Christmas Day

We spent Christmas Day with Ryan's family. We had such a great day together celebrating Christmas! First things first, we had to get a picture of all these adorable cousins in their matching PJ's....
This was the best of many attempts!And this was my favorite outtake! We tried to get a picture of Grandma and Boppo with all their grandkids, but as you can see the kids were pretty much done with pictures by this point!Grandma and Boppo's house was beautifully prepared... and the kids went nuts over all the stockings and presents under the tree!
Boppo began by reading the Christmas story...
This year's reading made me smile. While Boppo read away, Charlie sat on his lap listening intently, Lily and Hudson goofed around on the floor and Jacob recounted his own version of the Christmas story for Gracie...And then we opened stockings and exchanged gifts...
The kids all got pillow pets, and Jacob immediately brought his monkey up to Ryan's lap and cuddled up for awhile.
After gifts, the little ones took their naps and Grace and Jake cuddled up for a Christmas movie...
And then Auntie Brooke had them frost and decorate Jesus' birthday cake!
We shared an amazing meal together and then sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and enjoyed some yummy dessert!
We are so blessed by such an amazing family - what an incredible Christmas we had!

Hey Kerri! We all bought the PJs at the carters outlet in Lincoln City, OR when we were on vacation this summer. So fun...
