Christmas Day

We had the most perfect, most lazy, and most wonderful Christmas day this year. Livy loved opening all of her presents, and opening Penny's presents as well! She loved her new toys, Minnie Mouse dollhouse and Cupcake Legos. Ryan and I got a new fridge, shutters, and a new house for Christmas!






We also signed Livy up for dance class, so a big part of her Christmas were all of her new dance clothes. She immediately wanted to go put them all on and dance around the house. I love this little ballerina and her love for music and dance. 



After we had our own Christmas, we went to Mimi and Grandpas for the traditional Farnsworth Christmas spread - pudding rolls, oranges with powdered sugar, and sausage. 





We opened all of our presents, and spent the morning/afternoon all just hanging out and chillin' in our pajamas. Livy loved playing with her cousins, dressing up as princesses and dancing all around. 







After we felt beyond lazy, we decided to get some fresh air and run around in the snow. The kids weren't the only ones having a blast. Even little Trey-man got his first snow day. 






We ended the day with another feast, and more lazy hanging around. Like I said, the most perfectly wonderful lazy Christmas. 



Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was magical. A whole bunch of the Farnsworth Family all went to Grandpa's for a little get together and music program. It was fun to see extended family that we haven't seen in months or years. We loved all spending that special time with Grandpa.


That night we did a sweet little nativity with all the kids (except Penny and Brooklyn). It was the sweetest moment. Grandpa read Luke 2, and we had all the kids dress up. Livy was Mary, Addelyn was the shepherd, Savannah was the wiseman, Liam was Joseph, Lucy an angel, and Trey was Baby Jesus. 






We then went home and had our own Christmas Eve. We opened our Christmas jammies, and then got a plate of treats out for Santa and his reindeer. Livy was such a good helper and so excited. It was so fun to have Christmas Eve in our own home. 






We all went to bed with great anticipation for Christmas and what Santa would bring!!

Early Christmas with the Jacksons

We had an unusual Christmas because Bob and Sue went to Arizona for Christmas because Jane Anne was having her baby. So we had our Christmas with them the week before Christmas before she left. Livy got some fun Princess Sofia toys, and Cinderella Legos. Livy was in heaven. We were so grateful we got to celebrate Christmas with Grammy and Grandpa, they sure knew how to make Livy happy!







Annual Graham Cracker Houses

We have an annual tradition to make graham cracker houses as a family. It was fun to see everyone making their little houses with their little families. The houses can't be as perfect when there are little hands trying to help!! I love this tradition, and love being with all of my family.













Cousins Come to Town

We had been looking forward to this Christmas for so long because we were so excited to see our family that was coming in town. Livy and Lucy were immediate buddies. Since Lucy is from California, she was soo excited to play in the snow. And Livy was even more excited to get to play with Lucy! They built a little snowman, threw snowballs, and the dad's took turns pulling them around on the sled. It was a perfect snow day.
