The kiddos came down about 7:30, so excited to dig into their stockings! I love their sweet morning faces. Ruby opened her gifts from the night before, and we had a relaxing morning.
The blanket of snow was picture perfect for Christmas morning. What a great surprise!
We packed up earlier than expected to head to Papa and Nana's so Dallas could go into town to get treated for his shingles (boooooo). Although he was discouraged that morning, it all ended up fine and we had a fantastic day.
The kids exchanged cousin gifts, we did sister gifts, and Alisa gave her gift of personalized notepads (a tradition started with our aunt!). We enjoyed a beautiful and delicious meal, followed by the annual Nativity story and Papa and Nana's presents. The kids did such a good job of waiting patiently and loved everything they got. They ran off to play while the adults did their gifts and sat around visiting. We played some games, the men devoured chicken wings, and we just chilled out. It was absolutely lovely.

We ventured home to get a good night's sleep and start the festivities all over again.
