We started Christmas morning bright and early by going to our church's Christmas morning service at 7:00am. Jonah and I led the carols along with Pastor Bruce. (Once again sorry for any blurry pictures but my lense is probably going to be broken for a while)
Evan got to light the last Advent Candle and Pastor Bruce read the kids a book and when Emery saw her cousins up on stage she wanted to be up there as well so her daddy took her up.
The Nickell kids played and sang Little Drummer Boy together. They did a great job and everyone enjoyed the performance.
Cousins in Christmas pjs.
Back at our house we hosted Christmas for Jonah's family so we waited for his siblings to arrive between 9:00-10:00am. There were TONS of presents.
All the Trevino cousins.
Getting ready to open gifts.
There was wrapping paper and presents everywhere!
Everyone had to leave around 2:00pm so we cleaned up a bit real quick and then headed out to my parent's house for round 2.
All the Chandler cousins.
Being the youngest Emery got to open the first gift, her cousins were happy to help her.
We decided to do Secret Santa this for gifts and it seemed to work out really well. Jonah got Evan and gave him Squigz. Evan had requested these and was quite pleased.
Playing with the Squigz.
Daddy reading Emery and new book from Pastor Bruce.
Emery got new pj pants to match her cousins.
All in all it was a very blessed and happy Christmas celebrating together with the people who are dear to us.
