Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

I can't believe the holidays are over!

I really can't believe I have to go back to work tomorrow.

It's been a time to rest, relax and recharge.

Getting to spend 10 awesome days with

my family was a total bonus.

 

We spent Christmas Eve at a

 seafood Chinese buffet. 

 

 

There were smiles all around.

Even Austin, who doesn't care for seafood

enjoyed all the options the buffet afforded.

 

After dinner, we headed home to wait for Santa.

He didn't disappoint.

 

Christmas Day arrived,

and everyone had something under the tree,

even the puppies.

 

Cole was thrilled with his new puppy jacket...

can you tell?

 

I wore my special Christmas

Elfie Selfie sweater.

Isn't it cute?

It even has a sequined cap.

 

After we finished opening gifts,

cleaned up the aftermath and got ready,

we headed to Todd's dad's house.

 

 

We took several pictures and visited

while Anne was busy making brunch and dinner.

 

I had to get pictures with my

beautiful daughter,

 

and handsome son.

 

We played Pictionary (or something like it),

ate dinner, and then took our yearly

family portrait.

 

 

And like that, Christmas was over.

 

How was your Christmas?
