This year we hosted the Christmas Eve party for Buddy's side at our house. We rotate each year having it at alternate houses.
We usually do this on Christmas Eve and then on Christmas Morning I do a Breakfast and have Buddy's brother and sister over and then we head over to my mom's house for my side of the family. It all makes for a pretty fun but usually very exhausting few days.
I try to remind myself who it is really all about. This sweet and gentle prayer from a child reminded some of us.
I was worried there would not be enough food to feed us all. Ha! We had enough to feed an army! I felt guilty.

Then I worried if we were going to have enough gifts for us all to feel we got our fair share in the gift exchange. Ha! Seriously, just kidding. This picture does not capture the massive amount of gifts that covered our great room. I truly felt ashamed.
Sean said the blessing for us at Christmas breakfast that went a little something like this: "Dear Jesus, Happy birthday and I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Amen".

What a sweet thought from Sean...
Now... do you know Robin Pass? I met her at the OBGYN office years ago, and she told me about going to China to get Ella Grace - and I followed her journey for weeks! I feel like I know that family! (and I don't, I just met her once)... how cool is that?
