Family Christmas

We celebrated Christmas with Chris’ family yesterday and had a blast. My parents came up on Christmas Eve and spent the night with us and my mom and I went shopping for Milo Christmas gift while Chris, my dad, my father-in-law, Grandfather-in-law, and Brother-in-law went bowling. On Christmas morning Sheralyn (my mother-in-law) made all of us breakfast and we played games and mom and dad played and sang until lunch. Then it was present time and Ethan (my nephew) had a blast passing out presents and opening them. Milo slept through all of that which was amazing given the noise level! I can’t wait until next year when Milo will be able to toddle around and open his own presents. The adults had a white elephant gift exchange and a couples gift exchange which was a blast. I love that my parents and In-laws can have Christmas together and it be such a joyful relaxed time. They really do like each other and enjoy each others company, it makes life so nice. I definitely got blessed when I married Chris, not only with the worlds best husband but with the worlds best in-laws as well!

Here are a few pics:

I was trying to take a pic of Milo with the tree background but he was really not liking it.


Brooke was Chewing on my camera strap as I took her pic


My husband is so silly

Chris opening Milo's gifts. I think he is going to inherit his daddy's penguin obsession


Sheralyn gave all the guys a hand held game called 20 questions and after they all opened them things got really quiet and these pics were happening all at the same time.


Ethan got a guitar for Christmas and here he is, a future Rock Star in the making




Brooke was taking a nap during the present opening but when she got up she got to open hers too.
