Christmas Day

It's become our tradition to get up early on Christmas Day and drive to the Ham to spend the day with the Crowes.  Sister and Blake always put on a spread for us and we love getting to see the girls with all their loot.  We were blessed again this year and had a wonderful Christmas Day filled with love, laughter and a few a lot of presents!

This was one of my favorite presents that DB got...an AU leotard!

I gave Sister something she's been asking for almost daily...thanks, Claire for your help with this!

Love this ornament Momma D surprised me with...she had no idea I had seen one almost identical to it on Britt's tree and had been wanting one!

Blake loved his ginormous bottle of Hendricks!

GrandBobby and Dee Dee surprised DB with this vanity...Dee Dee had it all tricked out with the girliest accessories!

DB had a blast playing dress-up with all the things Dee Dee had tucked away in the vanity!

It definitely was a "Brave" Christmas for DB...she wore the dress all day and shot her bow and arrows for hours!

Blake built this costume rack just for K...it is amazing!

DB's new Dora doll does gymnastics all by herself!

Libby's owl sleeping bag was one of my favorite presents!

Since Big Sister got her own vanity, Licious got one that was just her size!

Her learning cube provided lots of entertainment!

Lish is obsessed with GrandBobby's mustache!

Sister's Jingle Juice is always a big hit!

It took us a month to finally get this picture taken...3 sets of sisters!  The big sisters are on the left and the little sisters are on the right!

Hope you and your family had a blessed Christmas!

Eat, Drink and Be Merry!

Thursday night, I hosted my annual Christmas party at the Cliffs.  30 of my favorite people were there...it was kind of a tight squeeze in my crib, but we were all feelin' the holiday love!  In honor of the holidays, I busted out my holiday bling...we ate, drank and were VERY merry!

Loved all my Christmas decor this year!

My party isn't complete without festive drinks!

My Jingle Juice is always a hit!

All of my favorite people were there...loved having the Caffeys!

Always love seeing my A'ville peeps!

So glad Sister was able to celebrate with me!
