Christmas Eve:
Lisa and Trevor graciously host
delicious dinner
adorable performances from sweet children
singing carols
absolutely my favorite picture of the holidays, just minutes before my all time favorite Christmas moment. during the program mckay went up to lisa and told her he had four songs prepared. wait, what? We planned on nothing. I talked him down to two songs: Angels We Have Heard on High, and You Better Watch Out (a duet with Elle). he sang Angels We Have Heard on High with just a little guidance from me, unrehearsed and completely beautiful. he was like a sweet little choir boy. it melted my heart. just melted it right there.
the kids went to bed so easily. mckay was so ready, especially since getting confused on christmas eve morning- thinking that's when santa comes. he had to do the night before christmas sleep two nights in a row, poor boy.
Christmas Morning:
baby stuff
pirate ship
homemade jammies
lots of playing
santa's spread. he did pretty good for a sparse year.
baby kate got spoiled. the little mother wouldn't put her new diaper bag down as she opened all the rest of her gifts.
grandma got him this garbage truck. it's like a real garbage truck. he was picking up little piles of garbage for days. very fun toy.
reindeer food was a big hit
Christmas Day:
Grammy and Poppy's
piles of presents
piles of food
mom and dad spoil us
wonderful company
i was not very good at taking pictures. just didn't focus on it as much as i usually do. i like this one, although i know my mom won't like her face. i think it's cute. dad got a new penn state hat and lots of books.
Christmas Night:
another fancy dinner
loved the program
did some marching
and dancing too
of course the nativity
adorable children
second favorite picture of the holidays. wish it wasn't blurry. oh jaynie.
we sang. i got kinda nervous. i don't sing in front of others. ellery is dressed up as half of cinderella- a gift from grammy. she wouldn't take it off.
only some of the cast.
Overall we had a wonderful couple days celebrating Christmas with our family. We are so happy that we were able to be there for so long and spend so much time with those we love the most.
stay tuned for more Christmas season goodness. . .

Ps. Yes, I learned how to make my own headers. You can either download Picasa. Just google Picasa and you can add text to your images and edit them. Or there is a website called picnik.com. YOu can make the rounded edges, there are stickers and fun things to play around with. Let me know if you need any help! I would love to make a header for you if you want or you can make your own! :)
