Christmas this year was awesome! The girls now seem to be at that magical age when Christmas is the absolute best day of the year. We had a lot of running around to do, but I don't mind because it just means we are blessed with a lot of people to visit and love.
As usual, we started out on Christmas Eve with the Egan party which was held at the Deckers this year. We played the Amazing Race again and Josh's team won - again - likely due to a lot of crazy driving. And this year, the girls decided to jump right in to the annual program with a couple of performances. They sang Jingle Bells, but they also sang "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri. Nope, not even close to being a Christmas song, but it's one of their favorites and they ask to hear it in the car all the time. Josie especially sings her little heart out.
Here's another shot of the group singing together.
Christmas morning we got up, but not too early. Lucky us, the girls aren't yet to the age that they know to wake up at the crack of dawn. Josh made some sticky buns and we opened the presents that Santa brought.
New princess bikes!
Later that day, we headed up to Bubba and Grandpa's house for the Wathen family gathering. There was more food and more presents. Josie and Piper love playing with little EJ.
Giving lots of love to Conor and Melissa, reading with Grandma Bubba and opening presents.
Then to round out our Christmas day, the Jones family came down to our house. The girls ran wild in the basement with their cousins, we ate more food, and opened more presents.

It was a great holiday season and I feel very blessed.
