Christmas 2013...

Love Christmas Eve...
Love having my family over.


Love delicious food.


Love gorgeous winter days like this one was.
A perfect day for a family snowball fight.
We invested in these snowball makers (found them at Sportsman Warehouse).  I actually might stand a chance in a snowball fight with these!
But I was still happy to be the photographer... thus not getting soaked like these crazies!!






Two small children retreated in tears.
Other than that I think they all had a great time!

There was the traditional "chimes" playing...



Later Shane dressed up as Santa to help deliver some gifts with our girls and the Astle's.
He looked pretty great!




The Christmas Eve "pajama tradition" continued.



Three little thugs... 


They all had a sleepover in Tay's room.
Pretty sure they didn't all end up sleeping in the bed though. :)


So glad our girls love each other so much.


It took them forever to go to sleep.
They kept checking the "Santa Tracker."


But then...
It was Christmas Morning.


And everyone was super happy with their gifts... and each other.




Shane spent the morning putting things together....
like flying fairies.  haha
One day he's going to be super excited to put something boyish together with a little grandson. :)


A yummy lunch at my mom's.

Acting out the nativity.



And cousin time.


Made Christmas super special.
We went to the afternoon showing of Frozen.
And spent a quiet night together.

Christmas 2013 was perfect.
