Christmas Day!

One of my most favorite days of the year is here as we celebrated Audrey's First Christmas! As is tradition we spent the whole day at my parents house with the my parents and the Reeves family. We start our day rather early with A Christmas Story marathon playing and opening all of our presents to each other. It is always so fun to see how excited the boys are especially as they are getting older and love to get new things. We enjoyed getting to celebrate both Audrey and Jonah's first Christmas and it was so special because all the kiddos were in the matching pajamas that Grandma made for them. I tried to get a good picture of them all but that's pretty much impossible at this stage but here are a few anyway!

Since we got to my parents a few minutes before the Reeves it was nice for Audrey to spend a little time hanging with her Papa. He just cracks her up and it's so fun to see them interact with each other.

 She kept her Santa hat from Emerie on for a while this morning which was fun as well! Once the Reeves arrived and we got some great pictures of all the kids we dug into presents! Audrey got some wonderful presents this year! Her Auntie and Uncle got her my favorite things using the awesome want, need, wear, read method which I just love and hope to do with Audrey in the coming years as she's older and understands better what's going on. She got her Cozy Coupe!! (want), Baby Doll (need - every little girl does!), a Minnie Mouse hoodie (wear), and some fun books (read). Grandma and Papa got her some fun bath toys and lots of fun clothes especially several new Minnie Mouse outfits for our upcoming trip!! 

Phil got lots of great tools for his workshop and a great poster of fictitious beers which is perfect for him!! My Mom made me lots of wonderful infinity scarves which I love and made us a beautiful new blanket with our name on it. She even got us a brand new iPad which will be great for traveling and for Audrey to learn all kinds of fun stuff on!!

 After all the presents were open Toby took the opportunity to enjoy his Kong under the Christmas tree :)

Six years ago, on Noah's first Christmas I bought him his very own Cozy Coupe and to return the favor Auntie M and Uncle Josh got one for Audrey on her first Christmas!! As a right of passage we had to get some pictures of her on top of the box before Auntie M put it together and we could take it for a spin! It's so wonderful and A lit up when we put her in it. We even took her for one last spin around our house when we got it home and it's super cute to see she can figure out how to pretend to drive the steering wheel already!

As usual, we had incredible food all day! Phil and Melissa made yummy pancakes, canadian bacon, sausage, and fruit salad for breakfast. Then we snacked on meatballs, cocktail wieners, shrimp, and crackers and cheese around lunch. Phil made the best Prime Rib yet this year! It was so tender and juicy you can hardly believe it! He also made mashed potatoes, a pile of roasted vegetables, and Yorkshire Pudding. It was just SO good. 

It was just such a wonderful day that we were able to spend with family. We are so blessed to have such a special family that enjoys spending so much time together and even though we often spend time together we always make this one day of the year so special and many memories are made. 

We even were able to snap a few pictures of our little family on our first Christmas together.
