Christmas: Part 3

Christmas Day we wrapped up our celebrations!  We started the morning being lazy at my mom's house with my little brother.  As we enjoyed a breakfast of warm muffins, the weather started to look wintery! We headed out to my dad's and the snow really started falling.  The day was spent eating munchies and staying warm with my dad, Lianna and my nanny, along with Lianna's daughter and her family.

Ashlynn was not feeling well, but we bundled her up and took her out in the snow for just a few minutes so that she could experience her first white Christmas!






Miss Priss did not eat much of a Christmas dinner, but the rest of us enjoyed bacon wrapped duck and jalepeno, and queso with elk sausage! 


When it came time for gifts, Ashlynn decided she would rather cuddle with her Uncle Shane and watch a video.  Poor thing was just under the weather all day :/


She did take a little break from the video to tear up some wrapping paper!



Once the gift opening festivities were over, Mark and Ashlynn took a nap while the rest of us vegged out and watched tv.  It was such a relaxing day!


Our day was not quite over yet.  We headed back to my mom's house that night for gifts with G-Ma and Gator!


After gifts, Ashlynn played while the rest of us packed up for our trip to Arkansas the next day!



Our Christmas celebrations were busy, but so relaxing and full of fellowship with family.  We were not able to attend a Christmas Eve service this year, but we hope to make that a tradition for our family in the coming years, along with sharing and focusing on the story of Christ's birth and the true reason for the season with our girls.
