Christmas Celebrations

Our first Christmas celebration this year was with my dad, stepmom-Marie, my sister-Kelly, and her hubby-Pat. It's always great to get together at Kelly's for the weekend with a birthday celebration and Christmas celebration you know it's going to be fun. Lots of food, wine, and great laughs.

Friday night we stayed up late talking and drinking. Saturday came too early. Noon was the lunch and birthday party. Afterwards, the kids couldn't wait to open their Christmas gifts. After dinner that night, Bailey had dance recital. So we all bundled up and went to watch. As always the show was great. Once we were home and the kids were in bed, it was time for the adults to open gifts. Definitely a much slower pace of things. I was Santa (so no pics of me) and we enjoyed our time together. It was a great start to the holiday season.
