Christmas with Kevin's Parents & Family

Our third and final Christmas celebration was spent with Kevin's family.  We had such a wonderful time and enjoyed many delicious meals, beautiful holiday decor and fun family times together.  Here we are with Kevin's parents.

Beautiful Christmas Tree!

Place settings for Christmas dinner.  My mother-in-law LOVES dishes and loves to entertain.  She has the perfect dining room for it and does such a lovely job.  She has probably hosted more than 10 meals in here this month alone!

 Special christmas plates for the "12 Days of Christmas"  They are so beautiful!

Claire with Daddy and Lita

Our family on Christmas Eve!

Our sweet nephew Austin with his parents, Sara & Jonathan!  I can't believe how big this little boy is!  My how time flies!

Claire had lots of fun with her cousin!

She was excited and eager to begin opening the presents.

Of course, chewing on the bows is her favorite thing to do when she thinks Mommy isn't looking...

Finally, it was time to begin!

 The dollhouse had to be one of her favorites from this Christmas celebration!  Thank you Lita & Grandpa!

 Christmas breakfast--oven baked french toast, scrambled eggs and bacon, yum yum!

 Once we got back home Daddy put together Claire's new car from Lita & Grandpa!  She loves it and I am sure this will provide hours of indoor entertainment once the hot summer rolls around!  Thank you!

 And just to keep things real, this is how 98% of our pictures turn out, haha!  Oh the joys of trying to capture the moments...it's worth all the effort though.

 And a sweet goodbye from Bindi who had a wonderful Christmas with my parents who took SUCH GOOD care of her!  She thoroughly enjoyed her stay and we are so thankful to them for their comfy, cozy accommodations for our sweet puppy over the holidays! 

I can't believe this Christmas is here and gone!  It was so much fun I wish it didn't have to end!  I just LOVE the Christmas spirit, the baking, the gift giving, the music, the decorating...I LOVE IT ALL!  It was a beautiful Christmas with lots of celebrating, lots of family fun and lots of food!

Our best gift of all this year was Claire!  What a wonderful addition to our lives and our family.  We love you so, so, sooooooo much sweet Claire and we loved every minute of celebrating your first Christmas with you!  I can hardly wait to do it all again next year!
