Our little family Christmas

We did our family Christmas a few days early this year. We had so much traveling to do, we wanted to make sure we celebrated Christmas at home together, just the 4 of us. The night before (our Christmas Eve) we had a big night planned with a special dinner, reading the Christmas story and letting the kids open the presents they had bought for one another. But unfortunately Mia came down with a little virus. So, we spent most of the evening holding her. I hate when they are sick, but I love how much I get to hold them and love on them. They become so cuddly. But by the next day she was feeling much better and we were able to celebrate all day. Starting with presents form Mommy and Daddy in the living room. Then that night we went the Christmas Eve service at our church and it was wonderful. Then we left that night for Louisiana. Yes! I know, we are crazy! But we wanted to see Ryan's grandfather and we had such a good time visiting with him. This was such a wonderful Christmas.
