christmas day

My parents, Scott's parents and brothers and KR came over to celebrate Christmas. It was so nice to have everyone over. We were all spoiled with lots of gifts and loads of food. Bea loved being at home and showing off her room and new should shrugs.

christmas morning

Christmas morning was such a treat. We ate some "christmas oatmeal" (Scott's idea) and had some divine coffee cake from Annie and then moved onto Santa gifts! Bea was a little slow to open her gifts, but really got excited once she saw what was underneath.

christmas eve

Christmas Eve is one of the main highlights of the season for me (and hopefully Scott and Bea). As usual, my pictures are random and don't really tell the full story. Bea, Leo and Emmett reallly enjoyed themselves. Lots of climbing and LOTS of exploring Grammie's pantry.

misc festiveness

Just a few random pictures leading up to Christmas Eve. Bea made lots of seasonal crafts at daycare this year, including a pint-size gingerbread house. She now likes to pull and rough up her hair at the end of a meal, hence the Nick Nolte picture. And lastly, we went on a looong Christmas Eve morning walk and then out to lunch. Bea was in heaven, boppin' to the holiday tunes waiting for her food.
