Christmas Festivities

We enjoyed celebrating Lincoln's third Christmas, but I'm a bit behind. We have lots of Christmas traditions and a specific way of doing things and this year wasn't any different. We enjoyed a day of finger foods and snacking while watching the snow fall before heading to the 3pm Christmas Eve service. Gran stayed home with Lincoln while he napped. Lincoln spent the night in his own house and even sprinkled some reindeer food for Rudolph. Here are a few pictures highlighting Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

Leaving cookies and milk for Santa.

Lincoln also left a letter for Santa.

After opening gifts and stockings at home, we headed to my parents house. Holly and Brian were there with Gran and my Mom and Dad. Here is a view of what was waiting for us when we arrived!

Lincoln with all his loot. He got some awesome things. A talking gorilla, the tent and some cutable wooden fruit were among the big hits!

The 8 of us. These posed shots are a family tradition! Glad to have Brian in this one!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year, I love the traditions, the predictability of what each moment brings and experiencing it all from Lincoln's perspective. We are really really blessed!
