Merry Christmas!

 We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!  We always have fun, laugh lots and make memories to last.  We are so very blessed.  Family truly is the greatest blessing of all and no gift will ever match it. 

We enjoyed a wonderful meal downtown at Ruth's Chris before Christmas Eve mass.  

Right before the wrapping paper explosion.

We stuff each others stockings and it's always one of our favorite parts of Christmas morning.  I was thrilled with these notepads.  It's the little things you know?  I am a list maker.  These pads are my absolute favorite thing, but it can't be the yellow ones.  Told you, it's the little things.  These two know me so well. 

While it wouldn't fit in her stocking, LG was thrilled to get this big burrito blanket.  I have no idea but she thinks it is the funniest thing. 

Lily and I give Matt a hard time about his dry heels.  As a joke we put foot masks in his stocking.

Of course, Molly got treats.

Each year, Gracie gives Matt golf balls.  However, she personalizes them and Matt is always anxious and nervous as to what she has printed on them.  Needless to say, she didn't disappoint.  Too funny!

Molly with her new toy.

So excited to get a new wedge.

I don't know out of the three of us who was more excited about this gift.  You see, Molly loves to be sneaky and grab the oven mitts when I'm cooking.  The thing is, she also likes to chew them and when we go to use them, we end up getting hot spots where she has chewed them.  I keep complaining about it so Gracie gave me a new set and we have all used them since and commented how nice it is to not fear getting one of those bare spots. ha!

This girl loves green.  You've never seen someone so excited about a new retro green keyboard and mouse.  The kid was actually taking typing test online throughout the day to use it.  

Anytime Tory Burch is involved I'm excited.  

Love this kid to pieces

I got a cute new pair of Birdies, but it's the box that is just so beautiful, you hate to throw it away.

Matt is constantly telling Gracie and I that he's "resting his eyes."  Lily gifted him some socks this year that on the bottom actually say, "I'm not sleeping.  I'm resting my eyes." 

Gracie and Gran gifted Matt a new Patagonia fly fishing pouch.  He was excited to get that thing.  Gracie and I have been kidding him that is' really just a man purse.

Lily was excited to get her own new crossbody that she's had her eye on.

Some of the aftermath

After all that excitement, she's done for the rest of the day!
