Christmas Part 2 with the Lanes!

The day after Christmas, Nana, Papa, Aunt Allison, Izzy and PJ all came for a visit!  We had a nice meal and even celebrated Papa's birthday.  They brought tons of loot too so it was like Christmas all over again!

Christmas Day 1

Again this year, no one woke up early (which is a tradition we are happy to keep) on Christmas morning and so we all made our way downstairs in our jammies around 8:30.  The kids were excited to see what Santa left out for them and we had a great time unwrapping everything and then staying in our jammies and playing all day after Grandma and Grandpa left to celebrate down in NC.

Matching socks!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is here already!  It has been a busy Christmas season and such a fun one beginning to share our Christmas traditions w/ Kerrington.  We did our typical church, hors d'overs, setting out cookies for Santa and reading 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.  It was great having Grandma and Grandpa there to share in our new Lane family traditions too!

Church selfie... our year 2 inappropriate tradition

A family picture before we took off our nice clothes... well we let Charlie wear red sweatpants to church so not all of us had to change.
