Joshua and I drove to California the Wednesday before Christmas. We spent the next couple days visiting, seeing Joy and Lamar's new house, and finishing Christmas preparations. Of course, that included making shortbread cookies.
We celebrated together on Christmas Eve with snacks, hot spiced cider, presents, and Christmas dinner.
Since we had the whole group together and had a new baby join the family since our last family picture, we had a brief photo shoot.
Christmas morning we drove to my parents' house and discovered that Mom and Dad had put together baskets of goodies for each family.
We kicked off the present opening with a picture of the cousins in front of the tree in the matching pajamas Mom made for them for Christmas.
After opening presents, we enjoyed an afternoon of games, playing with presents, and a walk.
Dad and Natalie tried out the Kinetic Sand, which is apparently a big thing right now and was really cool.
We finished the day off with Christmas dinner and peppermint ice cream. What a wonderful weekend of celebrating the birth of Christ with our families.
