brandon had to work on Christmas day which is why he is missing from these photos. (But, we were sure to have our own Christmas together, too! After all-you can never have too many Christmas celebrations, right!) "And so this is was Christmas...." and what a great Christmas it was!! 

Christmas day with my family.

Bentley wanted in on the fun, too!
My adorable mother makes the best gift opening expressions!
Last Christmas as a non-married couple! Just a few more months til they say "I DO!"
It was Thanksgiving Dinner all over again,  yummmm! so wonderful.
Afternoon walk with the family...and yes, it was complete with singing Christmas Carols too. So much fun! :)
I love these girls!!
PS-Happy Birthday (today) to my amazing brother Bryan!!!! love you!
After our walk, it was pie time! (Thanks to Sarah  for the beautiful and delicious pie!! I think Bentley liked it too ;))
Love the ornaments that mean so much. (Left to Right: My parents first ornament together, ornaments from our family vacations, and crafts we did as kids)
Seriously!!....
Are they not the cutest you've ever seen?! (This is Sophie, AKA Max from the Grinch's doppelgänger)
Just Precious. 
"And so this is Christmas...Another year over, and a new one just begun" 
Wishing you a blessed new year! Hope your holidays were fabulous!
