We were so happy to finally get our annual family picture in front of our tree. We had it taken at Sammy's birthday party last year but this year it was canceled because of the snow. Sammy was too excited to see his Auntie Ashley so he wasn't the most cooperative but what can you do?
Ashley and I made cookies for our Christmas Eve service. It was a nice excuse to decorate sugar cookies. We made cookies in the shape of our initials (one for Ry too) and had fun making lots of words with them. It was a great time and a great mess.
After a beautiful service at our church, Christ Church went above and beyond, we went to my parents to open gifts. Sammy's are wrapped in bubble wrap and hidden in the mix for him to pick out. He knows the drill and was not pleased that we were blocking his access to take pictures.
One of the best gifts of the night was Sammy's Santa chicken. My Dad was less than impressed with it but my mom was proud of herself:)
It was hard not to think about Ry not being there for our annual tradition next year but it could not have been a more perfect day to look back on.
