Christmas 2016



brunch with santa, except we waited too long to get in line and missed santa. oops










on christmas eve, we had my dad's side of the family over for bbq and a potluck style lunch.
almost 40 of us were able to be there



i was the flower girl in these two guys weddings back in the day...




people sitting everwhere














 next up, Christmas eve service at church



then beddy bed time


christmas morning excitement

my favorite year yet. although i have a feeling i might say that next year too. 
God has been so very generous to us













christmas afternoon at my mom's house

love holding my nephew cole. i wish there was another word for your sister's baby besides just 'nephew' .... something like sister-child would feel more lovey. i'll keep thinking on that until i come up with a good one









then, christmas presents with nonnie, doc, and isaac's siblings































so much fun playing with cousin cruz and houston cousins 


for dinner, isaac's parents had local chef lee Richardson come in to cook a special dinner. 
no one had to cook or clean up, and each of the (7 i think!?) dishes were unforgettably amazing. such a treat. 









celebrating our faith in Jesus this season was pure joy
