This year Tyler and I spent the whole of Christmas Eve with his family, and Christmas day was split between both of our families.
I only took a few pictures Christmas Eve...
Christmas Eve was spent hanging out and watching Christmas movies with the Oscarsons. We had a nice dinner of Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, gravy, lingonberry jam and jello.
Tyler's mom always makes/bakes lots and lots of treats and goodies for Christmas and Christmas Eve. I should've taken pics of them all! They were so good!
I just love cozy fires and Christmas lights!
Libby was our St. Lucia
Christmas morning we went back over at the Oscarson's by 9AM and immediately began opening presents. (They had already started, though it wasn't hard for us to catch up with them).
I love these next few pictures. This was right after Gemma woke up. The pic on the right, I feel like she's looking at me like..."help, mom!" (She's kind of emotional when she first wakes up hahah!)
And then.....
That lip!! Oh I love it so much!!
I had to take lots of pictures of Riley holding Gemma. This was the first time he's shown interest in her! He asked to hold her! Hahah!
Also notice her huge long tongue....she gets that from me! LOL
My favorite Christmas present this year was the stockings that Rowan made for Gemma and I! She knitted the same pattern for us that Tyler's grandma did for all of them so we now all have matching stockings with our names on it! I might have teared up a little when I opened them.
Around noon we left to head up to my family's house for the rest of the day. There we pretty much just hung out and enjoyed each other's company and ate a yummy ham dinner!
Gemma and her cousins, Cooper and Highland.
These boys are only 4 days apart! They'll be 2 in just about 5 months!
This year's Christmas was nice, but I'm looking forward to the Christmases to come! It's only going to get more fun each year as Gemma grows and I can't wait!
Merry Christmas to all
and to all a good night!
