We celebrated the holiday season at our house this year!

We have spent every single Christmas in New York with my family, until now.  We decided to have Christmas in our house this year.  

It was extra special since it was our first Christmas in our new home.

The first Christmas for the kids to experience the magic of Christmas morning in their own home, under their own Christmas tree.

Grammy came down for the week and made Christmas cookies with Jaylee and Marshall.

We had a Christmas Eve celebration with a big ham dinner feast.  Russ's family and my Mom were there.

Pappa Bob with all of his grand kids

That night right before bed the kids sprinkled reindeer food in the front lawn.  Jaylee was looking up in the sky for Santa's reindeer.

Early Christmas morning, Santa came!

Sawyer's first Christmas!

Marshall passed out, nerf gun in hand....

NEW YEARS EVE

Sawyer is always up this time of night, eating, so it wasn't a big deal for him.  Jaylee and Marshall on the other hand, NEVER get to stay up this late.  So this was a big treat for them.

They both made it to midnight, which surprised me.  We got them sparkling grape juice to drink in plastic champagne glasses.

It was a wonderful celebrating the holidays in our new home..... Although we missed our family in New York it still was a wonderful time for us.

Peace and love...........
