In the morning, we woke up to the first white Christmas we've had in a while. Everything was still when we looked out the window. Ella was quick to make sure everyone knew that God had given us a sweet Christmas gift of a beautiful snowy morning.
The girls were up before six and I was able to hold them back until about 6:30. Then, they started Christmas morning in their very favorite way...by jumping on Uncle Cory to let him know it was time to OPEN PRESENTS! He really is happy about it...you just can't tell when I take a picture that shines a flash in his face as soon as he opens his eyes.
First, unpacking those stockings!
Uncle Cory couldn't stop playing with Abby's mermaid sequin flip pillow! By the end of Christmas day, he was wishing for his own fidget spinner and flip pillow.

Crazy Christmas morning hair!
These sweet sisters love each other. I loved watching them exchange the gifts they specifically picked out for each other.
In between stockings and presents, we stop for some breakfast. Egg Casserole, cinnamon rolls and fruit salad fueled us for round two.
One of Juliet's very favorite gifts this year was getting her own wallet.

The afternoon festivities continued when Grandma, Casey and Bella arrived.
Having Bella with us was a fun new addition to our family this year!

True love is teaching him how to trim his nose hairs with his new trimmer.
We enjoyed a fancy birthday cake for Jesus this year as Abby read us the last day of our advent devotional. It was a powerful way to wrap up our celebrations.
I was so thankful for all the moments we had together on Christmas. I love every minute we have with so many people we love under the same roof. After everyone headed home, I collapsed on the couch in the middle of all the toys and wrapping paper scraps with a full heart. So thankful for this life.
