Merry Christmas!

I think this was my favorite Christmas ever. Saylor and Beckam make everything more fun, but especially Christmas. We spent a lot of time with family, which is such a blessing to us. Sharing the holidays with both sides of the family gets complicated and extra busy, but we love being able to be all together and make memories.

Christmas morning was so much fun! The look on the kids' faces when they saw everything was so sweet. Beckam found the empty mug and plate...
This face pretty much sums it up for Saylor. She got so excited with each present and would smile and squeal and dance around. So fun.
I think Beckam enjoyed it, even though we had to unwrap most of his stuff for him (he took too long to open things and would lose interest before he saw what was inside). Of all the stuff Beckam got he was most excited about his Buzz Lightyear Pez dispenser.
Saylor got a bunch of princess dress-up clothes. Here she is as Belle.
After all the presents were opened, it was off to the Baird's for a big breakfast and Christmas there. We got absolutely spoiled, thanks everyone! After that it was over to the Dahl's for more Christmas, more spoiling, and more food. Saylor got to help make sugar cookies. She was excited about choosing the shapes (few of them were Christmas-themed. Notice the bunnies, flowers, and butterflies...).
In my family we have a tradition of throwing a birthday party for Jesus. So Christmas night we headed back over to the Baird's for burgers and birthday cake!
Beckam usually asks for cake as soon as he wakes up every morning, so he was pretty excited.
We had an awesome Christmas. We had fun keeping old traditions and making a few new ones. We spent a lot of time with family. We ate way too much. It was definitely my favorite so far!
