Christmas at Nammy and Big Papa's

We started our Christmas festivities the Wednesday before Christmas. With lots of family, we try to spend equal amount of time with everyone. It's also important for us to spend Christmas morning at our own house as a little family so we figured out that it works best to spend the couple of days leading up to Christmas with one side of the family and then the days after with the other side of the family. Basically this year it looked like this: Wednesday through Christmas Eve night with my family, drive home Christmas Eve and sleep in our own beds to wake up and have Christmas morning with our little fam, drive to the other family later on Christmas night and spend a couple of days after there. We switch the order each year of who we go see before and who we see after Christmas. It sounds confusing but it is seeming to work for us!

So anyway, this year we headed to my parents' house and enjoyed lots of fun time with them leading up to Christmas! Of course Lauren loved being loved on and ate up all of the attention. It's like she is neglected at home or something, ha!

My dad put lights on the house this year just for Lauren. She absolutely loved them and I thought it was so sweet that he did it just for her!




 There were so many presents. We are very blessed.
