First Christmas(es)

One thing this year has shown me is that our family has all that we need.  We would not have been able to get through this first beautiful year without our family.  
We thank You.
Our Christmas festivities began on its Eve with my dad, his wife, Stacy and my sister, Kylee.
A gift from Storey's Great Nana in Canada--it's a rocking chair!  It is a hit!
Christmas Morning:  Storey woke us at dawn to start our day.  
Josh always begins our Christmas with a reading of Christ's birth.
The ladies:  Storey is so lucky to have her grandmothers and great-grandmothers (on both sides) in her life.  Featured here is Storey's Great Grammy.  I am proud to say she is 93 years young.  She has been a huge part of my life as she took care of Kylee and me growing up as my parents worked. Storey is Great-Grammy's "Dolly".  

*I regret that I do not have photos to share of our Christmas with the Alder family.  My parents hosted a lovely and loving brunch at their home.  It was also a treat to have our family Jeremy, Jackie and their three boys with us.
