We held our usual Christmas Day celebrations with Brittany and her family on Christmas Eve since we would be leaving early on Christmas Day to go to the airport. This will be the first time since they've lived here that we won't be together on Christmas Day.
"elf"ing a neighbor who had been missed (it's never too late!)
Dropping off another gift for a neighbor
Such a gorgeous day! We enjoyed being outside in the sun without jackets and playing on bikes. Max is too big for this little trike he got when he turned one but he still wanted to ride it.
Taking turns on the big bike
Ms Mary Ann and Mr Chris came over to exchange presents.
We had a yummy ham dinner
Silly goofs
cupcakes for dessert
video - Uncle Joe had Emmalyn cracking up
Time to open presents!
Max was slightly fooled when he opened his present and it was a gingerbread house decorating kit...but he kept going...
What?! A minion shirt?? He was super excited
And a bey blade? He was very happy
The boys liked the boogie boards we got them.
Opening the Christmas PJs
Writing his letter to Santa
"Dear Santa Please bring my present that I want. From Max Millar"
All the kiddos in their PJs (Maxwell was checking to see if he had stinky feet)
Time to head to bed, cowboy
Peter knocked out around 1 am... Momma was still going. Christmas Eve is always a busy, late night but it was a REALLY late night because we had to pack for our trip to Utah, too.
Our house all decorated this year.
I didn't put all the decorations out this year but I still had lots out. I have loved having the canvas pictures of Christmas's past as decorations.
Santa came!

Santa's note back to Maxwell
Max's presents
Emmalyn's presents
Our door of Christmas cards. It a fun reminder of how many great friends and family we are lucky to have.
Santa even filled up the stockings for Momma and Daddy.
