Christmas with Uncle Matt

Uncle Matt flew through for a short visit between flights!  The kids were beyond thrilled to spent a little quality time with Uncle Matt, eat brunch and open gifts.  

Christmas Day

The joy and excitement of the season exploded at our home Christmas morning! It was such a fun morning and Aunt Lana graciously got up early to help us capture it all! 
Lana and Charles made an amazing brunch for all of us.
The rest of the day was spent assembling, playing, and a few snowball fights!
Peace, Love and Joy to All!

We spent Christmas Eve with Grandma Mary, Papa D, Liz, Brandon, Emma, Abigail, Lana and Charles.  The kids spent hours playing together.  The adults spent hours eating, laughing and drinking wonderful spirits! We all came together for gifts, games and sweet treats. It was a perfect day together with family.
