  1. What a great Christmas celebration with those you love.

    The down-on-the-floor coloring, the passing of Christmas treats, the new doll..., all part of what looks to be a fabulous family gathering. Love it.

  4. Love it all, easily the best day of the year. I love how Grandpa ALWAYS passes out cookies at the same exact time :) It was all perfect, but way too quick!
