Christmas 2013

Growing up Christmas Eve was always when we celebrated our Christmas with Poppa. But she was out in North Carolina with my Aunt's family so she wasn't able to be there, but we had our fancy dinner still. Dad had the brilliant idea of ordering dinner from Whole Foods and it was delicious! I don't think I've ever had a better gravy than Whole Foods. Spencer came over and spent the night so he could be with us on Christmas morning.

We always have Christmas crackers to open up during dinner. Then we all have to wear silly paper crowns.

My Dad had a tripod, so I was able to take a picture of all of us by the tree. We missed having Connor there! Marjorie was already asleep.

 

My pretty mama : )

Stockings all hung up.

Christmas morning! We had Connor on facetime all morning so it was kind of like he was there with us. 

 

Marjorie loves facetime : )

Looking at her favorite faces book I made online. That was all we got Marjorie this year, as I knew our family would be incredibly generous (which they were). She got lots of cute clothes and fun toys which we're enjoying now. She did find the wrapping paper the most entertaining of course.

 

Glamme got Marjorie a little elf outfit which she of course had to wear all day on Christmas.

 

It was pretty adorable.

We had so much fun in California and are so grateful for my parents hosting us and being so generous. Marjorie and I got to spend a month there and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
