Merry Christmas!!! 
We kept the tradition going yesterday morning by heading to the movie theater. We saw Mary Poppins Returns. Great movie, we all really enjoyed it. Didn't take any photos, I am getting lazy!! We had a few short hours at home to have lunch & get us all ready for church.
Christmas Eve photo after church & before the girls got into their jammies. They had been just waiting for their matching pj's so we had to get the photos in right away.
 One of my favorite days of the year. I love these littles so much. 
Great company, lots of eating & a very serious game of Bingo for the kiddos...
 So happy to have my grandparents home for Christmas this year. It's been a long time since this has happened... so we needed a group pic! Quite the crew at my moms again. Such a fun night.
Then it was time to head home & get things ready for Santa's arrival. Tired kiddos that were told they could not wake us up before 7:00am. It was 6:58 when Gary heard them & 7:02 when Maeve ran excitedly into our room very excited about the chair Santa had brought her. Her heart rate had to have been through the roof!
She also got the LOL Bigger Surprise she asked for, slime supplies, clothes, a unicorn stuffed animal & some art/drawing stuff. Margaux had a very piggy Christmas. She was thrilled to open a new ipod, new Addidas joggers, more clothes, games & all things pig. 
Marin also got a new ipod & was excited even though she had really high hopes of getting an iphone. She squealed when she opened a new Vera Bradley blanket, a furry rug, lots of new clothes, dry shampoo & much more.
All three of them were very excited. Such a fun & magical morning. Gary & I got them a hoverboard, new playstation4 remotes & the Minecraft game so they can all play together now. After presents, 
we enjoyed breakfast together with Grandma/Grandpa, the Johnsons & Mike, Ross & Camille. Mid day today we headed down to Veraghen's. Spent the whole day in our jammies, it was perfect. 
All matching this year... 
We had a great day. The kids worked on a Christmas variety show, complete with 14 acts! It was long but oh so cute. All the while the adults enjoyed slush, prepped dinner & worked the entire day on a 1,000 piece puzzle. It was quite the group effort.
We have so much to be thankful for... I am sad to see Christmas come to an end. We are all definitely looking forward to the rest of break & some family down time. We've had a lot of fun, jam-packed days. I have a strong feeling our whole house will sleep in tomorrow. Merry Christmas!!!! xoxo
