Christmas Eve and Christmas were such awesome days! Christmas Eve morning started off with Wood River donuts at Mom's house with Sarah, Michael, Cash, and my sister Dana was able to make it over too!! Mom and Adam were there too if you didn't assume that. We played and entertained Cash for a lot of that morning. We weren't sure if Cash was scared of Adam's deep voice, but he would start crying when Uncle Adam would start talking the first couple of meetings they had. It was pretty funny! But the little girls they love Adam. His little cousin Sophie in Georgia after a couple of days of us being there reached out to him wanting him to hold her. This would be not be so weird usually, except that her mom was holding her at the time and she never let go of her mom. Second example. That night at his Uncle Mike's Church,Lifehouse, a little girl around 2 ran up to him and hugged him. Asked his name everything!! Yeah never met the little girl in his life!! Someone wants all boys when we start having kids but I'm thinking he's a little girls daddy through and through hahahaha!!
But I digress back to our Christmas fun filled weekend. Christmas Eve night started with Adam and I's tradition. We always have takeout Chinese, watch a Christmas Story, and open our stockings to each other. We altered it a little this year. Adam's parents joined us for some greasy chinese food (that was awesome) and then Adam and I went to Metro's Christmas Eve service. Afterwards, we went to Uncle Mike's Christmas Eve service and got to see the family as well. Then off to bed...more festivities the next day.
Christmas Day...so fun and so full! We started off at my Mom's house for christmas with my family. We opened presents and then Adam and I got to work making breakfast for everyone. I made Blueberry scones and Adam made potatoes, eggs, and bacon. Then we had to get everyone ready for Aunt Lydia's house.

Our large Caravan headed to my Aunt Lydia's for my mom's side for christmas. We got to see almost everyone. It was our first Christmas without my Grandma Mary, she passed away this fall and we all miss her terribly. We were also missing my Uncle Mike, who was unfortunately in the hospital recovering from surgery. He is one of my biggest supporters for living over here and always encourages me to have a blast and see as much as possible, and I dearly love him for that.
Well a lot of food and a little spit up from Cash later and Adam and I had to take off for more food and the Ward's side for Christmas. We had so much fun talking with everyone in Adam's family. We ate waaayy to much food and played some Christmas trivia games that Debbie Created. It was a very long and fun filled day!
