christmas recap

Christmas Eve was spent eating all day, cleaning until my allergies took over and wrapping presents. My families tradition is to order pizza for Christmas Eve dinner and watch 'It's a Wonderful Life.' Dave loved that tradition so much that we do it every year in our home too. I think I was a little excited for Christmas because Christmas Eve went so SLOW! So to help pass the time we played games. And because I'm feeling too lazy to write a big fancy post, here are some pictures to do the talking. Enjoy!

 Settlers of Catan, fun game!
 Soo my allergies got the best of me after cleaning all day and frozen broccoli on my face was the only thing helping hahaha

 cuddling with this guy :)
bedtime stories

Once Kyson scurried off to bed, Santa came! Santa was a little upset though, we forgot to put out cookies and milk for him. Oops!

Christmas morning started for us around 9:30. Kyson decided to sleep in and we were totally ok with it.


After opening all those presents we played! And then we ate and then we played some more. And then we napped. What's Christmas without a Christmas nap?
When I woke up, my sweet hubby surprised me with some diamonds!! Best wake-up call I've had in a while :)
Aren't they gorgeous?! I had been hinting to Dave for months that I really wanted a pretty diamond necklace to wear for more dressy occasions. He went above and beyond my expectations and got me two beautiful necklaces. Exactly the kind I was looking for. The man is good at this stuff!


It was an amazing Christmas spent with the two people I care about the most. We all got spoiled, made some great memories and everybody was happy, happy, happy! I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.
