Christmas Day.

Us on Christmas morning.
 Lydia was given a recliner just her size for Christmas.
 And she received a baby and a stroller.
 She loved the baby so much she just had to give it a kiss.

 Cousin Addie gave Lydia these mickey mouse books.
She is obsessed.
 I can tell she thinks this is the best present ever.
 Why hello there Gregory.
 Anthropologie gives their gift cards in these cute pouches.
Isn't that adorable?

After Christmas morning with the Simmons,
we headed down to Madre's.

We opened presents and ate food.
Isn't that what Christmas is about?
 Greg and Kade got matching U of U beanies.
Very cute guys.

 A puppy in a purse for Lydia.

 I got a recipe book filled with wonderful recipes from sister-in-law Janel.
I loved it.
 Lydia and her cousins played around on their beds
while getting ready for bed Christmas night.

The family portrait taken on Christmas afternoon.
 The next morning we all went to church together
and set up to take a picture afterwards.
Here is a great outtake of my side of the family watching me
rush into place while trying to grab little Tayden at the same time.
Most of them looked so concerned!
 Now the real deal.
Not a shabby looking group!

We had a wonderful day celebrating the birth of Christ.
Hope everyone else did as well.
