Christmas

I'm finally getting to my Christmas post! We had a great holiday! Christmas Eve was spent at my parents house. We were there with my Grandpa and Grandma Empey, Grandpa Kelly and Blake's girlfriend Andrea. We had a great dinner and played Catch Phrase after. It was fun to have Grandpa and Grandma playing with us! Then of course we all opened our Christmas Eve PJ's before going home.

This picture is a little out of order. This was around noon on Christmas Day, just hanging out waiting for Steven's family to come over.










Back to Christmas Eve, Ava trying to get into the gifts under my parents tree.


Christmas Morning! Santa came to see Ava!!






I love this picture of her with her Santa gifts in her Christmas PJ's. I don't think she really knew what the heck was going on.








Helping her open gifts. I love how excited she is in this one!







Checking out all her new stuff













Charlee already tearing apart his gift!

Christmas Day we had all of Steven's family over. It was our first big gathering at our house. It was so much fun! I am so mad I didn't take a single picture! We had 17 people, we had the dinning room table and a table set up in the middle of our living room. It worked really well! We had lots of fun hanging out chatting and had a great dinner! After dinner we all gathered around and exchanged gifts. I think it will become a tradition to have everyone over at our house on Christmas.
That's it! It's so weird that it's almost been a month since Christmas. I'm already looking forward to next year!
