This Christmas I had more than twenty-four hours off!! Since we hadn't been able to make it to an Ecklund/Regan Christmas Eve party in a few years, we decided to stay local for the holidays. The party this year was extra special with appearances from the Chicago Regans, the Mangas family from Pennsylvania, the Worshams all the way from India, and Michael and Sheri who haven't made it for at least ten years! Harper did well with the big crowd and anxiously awaited Santa Claus with the cousins. We had an amazing time. Christmas morning was perfect as Lisa was called off from work and could spend the day with us. Harper must have been a good girl this year because she received the most wonderful presents. Alex and Harper fly off to Colorado tomorrow to celebrate the holidays with the other half of our family. Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas Eve!

Just hanging out with the cousins!
Harper started off the cousin exchange this year.
She was lucky and had Ryan.
Faking out cousins awaiting gifts!
Lily had Harper and gave her the cutest tea set and books. Harper preferred to read her new books while holding the tea pot.
Merry Christmas!
Let the games begin! The last gift this year involved a three part competition. The first part was reverse charades.
Part two involved Christmas carols.
And part three was intense with oven mitts and packaging tape!
The stairs get more crowded every year!
Christmas morning!
Harper's new wheels!
We were so happy to have Lisa all day!
Santa delivered for Moo too!
Grandma and Harper
Big presents for such a little girl.
