Another thing we did over Christmas break was get passports for the kids!
No trips planned as of yet but now we’re ready! Where we headed?
Christmas day
On Christmas day we headed over to Mary Beth’s to see family and enjoy a Christmas meal!
It was fun for the cousins to get to hang out and play together.
We enjoyed seeing family and catching up…
and then went back home to rest and relax. Some choose to relax a little differently than others!
Ha! Merry Christmas!
Christmas morning
Excitement was high at 6am! I thought we had set a “no earlier than” time of 6:30 but they were all up and ready to go by 6am so…Santa time! Maxwell had even already showered…gotta get that hair looking good for pics of course. 😉
They were happy to see that Santa came!
There were some pretty fun surprises included!
Everyone had fun checking out all of their Santa haul…
Robert and I both managed to surprise each other…a grill and Gucci! Merry Christmas!
The kids then to open the presents from us. Boys first…
Yeeess! Tickets to see the Heat play the Lakers in Miami! Then it was Samantha’s turn…
A Taylor Swift t-shirt! Yay! but wait…an envelope?!
Tickets to see Taylor Swift in concert in Atlanta! Woohoo!!
We had some happy little elves Christmas morning. They were also happy because no one had to rush to clean up their stuff because we weren’t hosting Christmas lunch! That made me a happy elf too! We tried out new Christmas gifts…
took time checking out all of our gifts…
and enjoyed pancakes cooked by Maxwell!
A very merry Christmas morning!
Almost Christmas
After all the parties were over, it was almost time for Christmas! We had Feliz Navidad nachos on the 23rd…
and enjoyed a blazing fire when the temps dropped to the single digits!!
On Christmas Eve we had lunch at the club…
So happy we got this picture outside even though it was maybe 20 degrees! Thank goodness it was sunny!
and then went to the 5pm service at church where Maxwell acolyted.
Steaks for dinner, cookies for Santa, and then off to bed!
It’s almost Christmas!
Grownup Christmas fun
The kids weren’t the only ones with lots of fun parties this holiday!
Lunches with friends…
A little dinner party at our house…
Where I got to use my new fancy placemats and napkins!
All dressed up for Robert’s office party…
and even more dressed up for a fancy party at the club!
and here’s the cute kids one more time just because…
Merry merry!
