Ho! Ho! Ho!

We had a wonderful few days in Cary for Christmas.  It always feels too short!  We loved all the decorations at Gigi and Poppy's house, especially the row of stockings above the fireplace.  The Christmas Eve party was a blast as usual.  We are lucky to spend this time of year with extended family.  We were able to open gifts with Nova and Willow this year!  The kids must have been very good as they received many amazing presents.  I can't believe another year has flown by.  We are looking forward to 2023, the year of the geyser!

      

Harper loves when Grandma reads to her.

     

Bay set up fun Christmas activities for the kids during the Christmas Eve party.

   

    

     

   

    

  

Waiting for the cousin exchange!

    

        

Harper was very excited to fake cousins out with her Secret Santa gift!

     

Harper helped Ethan with his gift.  

    

      

Ethan got a fairy toy from his secret Santa, Nova.  It was a huge hit!!!

I always love to watch mom and Teresa exchange gifts after the party.
